, they were instructed how to convert negative self-talk about a sensation into positive self-talk. For example, if initially they thought “this is tiring,” they were taught to tell themselves “I can do this” or “you can do this.”
Noel Brick, Ph.D., a leading researcher on endurance psychology, said that this from-the-balcony vantage point is called “self-distancing.” It can be really effective, Brick said, “when we perform tasks that require willpower and self-control. In effect, we take a step back mentally from what we ourselves are experiencing and take the perspective of a supportive onlooker.”
Although overall the group performed better when using second-person self-talk, three of the 16 subjects didn’t ride faster when calling themselves “you.” The researchers playfully point out that people who score high for narcissism tend to use more first-person pronouns than most people, and “as the first-person perspective is more central to them,” they might not benefit from the self-distancing perspective.
