I've stopped telling myself things like...
I don't like being alone.
I'm scared to take on debt for medical school.
I won't be a good mom.
And replaced them with...
Solitude can be refreshing.
The debt will be manageable and worth it.
I may be a little crazy and nerdy, but that will only make motherhood more interesting.
Life is easier when you cease to be the source of your own stress.

i like the last line of your post a lot. it's going to become my new mantra!
Thank you for sharing! Those are all good replacements. And the last line is such a good reminder to me, too. :)
(By the way, I've always thought you'd be a great mom anyway. And I definitely know about the rephrasing the debt thing--extended schooling is scary sometimes, but I believe it's worth it, too.) :)
You will be an amazing Mom - I can remember when I wondered the same thing but Dad had faith in me and when it happened it was the most natural thing I have ever done.
