The trouble with reality is that there's no background music

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music. So the saying goes. Often the only sound is the office clattering or kids screaming. Take a break! It is not easy but you can take a break in your head. Just for a moment. Switch off. Then think of something nice about yourself. Try it now...

Now, give yourself a compliment. Instead of thinking "I feel good today," say to yourself, "I look good today." Nobody's going to hear you and it doesn't matter because this compliment is just for you.

Instead of "These shoes look great," say "I look great in these shoes."
Instead of "This is a nice-looking handbag," say "This handbag suites me nice."
Instead of "I like my phone," say "This phone likes me!"
Instead of "I love chocolate," say "I will look good covered in chocolate."

And you'll find that it will be music to your ears.
