How Self-Talk Can Help You Get Better at a New Skill

Many people think that the only way to get better at something is to keep practicing it over and over again. Well according to an article by Agata Blaszczak-Boxe on HuffingtonPost.com, studies show that self-talk can help people improve their skills. For example people who tell themselves "I will do better next time" usually end up seeing better results on their next attempt. In addition to self-talk, the article also discusses how imagining yourself doing better at an activity can also help you get better at that activity.
