I just came across a hilarious method of fixing your mindset when you think a girl is "out of your league":

"Does that girl seem out of your league? Picture her taking a shit. It puts her right back on your level."

LOL

PUAs have used a similar method for years and years to get into sexual state by picturing having sex with the women they're talking to, but those still struggling a little with stuff like approach anxiety and low confidence might benefit from this quick little trick haha

It is similar to trying to look for imperfections. One good looking girl I hang out with regularly burps like a sailor. I love it.

That's a good mental trick to get rid of that mental block if you always keep telling yourself that you don't measure up to the girls you find. But if this block has a deeper root you might want to address that. Why is she out of your league? What puts you below her league? And can you do something about it? How do you think she would react if you approached her right now anyway? And would you be able to handle it? If you decide that approaching her is something completely impossible to do right now because of your shortcomings, you should just go and try to address them first. If you think those shortcomings are completely irredeemable and inseparable from you, you might have a severe lack of self-esteem and need help from others - but that's hardly the case. In each of these three cases something is done about these issues, instead of just letting the inevitable confrontations be postponed.

You raise a great point.

These "neat little tricks" may help in the short term, but it's always better to address the underlying issues. And sometimes just slapping on a little bandaid to cover up a deep wound just isn't going to cut it.

Be direct with her. No need to picture her taking a dump, just get your confidence up by getting used to approaching hot women, go up to her and say what you have to say straightforwardly.

Speaking as a coach, that's easier said than done for the majority of the people who come to this site.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're not taking into account how useful your advice would actually be to your audience.

Almost every piece of dating advice that starts with "just" like "just be yourself" or even your "just get your confidence up by getting used to approaching hot women" tends to be nearly impossible to follow for your average dude trying to get better at this stuff. They need smaller action steps so sometimes these cute little gimmicks can come in handy as long as they don't become dependent on them as a substitute for habitual risk-taking.
