Have your back
Positive self-talk helps rewire the stories in your headBeing kind in the way you talk to yourself strengthens the inner voice that keeps you steady when things get hard. Self-talk shapes how you interpret setbacks: a harsh voice shuts you down, while a supportive one helps you stay curious and keep going. Calm, encouraging self-talk can weaken unhelpful narratives and make confidence and resilience easier to access.
People who speak to themselves the way they’d speak to a friend stay committed longer because they’re not wasting energy fighting their own self-doubt. When you have your own back, your thoughts stop working against you and start working with you.
