What we tell ourselves reinforces our self-esteem and can be either positive or negative. It’s important to help our students build a positive mindset. Our mindsets becomes our belief systems about ourselves and if we work at telling ourselves positive affirmations, we are helping ourselves to become more confident when others may try to tear us down. Sometimes we need to preprogram our mindset. Using affirmations helps to do that. If we keep telling ourselves something, we will believe it to be true. I did a [lesson](https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Affirmations-Positive-Self-Talk-Lesson-3645670) where I taught my girls’ group how to write their own affirmations. We started with “I” or “Me” added a verb in the present tense and then added some additional positive words. [![](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hLIYqsIcrm4/WoJGn_b7DBI/AAAAAAAAGFE/7clipJYU_C0oO5rLTeQROnYh-wARERH6gCLcBGAs/s400/Slide2.png)](https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Affirmations-Positive-Self-Talk-Lesson-3645670) Affirmations should be positive, should stay in the present tense, and should take a positive thought and make it positive. Try to stay away from words like “will” or “am going to”. These signify things in the future and doesn’t focus on where one is now. Keeping affirmations in the present also helps keeps individuals motivated towards their goals.

I like to tell my students to put them in their binders, tape them on their mirrors at home, post them near their beds, or I will leave them randomly around the school. I also made an Affirmations Jar in my office. Kids can take one whenever they need a little pick me up.
