Say This, Not That (to Yourself)

If your inner voice has become a nonstop inner critic, try reframing the conversation.
Don’t say this:
I can’t do this. It’s hopeless.
Say that:
I’ll give it my best shot.
Don’t say this:
I can’t believe I messed that up.
Say that:
I’m human. I made a mistake, but I can fix it.
Don’t say this:
This will never get better.
Say that:
I’ll get through this. One day at a time.
Don’t say this:
I hate when this happens.
Say that:
I’ve handled this before. I can do it again.
