| Abandon ship |
There is the moment in the movie Titanic, after the ship hits an iceberg, the captain calls for a reversal in the engines. If you've seen the movie, you know that the engines
don’t automatically change the boat's direction; there is a
slowing of the forward movement until it pauses at neutral, and only then do they begin to turn in the opposite direction.

Similarly, the beliefs you hold have a certain momentum attached to them.
When, for instance, you think the thought I am a worthless person enough times, the thought gets strengthened to the point it becomes a belief, and then you're headed directly for a large iceberg. Listen closely to the definition
of "belief": a psychological state in which an individual holds a premise to be
true. This definition says nothing about the belief being true, rather that the belief seems true because the individual thinks it so.
Just like changing the physical body from a beer gut to a six-pack is not possible overnight, so too does a un-mentally fit individual need to hit the affirmations deck or do appreciation exercises to get started. Caring that you feel good in single moment may sound crazy, but if you don't shoot for the moon and miss, how will you ever land among the stars?
