3. 3 Ways to improve talk to yourself up
1)Listen to what you’re saying to yourself.
Notice what your inner voice is saying. Is your
self-talk mostly positive or negative? Each
day, make notes on what you’re thinking.
2. Challenge your self-talk. Ask yourself things
like: Is there actual evidence for what I’m
thinking?What would I say if a friend were in a
similar situation? Can I do anything to change
what I’m feeling bad about?
3. Change your self-talk. Make a list of the
positive things about yourself. Instead of
saying: ‘I’ll never be able to do this’, try: ‘Is
there anything I can do that will help me do
this?’
A good rule of thumb is to speak to
yourself in the same way that you’d
speak to your mates.

Mindful
Music

whole mind and body into something you enjoy simply for its own s

of the present moment rather than darting back and forth between
future worries and past mistakes. .
Single-tasking is the ultimate form of relaxation
you could become more mindful simply by spending a
few minutes every afternoon listening to your favourite music
Cue up two or three of your favorite songs on
your phone or computer.
Put on some nice headphones.
Close your eyes and start the music.

9. Text
Someone
You Love
For No
Reason
We tend to feel better when we get outside our own heads and do
something for others. But being kind and generous to other people
doesn’t have to be a monumental act of charity and self-sacrifice.
It can be quite small and still meaningful.
Make a list of 5–10 people whom you love and care about.
Set a recurring daily reminder on your phone for any time
you like.When the reminder goes off each day, take 30
seconds and text the first person on your list. It could be
anything from a heartfelt message of love or admiration to
a silly gif.
Work your way down the list, texting a new person on the
list each day.
Random acts of kindness are a great way to improve not
only the quality of your relationships but also your own
mood and emotional life.
In 30 seconds, with almost zero effort, you can improve
your mood and make someone else’s day.
