Most people try to change their sense of "not good enough" from the head.
But it’s actually more effective to change it physically in the body. This is how:
Gratitude is the antidote
But not the kind of gratitude that you would expect.

Imagine your internal voice says: “Not enough money, not enough money...”
Or: “I’m an idiot, I’m an idiot...”
Or: “I’m an idiot, I’m an idiot...”

So if you feel a lack of money, think of all the ways in which you’re wealthy.
Or if you feel a lack of love, look at all the ways in which you know love.

When we’re solving problems we think: what’s wrong and how do I fix it?
Gratitude focuses on: what’s right and how do I grow it?
