Day 8 – Practice Positive Self-Talk

[Greeting]

Welcome to day 8 of the Stress Management Challenge. We are kicking off this 
second week by improving your mindset with positive self-talk. This is going to help you 
with your stress management, boosting self-esteem, and so much more.

Self-talk, the internal dialogue that runs through your mind, can have a significant 
impact on your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. When practiced in a 
positive and constructive manner, self-talk can be a powerful tool for boosting self-
esteem, building resilience, and improving overall mindset.

Positive self-talk involves using kind, encouraging, and supportive words when speaking 
to yourself. It's about being your own cheerleader, rather than a harsh critic. 

Write Down What You Love About Yourself

Today, your assignment is to write down at least 10 things you love about yourself. They 
can be about your talents and skills, your accomplishments, your personality, your 
looks, anything you can think of! 

After writing them down, speak them to yourself all day long. For example:

“I am so beautiful and charming.”
“I always finish what I start.”
“I am so proud of how much I have accomplished.”
“I am such a good friend.”

Repeat this all day long in your mind, as many of your 10 items as you can remember.

If you find that you talk mostly negative to yourself, then today’s activity is for you.
