Yeah, those help me too, especially visualizing myself doing something I want to do succesfully, so I have that mental picture cemented in my mind. I also have given "meaning" to certain objects at work and at home that I use as symbolic reminders that I don't have to live up to my worst fears, and that I've successfully done what I've wanted to do before. For some reason, I'm rarely encouraged by my past successes -- I have a tendency to tell myself that failures point to flaws in my character but that successes must be constantly proven again and again in order for them to count. (I'm guessing this is what Beebe means by the "bad parent" function, and for ISFPs that would be introverted Sensing.)
