Read: Linguistic Framing
Read the Linguistic Framing section of Dr. HermanSJr.'s workbook "Metaphysical Science, Psychology & Tarot Activity Book: Fun, Never-Ending Psychological Activities To Transform Your Mindset".
LINGUISTIC FRAMING
You must always mind your language and the language of others. You must regulate the spoken and unspoken language from you and to you so a single variable of non-conducive language (i.e. language that goes against your ideal cognitive schema, your ideal thinking-foundation, your ideal self) never gets past your defenses to sink itself into your subconscious and start to multiply with negativity.
When you speak via written or verbal means, ensure your language never represents limitations or other negativities. If you write a five-word message that takes two seconds to write, you stop and immediately change the verbage to one that is still truthful to your message but rewords (ie. reframes) the message in a positive, conducive manner, regardless of how much longer or frustrating it may be to keep redoing the message.
Also, when someone else speaks via written or verbal means, ensure their language surrounding you never represents limitations or other negativities. If they write a five-word message to you, you reply as needed, but with a reworded (ie. reframed) message of what they wrote so their sent-message to you is now of a positive, conducive nature, regardless of how much longer or frustrating it may be to keep redoing their message.
You must do this via Linguistic Framing, or framing, or reframing, or rewording. This is where you take the communication and restate it in a manner that presents the subject (you) in a brighter image.
At the onset, this will be frustrating and time-consuming because you are not used to doing this, so you will be reformatting your and others' words a lot—emails, text messages, chat messages, profiles, speech, etc., but it is mandatory.
As we understand in Systems Theory, in Chaos Theory, every minute change in any system leads to a large change in trajectory, in output. Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions (SDIC) teaches us that if we change even a tiny variable in a system, that system's results will be drastically different over time. This is the same truth in everything in existence. For example, if one uses just 10 minutes a day to learn something new for one month, s/he will have learned 300 minutes (five hours) of that topic by the end of that month, and even more over more time; if one uses just 15 minutes a day to exercise, or practice mindfulness, or practice deep-breathing, or practice forest- bathing for one month, s/he will have improved his/her overall, general wellness by the end of that month, and even more over more time.

Following this truth, your changes in the communication surrounding you (including your own and others' about you that you come to know) will collectively, over time, have substantial changes in your vision, your mindset, your confidence, your core.
Read aloud the below instances of communication about you and reword, reframe them into ones ideal to your mindset revamping.
- I am sorry to say _____(your name)____ I know you do not like it, but you have this disease and it is untreatable.
- (your name), if you keep to your regime of medicine and therapy, you may be able to live a longer life with your disease. At least that will give you some comfort.
- Look, I love you as a friend now for 20 years __(your name), but you are quite lazy many times.
Self-Talk:
I can't take this stress from my job anymore.
You talking with two others:
Person A: Did you know (your name)___ did this?
Person B: Well, yes, but in__(your name)___'s defense, s/he was never the best person to handle this anyway.
