My aquacize teacher is fond of joking around, and last night, as we all flailed and splashed in our attempts to balance our bodies on foam noodles, he riffed a bit on positive affirmations. 

“Look yourself in the mirror in the morning and give yourself a positive affirmation,” he said.  “Say, ‘I’m positive I can’t do it!'”

Sometimes it’s hard to be positive (even those of us who do it for a living think so!).  So for this morning, I like his version of an affirmation.  Say it with me, filling in whatever “it” you’re facing today:  I’m positive I can’t do it.

Now go prove yourself wrong.
