When I feel anxious I use my positive mantra to get me through a hard situation.

I say “Ride the wave, Will.” I know my feelings will rise up and then if I ride through, they will calm down.

Honestly, I was really looking forward to going to the St. Anthony’s Feast in the summer of 2022 with my best friend Jerry English because we planned that 2 weeks in advance. But unfortunately the day of the St. Anthony’s Feast Jerry ended up having Covid so didn’t end up going. So for my positive self talk, I took deep breaths and had Gelato from Trader Joe’s and that made me feel better. According to Disney and Pixar’s Luca You’re Never without me. The next time you jump off a cliff or tell Bruno to quit bothering you, that’s me.

When I am feeling nervous or apprehensive, I like to think of songs by some of my favorite bands like Train and Joan Jett. I tell myself to calm down and breathe and that everything will be ok. This is my way of dealing with a bad situation.

I trust myself to know if things aren’t right and I also know how to ask for help. This is my positive self talk anchor because I am responsible for myself and it’s part of my independence which is very important to me. If I am worried or nervous I take a few deep breaths and remember my positive self talk anchor.

My positive self talk anchor is Dory’s “Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming” because I love music. When I hear this song in my head it tells me to just do it! It helps to motivate me when I am having trouble with something.

Be greater and be yourself, With great power comes great responsibility. That quote taught me a lot about responsibilities, The hard thing about being a hero is you can’t always save everyone all the time, somethings can be perfect but not everything has to be perfect.

When I fail at something I tell my self I can do it and you got this. I found this quote from my favorite rapper Eminem - “Be proud of who you are”. I really like this quote because it reminds me to be Who I am and not compare myself to other people

Think about a positive self talk anchor that you can use when you face a stressor or failure. If you have one already, feel free to use it. If not, a really powerful self talk anchor can come from a movie or show in which the character famously uses the statement to overcome his/her challenges. If you use a movie, story or show, try to include a picture. Using a movie, story or show can create a permanent memory that you can pull up instantly in any situation.
