I did a thesis on this in college. Affirmations... tell yourself something often enough and srong enough and you will start believing it eventually. You know "Fake it till you make it"!
Your subconscious mind doesn't know if you're telling the truth or lying, so if you say the same thing over and over, it will soon take what you are saying to be a "fact" and believe it.
So what you're saying makes sense. If you keep saying, "I CAN HANDLE THIS!" enough times, it will become a fact. I just never thought about this in relation to CH. Guess what I'm gonna do NEXT HA? I'm gonna start working on the old subconscious mind (haven't done that in a while- bet the old guy has gotten lazy - bout time he went back to work).
Maybe we should concentrate on this and see where we can go with it. It's worth a try.
