What I say when I talk to myself

I think talking to yourself is a valuable tool as something you can do to love and support yourself.  But I have to remember to keep it realistic.

So, I do a validity check on that negative stuff - is it true?  "Maybe you aren't where you want to be today, but you are getting there.  This is hard, but just keep trying.  Give yourself some credit for what you can do and how far you have already come."  Will things be hard sometimes?  Yes, but there's a every possibility things will work out.  So I can keep that in mind while I talk to myself.
