Sometimes, you need a pep talk, especially when facing something scary, like getting up for work.
I think of Emma, a little girl about to swim for the first time. She said, 'Let's do this, Emma. I'm brave. I'm really brave! Don't worry, don't worry. I got it! I got to do my best. I'm brave! See? That's not hard!'
Her words remind me of the pep talks I give myself at work: 'I can do this. It's gonna be okay. We can do this!'
We all need those moments of self-encouragement. Just telling ourselves we're brave can make a big difference.
