Never make the mistake of fuelling your negative traits of your character by belittling or finding fault with yourself. As such if your inner conversation is about what you lack, or what your flaws are, you are feeding the negative energies. Instead, the sure path to overcome them is to shift your consciousness to the opposite pole of such traits, uplift your mind by thinking of the good qualities in you or a lofty ideal that you cherish in your mind, the ideation of the Divine which is the ultimate Source of light and love that always transforms.
