Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a self-reflection tool aimed at helping students identify and modify their inner dialogue to enhance their self-esteem and performance. Titled “My Self Talk,” the worksheet provides a structured format for students to introspect on the thoughts that may be impeding their success. The first question prompts students to write down any negative thoughts that they recognize as barriers to their achievements. Following this, the worksheet guides students to consider alternative, positive thoughts that could replace the negative ones, thereby fostering a mindset that feels good about doing their best.

Below these reflective questions, there is a large blank box that invites students to either draw or write about the outcomes they anticipate from employing positive self-talk. This creative space allows for visualization or detailed description, which can solidify the students’ commitment to changing their self-talk patterns. A graphic of a student in a meditative pose centers the theme of the worksheet, emphasizing mindfulness and the cultivation of inner peace. By providing a personal space for name-writing at the top, the worksheet becomes a private dialogue for the student, making the practice of positive self-talk a personal journey towards self-improvement and confidence-building.
