现在时I tell myself（habitual thinking,I think this every day）
.Every morning, I tell myself, Today I'm going to exercise.

过去时，过去一段时间反复的心态，现在可能改变
.For years, I told myself I didn't have time to learn a language.

⭐️I say to myself叙述故事时过去时开篇，现在时描述当时心境
.This guy was yelling at everyone, so I say to myself, Stay calm. It's going to be fine.

.Everyone was running every which way, and I say to myself, What is going on here? And then this person is screaming, sirens are blaring...

we report speech or narrate speech and thoughts in order to draw the Listeners of the story.
1.I said to myself. (I thought)口语化，脑海自然浮现的念头
ex:
.When I found out my mom was visiting, I said to myself, I need to clean my house!
.When I saw her car was gone, I said to myself, I wonder where she went.
.As soon as I found out, I said to myself, ‘This is gonna be so fun!

2.I told myself (I motivated myself)有意识
: it's slightly more formal and it's not quite as conversational .
ex:
. Before the race, I told myself, You can do this.
. This year, I told myself, things will be different.
· I told myself to stay calm even though it was stressful.
·I told myself I deserved a break, so I took the afternoon off.

✓⭐️一
(encouragement)
.Before the presentation, I told myself, Don't panic. You're prepared.
(resolution)
.This year, I told myself I would wake up earlier.
(promise)
.I told myself I needed to be more organized.
✓⭐️遗憾(regret,hindsight,)
when you look back and you wish you had listened to your inner voice.

.I told myself not to trust him, but I ignored it. Now look what happened.
.I told myself to double-check the address, but I was in a rush. Now I'm lost.
.I told myself to turn off the stove, but I forgot and had to call my kid to do it.
