3 ways to talk yourself up
Here are some ways to help change the direction of your self-talk:

Listen to what you’re saying to yourself. 
Notice what your inner voice is saying.
Is your self-talk mostly positive or negative?
Each day, make notes on what you’re thinking.

2. Challenge your self-talk. 
Ask yourself things like:
Is there actual evidence for what I’m thinking?
What would I say if a friend were in a similar situation?
Can I do anything to change what I’m feeling bad about?

3. Change your self-talk. 
Make a list of the positive things about yourself. 
Instead of saying: ‘I’ll never be able to do this’, try:  ‘Is there anything I can do that will help me do this?’
