One of the things he reported doing as he was trying to navigate this terrifying moment where this fire is raging and might spell the end of him and his fellow cosmonauts is he starts coaching himself through the problem using his name and you. So he starts using distant self-talk. in, in a moment of heightened stress.

And there are lots of illustrations of this, um, few Wimbledon's ago, uh, Jovovic when he was, um, early on during the tournament was getting, uh, getting beat pretty badly by, um, by an opponent, he takes a break, goes to the bathroom and comes out of the bathroom and he's just like a bat out of hell. And he like demolishes his opponent wins.

I think he went on to win the entire tournament after that. And after the, after the match, someone asked him, Hey, you know, like what happened in the bathroom? Um, when he took a break and he's like, I coached myself through the problem. I gave myself advice. I said, you can do it. The match isn't over. You got this.

It was like textbook case of using this tool to coach himself through the problem. Tons of examples of this. Malala Yousafzai talking about dealing with the threat of the Taliban reported doing this too.

Well, I love that. It's a perfect illustration. And it does seem on the one hand, yeah, but we're talking to ourself. But let's think about for a moment the things we sometimes say to ourself when we're struggling. We say things to ourself. We think things about ourself that we would never dare offer to another human being, let alone someone we want to succeed. My buddy comes to me.

My daughters come to me. My wife comes to me with a problem. Like, I'm giving them the most constructive advice I possibly can. It doesn't mean I'm always being unrealistic with them and telling them, but I'm trying to always support them to the best extent possible.

You suck. Why even? I would never do that. Yet. Oftentimes, lots of people default to doing that with themselves. And so by switching the pronouns that we're using to refer to ourselves and using our name even, it's automatically putting us into this more constructive advice giving mode. And it's a simple thing to do. It's what I love about so many of these tools. If you know what they are, boom.
