Itemize some of the strategies in the text that describe changing self-talk

What will be an ideal response?


Answer:
• Bust the myth of "I can't.": To bust the myth of "I can't", try expanding the statement with an action within your control. For instance, "I can, because I'm going to walk on the indoor track at the fitness center today, and whenever it snows." Or, "I can, because not even this friendship is worth more than my staying sober"
• Affirm yourself, and then affirm yourself again: Positive affirmations are often the subject of spoofs, but they can be highly effective in supporting change, because they force you to envision yourself as you plan to be.
• Dump the disaster script: If you experience a setback in the progress of attaining your goal, be careful not to extend momentary failure to the entire, long-term goal. Learn to forgive yourself for lapses, learn from them and try again for success.
