What is the theory behind this Negative self-talk worksheet?
The ancient teachings of the Buddha, which indicate that all we are as humans is a product of the thoughts we have inside conveyed, so, as a result, we are formed by these thoughts, are the source of the significance of self-talk as a method of regulated thinking.
Self-talk is frequently employed for performance improvement in sports, academic engagement, and to treat anxiety or depression in a clinic since it positively affects attention and mood regulation. While self-talk with negative content is linked to emotional unwell-being, self-talk with positive content can aid in promoting positive psychological states and regulating cognitions.
