Not sure if this is a dupe, but I've been recently trying something out and it seems to be working fairly decently. In the world of game, there's a lot of stuff about affirmations, or making positive statements that will presumably lead to improvement in game and belief system. While a lot of mainstream science is fairly ambivalent about NLP, that's a story for another day. Either way, this is a widely recognized part of inner game and its development.
Anyway, I read something a few days ago that really made me think. That was about looping your affirmations, rather than simply saying them in front of a mirror. For someone like me, I've found it to be far more effective. As with all game things, your mileage may vary.
Basically, this follows three steps:
1. Figure out what you want the affirmation to be. For me, it's "I'm so fucking charming and high-status." I find that works for me. I personally believe that it's individual. I will, however, say that you should avoid words like "can't," "won't," "don't," or any negative language at all. For example. "I'm not a pussy" should be replaced with "I'm confident." There's something in our brains that will ignore the negation.
2. Start looping it. You're in your car, start looping it. Start looping it in the gym. Loop it at the supermarket, gas station, basically anywhere where you don't have to think about other things. I try to loop it whenever I can, wherever I can, at least once or twice a day. From my experience, this will solidify the belief and help you make it part of yourself, vs. "fake it until you make it."
3. Loop it and have a physical challenge. For me, I loop it when I'm taking a cold shower (if you're not already, start doing it. I've done it for about a week and a half, and I've already seen the results). If you can maintain the loop under the cold water, then you'll be able to maintain it in front of a hot girl.

If you're not fucking her, someone else is.
