What is something YOU do to make yourself feel better??
Self Talk can either harm or help you! If your Self Talk is Negative and Unhelpful- a FIXED MINDSET, then it can be harmful and stop you from progressing or changing, whereas Helpful Positive Self Talk is working with a GROWTH MINDSET, where you allow yourself to build, develop and grow into a more resilient, happy person. Your INNER belief effects what you can and can’t do. To CHANGE some of those Negative Fixed Mindset ideas try asking yourself questions like: ‘Is that really true? What is another way to think of that? Can I have a go? What strategies can I use?Am I exaggerating? How can I solve this?’ They will lead to a GROWTH MINDSET, more learning and a better outcomes.
Following are some ‘Growth Mindset Self Talk,’ suggested by the students, to help manage our emotions:
We all talk to ourselves in our head all day, but often will catch ourselves saying negative things. Try some of the following Self Talk to help you stay on an even keel:
I am a good person
I am going to have a great day
It won’t last forever
I’ll feel better tomorrow
I have some great friends
My family love me
I can ask for help
I can keep trying
Don’t give up
Tomorrow will be a great day
Get over yourself!!
I’ll take some deep breaths and I’ll feel better
I can do it
Everything will be OK soon
I have the courage to have a go
I can walk away
I can go and do something I like
I’ll have a drink of water
What strategy can I use to help?
Is there another way to look at this?
What are some things YOU say to yourself to make you feel better?? Change those NEGATIVE thought patterns (Fixed Mindset) into POSITIVE (Growth Mindset) ones! You will feel much better if you do!
Remember: If you THINK you CAN, you CAN. If you THINK you CAN’T, then you CAN’T!!
