4. SELF-TALK

CHORUS
Self-talk, self-talk---when I talk to myself, I'll be positive and kind.
Self-talk, self-talk---when I talk to myself, I'll be positive and kind.

1
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I can do it!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I can do it!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I can do it!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I can do it!" CHORUS

2
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll do better next time!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll do better next time!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll do better next time!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll do better next time!" CHORUS

3
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I've learned a lot!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I've learned a lot!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I've learned a lot!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I've learned a lot!" CHORUS

4
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll learn more!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll learn more!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll learn more!"
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I'll learn more!" CHORUS, AND REPEAT VERSE 1

OTHER POSSIBLE "ZIPPER" VERSES (CAN ELICIT MORE FROM SINGERS):
When I talk to myself, I'll say, "I belong!"
“I can name my feelings!”
“I can own my feelings!”
“I’ll deal with my feelings!”
"I like myself!"

"I am unique!"
"I am loved!"
"I believe in me!"
"I'm drug-free!"
