Kendall Jenner: "This Trick Stopped My Negative Self-Talk" (You Can Do It Too)
In a Nutshell
Kendall Jenner stopped her negative self-talk by placing a childhood photo on her bathroom mirror, using it to interrupt self-criticism by reminding herself she's speaking to that inner child. She set boundaries around overworking at age 23, prioritizing happiness over external validation, and now practices self-affirmation and steps away when overwhelmed rather than reacting. Her core message is that everyone experiences similar internal struggles regardless of fame or success, and the path to peace comes from focusing on self-perception over others' opinions while building genuine relationships.

Kendall Jenner manifested this conversation after seeing Jay at Sime and Hayes's house a couple of months prior. A few weeks later, she told her social media manager she would love to talk to Jay. Jay reached out directly, which felt like perfect timing and trusting the universe rather than forcing anything.
Jay had been wanting to sit down with Kendall for a long time, having seen her speak openly and vulnerably about mental health in Vogue and other segments. Jay avoids asking friends of friends without meeting someone directly, so she gathered courage to reach out personally rather than through a PR connection.
Kendall admires Michael Pollan, Michael Singer, and Wim Hof, placing Jay in that category of people with significant curiosity, determination, and patience. She views these qualities as a gift and is working on developing more patience and determination in her own life. Jay feels the same way about Kendall, particularly appreciating her courage to talk about mental health and use her platform to open dialogues.
Kendall loves working on herself and finds comfort and joy in identifying areas for improvement, whether physical health, workouts, or trying new practices like cold plunges and ice baths. She recently purchased a cold plunge at home and did one right before the interview.
Kendall is conscious of not wanting to create a pity party when sharing about mental health. Her goal is to connect with people and share practical tips like running, walking outside, taking deep breaths, and journaling. She wants to be helpful and share techniques that create positive learning experiences rather than negative feelings.
