Here’s a short thread about the expression «have a word with»: Can I have a word with you in private?
The gist is, to have a word with means to have a discussion, often a brief discussion. I have never seen «have a word with yourself.» I would have guessed it would mean have a discussion with yourself, but as others are saying, this author apparently wanted it to mean remind yourself. I don’t really approve of this usage.
