Say Something

Worksheet Description

This worksheet, titled “Positive Self Talk,” is a self-help exercise designed to aid students in developing resilience through constructive inner dialogue. The layout is simple and purposeful, with a clear directive at the top: to think of something positive to say to oneself in various challenging situations. Each of the five scenarios listed is a common difficulty that students might face, such as not succeeding in a tryout, performing poorly on a test, experiencing betrayal by a friend, trying something new, or facing delays in achieving a goal.

Students are provided with lined spaces corresponding to each scenario to write down affirmative statements that could reframe their perspective and encourage a more optimistic outlook. This exercise not only promotes emotional intelligence but also equips students with the tools to cope with disappointment and setbacks in a healthy way. By actively engaging in positive self-talk, students can learn to nurture a supportive inner voice, boosting their confidence and self-compassion. The worksheet encourages introspection and personal growth, making it a valuable resource for educators and counselors focused on developing students’ emotional well-being.
