Converting The Negatives

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an empowering tool for students, designed to help them transform negative thoughts into positive ones. Entitled “Positive Self Talk,” it features two columns where students can engage in the cognitive behavioral technique of reframing. On the left, students are prompted to write down their negative thoughts, and on the right, they are instructed to reframe these thoughts into positive affirmations. This exercise aims to encourage students to recognize negative patterns in their thinking and to actively convert them into positive, self-affirming statements.

The design of the worksheet is visually engaging, with arrows pointing from the negative to the positive column, symbolizing the process of moving from negative to positive thinking. The top of the worksheet is brightly decorated with a heart and puzzle pieces graphic, which adds an element of warmth and positivity to the task. A space for the student’s name at the top personalizes the worksheet, making the experience of positive self-talk uniquely their own. By completing this worksheet, students practice the habit of mindful positivity, which can improve their mental well-being and self-esteem. It’s a practical resource for educators and counselors to use in teaching students the power of positive thinking.
