How Self-Talk Shapes Outcomes

Situation	Negative Self-Talk	Constructive Self-Talk
Exam	“I will fail”	“I will do my best”
New Task	“I can’t do this”	“I can learn this”
Failure	“I am not capable”	“I will improve”

Same situation… different thinking… completely different results.

How to Change Your Self-Talk

1. Notice Your Thoughts

The first step is awareness. Pay attention to the thoughts that repeat in your mind.

When you hear “I can’t”… pause and observe it.

2. Interrupt the Pattern

Do not let negative thoughts run automatically. Question them:

• Is this thought true?
• Is it helping me?

3. Replace with a Useful Thought

Shift from negative to constructive thinking.

• “I can’t do this” → “I can learn this step by step”
• “I will fail” → “I will try and improve”

During the Day

When a negative thought appears:
