Let's say it's an audition or a standardized test or something that's impossible to be 100% prepared for. You still want to believe in yourself.
(In the way that I operate, this is related to anxiety. I didn't explain because that discussion will likely work against me in my circumstances. I'm battling performance anxiety.)

Joe - i've recently realised, randomly, whilst being the most depressed and anxious I have been for a long time, that actually NOT saying that to myself works better. I'm going with the flow and it seems to be working better, still doing the things I want to, but when it gets too much, I accept that and take a step back.
