I've read pretty much everything on powertalk i could find. I understand what it is and what is it's purpose, but i can't think of good examples of it. Also, i don't know how to start learning it.

Also, how can one even generate powertalk in live conversation? For me, it seems that i could only do it in virtual conversations like email, so i have time to think about every word and meanings behind it.

Edit: i can also think of examples when powertalk is used between two people so others can not understand what are those two talking about. Simple example: two friends want to talk about how they will smoke weed later, but there is parents in the room. Guy 1: let's drink some tea while watching a movie. Guys2: i'm not thirsty now. let's drink it before bed, it helps me to relax and sleep.

I'm just starting to study this so let me know if my example is not even considered powertalk.
