Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough” or “What if I fail?” That’s self-talk—the internal dialogue running in our minds. Psychology says that the way we talk to ourselves shapes our reality. Negative self-talk can drain confidence, while positive self-talk boosts resilience. Here are three tips to master self-talk: Recognize the Pattern: Notice when your inner voice turns negative. Awareness is the first step to change. Reframe Your Thoughts: Instead of saying, “I can’t do this,” say, “I’ll try my best and learn from the process.” Practice Affirmations: Simple phrases like “I am capable,” or “I grow through challenges” can rewire your mindset over time. Remember, you are the author of your story. Speak kindly to yourself—you’re always listening.
