I was listening to an episode of Diary of a CEO, which I don't know, has it got a little bit Andrew Tatey?

I'm not too sure.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but some of the guests on there, I'm like, really?

Is this what we're doing?

But fine.

I was listening to an episode of that today.

He was talking to a lady about how your thoughts shape your reality, right?

And she was saying, if you are about to walk into a job interview or a party and you're feeling really nervous, you're feeling really scared and you say to yourself an affirmation like, I am so confident.

I am so well-liked.

I am so qualified for this.

People are going to love what I have to say and I am competent.

And Stephen Bartlett said, is that not just lying to yourself?

And she was like, yeah.

Sorry, I don't know the lady's name, but she was like, yeah, it is lying to yourself.

In the beginning, if you think about it, any manifestation that we are bringing into our lives is essentially a lie, right?

So when I was pregnant with my first child and I would visualize and tell myself, this is my daughter.

This is a girl.

I'm having a healthy baby girl.

This is the only reality for me.

That was a lie.
