Turning Around Negatives

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a transformational tool designed to help students convert negative thoughts into positive affirmations. At the top, it provides a space for the student to write their name, establishing a personal connection to the activity. The instructions are clear: students should not complete the negative statements listed but rather turn each into a positive affirmation. The worksheet lists common negative starters such as “I can’t,” “I won’t,” “I shouldn’t,” “I will never,” “I’m not sure,” and “I don’t.”

The exercise aims to teach students the power of positive thinking and the impact of words on mindset and attitude. By actively engaging in the process of rewording negative statements into positive ones, students learn to shift their internal dialogues to be more supportive and empowering. The inclusion of a small, contemplative character illustration near the title adds a playful element and may help students relate to the task as they consider their own thoughts and feelings. This worksheet can serve as a valuable resource in educational settings, promoting resilience, self-compassion, and a positive outlook.
