I think self talk is one of the most underrated tools in our personal growth arsenal.
A lot what we say affects our physiology (https://psychcentral.com/blog/words-can-change-your-brain-2/) (https://www.td.org/insights/how-words-affect-our-brains).
In the moment of failure, when you have no one else to cheer you on, that's where YOU need to talk to yourself for a moment. That's where you need to be your own cheerleader. Your self talk in the middle of those moments are what can help you persevere through the most challenging of times.
