Love this - just recently finished that Goggins book. The cookie jar was a big takeaway for me and I am encouraging others I know to use it when faced with doubt and lack of confidence. Cheers for the reminder.
I love the idea of a compliment sandwich. By having these compliments and good wishes accessible, that can become a great pick me up for dark days, thanks for sharing.
This was another impactful piece for me. These are strategies that I try and hold to but not in such a formalised fun way. Thank you for sharing. I will implement them immediately. I particularly took note of the perspective of a compliment sandwich not being about ego but gaining confidence and encouragement from how others perceive you. And cookies are delicious, however being Australian I might have to call mine a biscuit jar 😉
Have to agree with Sandra...I very much want a sandwich and a cookie right now 😂 Really appreciate that your posts often have something that’s actionable in them...something that’s easily actionable too. Definitely going to try implement these in my life more as a frequent negative thinker myself.
I love these ideas - and particularly your qualification at the end that these are corrective measures, and not aimless ego-boosting! I hope you explore the value of giving more in another piece - the footnote was not enough for my appetite!!!!
So much of our struggle is a mental one, often unrecognized. Good points about purposeful redirection. It’s good to have such vivid word pictures to use.

Thank you!
Choc Chip obviously, haha, but shortbread is quite delightful too 😊
Both excellent choices!
Hi Chris. Thank you for this post. I absolutely loved it.
Thanks Sanuj!

Thanks Leanne! I am a biscuit fan too. What is your favorite kind?
Not to minimize this really lovely technique, one that I'm very appreciative to have learned about from you, but: WHAT KIND OF COOKIE
If you are asking me to name my favorite cookie, dark chocolate Milanos. Or thin mints. Or....both.
Excellent answers, both!
🙌
Oh, I so needed this one! Thank you for posting!
🙂

This is great, Chris. It also made me hungry! xo
I figured if the article was a dud, at least everyone likes cookies 😂
