Affirmations (I fill my treasure chest with them -- by sharing them I build self esteem in others and my self.)
Visualize (I think about -- see --and expect good things to happen.)
Evaluate (Feedback -- I catch myself and others doing something right or almost right and acknowledge it and
relate to ares for improvement.)
REMEMBER - FEEDBACK IS THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS
