 negative thoughts & positive thoughts
arrow
Think of certain subjects you are anxious about and listen to what your inner voice (your Voice of Judgement) has to say about you. (Examples: "My mind becomes confused when confronted with a math problem" or "I’m the type of person who can barely change a light bulb, let alone operate a microscope." "I’m not as good as other people at foreign languages.")

Write down four of these fears in the spaces below:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Now try to replace these negative thoughts with positive self-talk. (Examples: "I can solve math problems when I approach them deliberately and calmly" of "Just as I’ve learned basketball in the past, I can learn a foreign language.")

Write down four positive solutions here:

1.

2.

3.

4.
