Example

Aaron used to beat himself up for every mistake, even minor ones. After a tough breakup, he started practicing positive self-talk — literally rewriting the script in his head. “I’m doing my best,” “It’s okay to be learning,” and “This doesn’t define me” became regular refrains. He taped sticky notes on his bathroom mirror and set reminders on his phone. It took time, but eventually the voice in his head got kinder, and it changed how he showed up everywhere else too.
