There is also something to be said for 'faking it until you make it', i.e. until you convince even yourself. Self-talk can lead us down the anxiety/depression rabbit hole and it can help get us back out of it too.
Agreed. In my worst of times it has helped me to put motivational reminders around my house...such as one on the ceiling or wall reminding me I can get out of bed or a funny meme on the inside of my door to make me laugh before I leave the house.
