When negative thoughts fill your head, you can shift the story. It’s called coaching yourself up, talking to yourself the way you’d talk to a friend. Because how you speak to yourself shapes how you show up, in your friendships, your future, and your own sense of worth. Learning to coach yourself up builds inner strength, resilience, and self-awareness.
