Congrats, MB, on getting through all those interviews! You rock, of course, and we can all see that.

It sounds and seems natural, because it's typically put there inside our heads by parents and other caretakers, anyone who had a hand upbringing. I had toxic ideas in mine and I can pinpoint the type of behavior and language coming from various family members in my past. Namely, my mom and dad, grandmother and grandfather.
One amazing thing about sobriety is - we get to toss out whatever doesn't work and write our own mantras
