Even if the chicks won't eat it up, you still feel confident.

"When you repeted it long enough, even if you knew that was a lie, it will become a truth for you" And you will believe it and act likewise.

Heh hehe

I've been saying that for years! :D

It just comes over as confident and collected, and is an all round great phrase!

While we're on the subject of mantras....

This is a great thread, great ideas everyone, especially Giovanni with the phrase.

While we're on the subject of mantras, I just wanted to add a good one from Frank Herbert's Dune series.

This is the "Litany Against Fear," a poem characters recite to themselves when they're scared.

The long version is:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

The short version (familiar to those who've seen the "Children Of Dune" miniseries on Scifi, or one of its commercials) is:

"I will face my fears; I will let them pass through me."

Anyone have more of these?

"Das ist kein Problem." is good.
Another translation might be "(Ach), damit komm ich klar."

"Ich schaff es schon." is OK, but it sounds as if it's really hard for you.

"Nichts ist unmöglich." is bad, because it has been Toyota's slogan for years.

there is no spoon.

After seeing the film i used this little phrase to make me realise that the world around me, and my fears/inhibitions are all in my head.

there is no fear.
