“Polly Squawk”: “If I don’t (make the team, best grade ,become cheerleader, I’ll just die.”
Challenge: “It will be nice if I (make the team) but all I can do is my best. If I don’t make it this time, I will try again. It does not mean I am a failure.”
Getting rid of your personal “Polly Squawks” can take some time. Every time you feel really angry, sad or embarrassed, ask yourself, “Is my thinking Stinky? Am I having a “Polly Squawk” message? What can I tell myself that makes more sense?”
Now, make yourself think the Challenge Message ten times and quit worrying about becoming a “Polly Perfect.”
