Positive Self-Talk

Negative self-talk is when what your inner voice says is very negative. It’s often repetitive and
not based in reality. One way to help is to reframe negative thoughts in a positive way. Here’s
an example:
I’m a bad person. I’m a good person who made a mistake.
Take the sentences in the negative column and turn them into something positive. Then, list
some of your own negative thoughts and come up with a positive reframe.

Negative Self-Talk Positive Self-Talk

I’m not going to get any better than this.

No one likes me.

I can’t seem to get anything right.

When you show self-love, you take care

Loving of your needs, are kind to yourself, and
do what’s best for you. That might mean
practicing positive self-talk or self-care. It
could also mean setting boundaries with

Myself
other people. Use the hearts to brainstorm
ways you can show love for yourself.
