A rough start is just that. Rough.
Maybe we feel our life started rough, maybe just this morning had an expectantly poor start.
The feelings we have in these moments define how we react to them. Our conscious mind can dictate which feelings come in the forefront and the subconscious is impressed by those feelings. See this book for more.
I feel like I am no good at____…can be transformed to change the outcome.
I didn’t succeed at____…but I am____(insert positive truth about self).
This positive truth can overcome the negative and impress our subconscious with positivity rather than negativity.
We don’t ignore the negative experience, rather accept it, and overcome it with a positive.
Another danger is moving towards thinking we are owed something when we have a rough start…that’s a whole other idea.
