WATCH: Little girl gives herself pep talk to jump into water

Sometimes, you just need a little time, encouragement and a few affirmations to overcome your fear.

Marli Sayler recently shared a video with Storyful of her daughter Bella doing just that in late June as she worked up the courage to take a jump off her family's dock in Lake Poinsett, South Dakota.

As Bella stands at the end of the dock, her mom cheers, "You can do it!" and "Bella, I know you can!"
