Negatives To Positives

PICs are Positive Inner Comments that you tell yourself every day and NICs are Negative Inner Comments you tell yourself. Negative comments are not good for your self-esteem. To help you with lifting your self-esteem, when you think of a negative comment, try to think of the positives to cancel the negatives out. Now when you are in a situation where you use a negative comment, try telling yourself the positive of the negative.
