Lesson Overview
1.4 – Positive Self-Talk for Academic Confidence: Notice harsh thoughts and write a kinder version beside them. Use present-tense phrases like “I am learning faster each week.” Pair self-talk with action, such as starting a five-minute read. Create a short mantra you can repeat before class or tests. Record your voice saying encouraging lines and play them daily. Replace general praise with specific feedback you believe. Tie self-talk to routines like opening your laptop or planner. Avoid absolute words like “always” and “never” when you reflect. Practice gratitude for one skill you used today. End each study session by saying what went well and why.
