Shiny Hair

Do you think my hair looks shiny?!

I remember A Hundred Years ago, someone I like very much told me that when she’s feeling flat, she says this to her partner so that they’ll say: yes! It is! And then she feels great.

At the time, it made me laugh. But now I think about how helpful it is as a strategy to use…with yourself.

When you find yourself yourself feeling flat you can simply ask yourself: do you think my hair is shiny?/I’m kind?/I made a great risotto?/I delivered a strong performance?/I wrote an awesome submission?

And then you simply answer yourself: yes! Yes it is! Yes you are! Yes you did!

And you end up feeling a little bit terrific.

[It sounds too simple but it actually works.]
