Extricating certain words, thoughts, beliefs, and expectations from one's brain and replacing them with other words, thoughts, beliefs, and/or expectations by writing them, reading them, recording them, playing them back, thinking about them and practicing them.

Gradually, I realized that I could replace the negative words, thoughts, beliefs, and expectations with correct and better ones. I call that process self-brainwashing.

Based on the quantity of a specific thing or things, such as fruits, shoes, whatever, are available in a town, how desirable each is to people varies depending on how many they have to choose from.
