A Brighter Outlook

Worksheet Description

This colorful worksheet is designed to instill a positive mindset in students through the exercise of self-affirmation. It features four identical sections, each adorned with a vibrant illustration of a smiling sun wearing cool sunglasses, which frames the space for writing. The top of each section has the prompt “I am,” encouraging students to begin a statement of self-identity or belief. Below each affirmation space, there’s a follow-up prompt, “I know it’s true because,” which asks students to provide evidence or reasoning that supports their positive statement. This two-step process not only helps students affirm positive thoughts about themselves but also reinforces these thoughts with concrete reasons, promoting a stronger sense of self-confidence and self-assurance.

The worksheet is thoughtfully laid out with ample space for students to write their affirmations and their supporting statements. It allows for repetition of the exercise, enabling the reinforcement of positive self-talk. The cheerful sun illustrations serve as a metaphorical reminder of the brightness and positivity that self-affirmations can bring to one’s life.
