Writing exercise 1

Think of a moment when you talked to yourself—maybe before a test, during a game, or while doing homework.

Write a short paragraph (5–7 sentences) about: 

1. What was happening?

2. What did you say to yourself?

3. How did it make you feel?

Example:

"I was nervous before my math test. I told myself, 'You studied hard, you can do this.' I felt a little better and tried my best."

Writing exercise 2

1. Write down one thing you sometimes say to yourself when you’re upset or frustrated (like “I’m bad at this”).

2. Now, change that sentence to something more kind and helpful (like “I’m still learning, and that’s okay”).

3. Write both versions and explain which one makes you feel better and why.

Example:

Bad: "I'm never going to get this right."

Better: "I need more practice, but I’ll get it soon!"

"I feel more confident with the better version."

Writing exercise 3

Goal: Try talking about yourself from the outside like you’re your own friend.

Instructions:

1. Think of a time you were worried or had a problem.

2. Pretend you’re giving advice to a friend (which is actually you!).

Write a short paragraph using your name, like:

“Emma felt really nervous before her soccer game. But she practiced a lot and just needed to believe in herself. She reminded herself to have fun, not be perfect.”
