Many of your thought patterns are actually just habits, rather than an intrinsic part of who you are. It's not easy and requires consistent effort like any habit change but they can be changed.
Without hesitation it’s making my bed in the morning. This video inspired me to this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zSg5yT0dJWk
I wish I could remember what my motivation for it was but it was certainly the most beneficial thing I'd ever done, until I found out about "un-making" your bed. If you're not changing your sheets every day, and let's be real no ones got time for that, it is more beneficial to pull your sheets off and let them air out for the day.
But goddamn that video might make me want to change my mind again.
Journaling and meditating.
This sums it up for me too.
I did thousands and thousands of out loud verbal affirmations until i learned to love myself limitlessly. It's a wonderful feeling!

Gaining just a little bit of control over my thoughts about myself
I quit drinking for a while there and when I did I picked up this peculiar habit of drinking tons of soda water. Still do it to this day. Love my tiny bubbles.
FYI Soda water is still highly acidic and will therefore erode your enamel on your teeth.
I know a lot of people don’t believe in it, but fluoridated water is a proven way to combat this. If you drink a bit of water after a glass of soda water, it will protect your teeth against the acidity of the soda water.
PS: I’m not interested in debating anti-science idiots on this matter. You don’t need to listen to this advice, if you don’t want to.

Listening to audiobooks to fall asleep. I've had insomnia forever and it helps better than anything else I've tried.
taking vitamins, drinking green tea, daily 30 minuet walk and trying to learn something new each day even if its something small.
Started a savings account. Used to be what I had in my wallet was my life's savings, didn't think I earned enough to accumulate anything. I was wrong
Every week I write my weight on the giant whiteboard in the kitchen. I don't erase it, just keep the log running all year long, for anyone to see. It's an amazing motivator.
