Self-talk has its value, but in the end, it's hard to lie to the subconscious.
The best way to develop "inner game" is through accomplishment.
Why do you think so many guys in our 30's are killing it? It's because we've actually accomplished things in life, and thus have some self-confidence and self-possession.
Go to the gym, put on some muscle, dress with style, wear sunscreen, take care of your skin to avoid wrinkles, get a good haircut....Suddenly you'll find the "inner game" appears without any pep talks. Why? Because so many girls will just start showing up that you'll know - as a matter of objective reality rather than subjective self-delusion - that you got game.
