Self-Talk and Thought Habits Worksheets

What do you think and tell yourself everyday?

Consciously or not, our self-talk can indicate our mindset, set the tone for our experiences, and influence our mood, motivation, and performance.

By exploring our self-talk, we can notice unhelpful thought habits and make adjustments to feel and perform better.
