Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 101: Affirmations

Affirmations are positive self-talk statements you tell yourself to improve self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and to combat intrusive thoughts. Affirmations are used by deliberately and routinely focusing thoughts on something positive to reduce negative thoughts.
I like to help kids make flash cards on index cards to place somewhere they will see them often. They are used as a reminder to meditate on the positive self-talk statement to rescript thoughts.
