The Self-Support Statement: Strengthening Self-Trust and Inner Reassurance
This worksheet helps you cultivate an internal source of reassurance by identifying how you already support yourself and turning that awareness into a clear, empowering self-support statement. When spoken aloud, this statement becomes a grounding reminder that you can rely on your own strength, compassion, and resilience—especially during moments of doubt or uncertainty.
How to Use This Worksheet
Begin by reflecting on the ways you show up for yourself—through rest, encouragement, boundaries, or perseverance. Use the prompts to bring these actions together into one supportive, truthful sentence. Say the statement out loud three times, placing a hand on your chest to anchor it somatically. Notice how your voice feels and reflect on how deeply believing this statement would shift your emotional experience.
Who It’s For
This worksheet is for individuals who rely heavily on external validation, struggle with self-doubt, or feel unsupported during stressful moments. It is also ideal for people working on inner child healing, emotional independence, or confidence-building practices.
Expected Outcomes
• Increased awareness of how you already support yourself
