Self-talk is a term that means the things we say to ourselves in our own heads. That's right, we talk to ourselves all the time! It's like having a conversation in your own mind. And just like any other conversation, the words we use can have a big impact on how we feel and what we do.

Stats show that most people have between 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day! That's a lot of self-talk. And research shows that about 80% of those thoughts are negative. Yikes! That's a lot of negativity in our own heads.

That's why it's so important to do positive self-talk. Positive self-talk means saying kind, encouraging, and uplifting things to yourself. It can help you feel better, be more confident, and tackle challenges with more ease.
