Kick the Can't

Today that book basically talked about reworking your vocabulary. The words you speak to yourself can have a powerful impact on what you do and don't do. When you say "I can't" you usually follow through and...don't. So instead of saying "I can't," the book suggest you say "hard but not impossible" and "i'll find a way" "maybe I could." For example: instead of saying "I can't stop eating tons of candy" I could say "It's hard but not impossible to avoid eating a ton of candy; I'll find a way. Maybe I could eat a small portioned amount and substitute fresh fruit instead for my cravings."
