Your Thoughts Matter: The Workbook

Your Thoughts Matter is a guided workbook designed to help you notice, understand, and gently shift negative thought patterns into more supportive and encouraging language. Through reflection and practical exercises, it offers tools to calm racing thoughts and build greater self-compassion.

This workbook is designed for teens, young adults, or anyone looking to strengthen emotional resilience and develop a healthier relationship with their thoughts. It can be used independently and at your own pace.

What This Workbook Supports

This workbook helps you:

• Identify negative thoughts and recognize how they show up in daily life

• Understand where those thoughts may come from and why they persist

• Learn tools to calm racing or overwhelming thoughts

• Practice reframing negative thinking into supportive self-talk

• Build awareness and confidence through consistent reflection

Each section builds gradually, helping you move from awareness to understanding and encouragement.

What’s Inside

This workbook includes four guided sections:

1. An Introduction to Negative Thoughts – understanding what negative thoughts are and how they form

2. Shifting Your Thoughts – identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns

3. Calming Racing Thoughts – mindfulness-based practices to regain focus and emotional balance

4. From Negative Thoughts to Encouragement – a 15-day tracker to notice, evaluate, and rewrite thoughts into supportive language

All exercises are clearly guided so you always know what to do next.

A Note from Francesca

When I created Your Thoughts Matter, I wanted a practical tool that helps people take control of their inner dialogue. Negative thoughts can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to define your day or your life.

This workbook offers gentle ways to notice, calm, and reframe your thinking — turning self-doubt into self-encouragement and helping you feel more grounded, confident, and hopeful.

With compassion,

Francesca
