The inner troll is the part of the brain that wants to protect you from embarrassment or failure. It exacerbates self-limiting beliefs by using negative language such as: 

• You can’t do that. 

• You’re not good enough. 

• You’ll never be able to do that. 

The inner angel is your inner troll’s friendly and encouraging alter ego. It wants you to succeed in life and to try, even if something is difficult. It isn’t worried about failure or embarrassment. It uses positive affirmations which give confidence such as:

• You are good enough. 

• You’ll get better in time.  

Many people battle with their inner troll. Learning how to switch negative thoughts to positive affirmations can have a life-changing effect on success.
