direct reflection of your mindset. If you are telling

yourself “I am not good enough to achieve my

and your mindset will hold you back from having

the life you want. To upgrade your mindset,

change your negative self-talk to an

TALK empowerment speech by telling yourself “I can do

this” or “I got this”, really works.

Putting yourself in challenging situations where

you have no other choice than to rise to the

occasion and upgrade your mindset is also a

really helpful strategy. So maybe asking yourself
