Reframing thoughts activity for school staff

This resource is also available in Welsh.

We all have negative thoughts and may get into patterns of negative thinking.

In challenging times, these may occur more frequently, and it is easy to be self-critical and focus on the negative thoughts. Sometimes we might catastrophise a situation, making it seem worse than it really is, or we might blame ourselves for things out of our control.

Recognising these thoughts and re-framing them is a way of training our brain reduce anxiety and over-thinking.
