Positive Qualities

Worksheet Description

This Positive Affirmation worksheet is designed to help students recognize and remember their personal strengths, especially during challenging times. The worksheet lists a variety of positive attributes such as “funny,” “kind,” “resilient,” “intelligent,” and “confident,” among others. Students are instructed to circle all of the listed qualities that they believe they possess. This action serves to affirm the students’ self-worth by acknowledging their own positive traits. At the bottom of the sheet, there are spaces for students to write three personalized affirmations using the qualities they’ve selected, which can serve as powerful reminders to stay positive when facing anxiety or depression.

By identifying with positive descriptors, students are encouraged to focus on their strengths and to use these affirmations as tools to combat negative thoughts. This worksheet not only aids in building self-esteem but also serves as a practical exercise for students to apply positive thinking in their daily lives. The worksheet can be a standalone activity or part of a larger lesson on self-care and emotional well-being.
