I've already been practicing

Just had a flashback today.  I realized I've been using my power off and on, yet not realizing the extent of it.  For ages, when I've started to feel sick, I tell myself I'm not.  And I haven't been sick for a looooonnng time.  When I feel lousey, I tell myself I'm happy, and I am.  When I'm tired and still have things that have to be done, I tell myself I'm not tired, and I'm not tired.  (Don't worry, I don't do this when I drive.)  When I'm afraid, -----well, sometimes that one doesn't work.  I still believe there are lions on the back patio of the house where I grew up.  And it was a long-long walkway to the front door.  Maybe that's where I learned to run so fast!
