To change a habit, make a conscious decision, then act out the new behavior.

A healthy strong ego, with plenty of self-esteem, does not feel itself threatened by every innocent remark.

Do not say to yourself, 'I am going to act this way tomorrow.' Just say to yourself - 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way NOW - for 30 minutes - today.'

You can always find the sun within yourself if you will only search.

See yourself reacting to threats, not by running away or evading them, but by meeting them, dealing with them, grappling with them in an aggressive intelligent manner.

Unthaw and become more natural.

Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively.
