Quotes to ponder:
"Your words have power, and they’re always sending messages to others and to yourself."
"When you say 'I’m so bad at this,' your brain believes you. When you say 'I’m learning how to do this,' your brain believes that too."
"Small shifts in your self-talk can create massive changes in how you feel and how you show up in the world."
