Effective self-talk is characterized by​

A) ​generalizing your behavior in affirming statements that include all changes you want to make,even if they seem impossible.
B) describing the end results you want to achieve,such as knowing all of the procedures after studying a manual.​
C) using counterproductive words to help reinforce results you want to avoid.​
D) not repeating an affirming statement,since this may cause you to lose sight of your goal attainment.​

Effective self-talk involves describing the end results you want to achieve. This helps to focus your mind towards achieving your goals and can be a positive influence on behavior. Generalizing behavior in affirming statements that include all changes you want to make may not be effective as it can lead to overwhelm or a lack of specificity. Using counterproductive words can also be harmful to your self-talk and can reinforce negative behaviors. Not repeating affirming statements can cause you to lose sight of your goals, as repetition helps to solidify positive thoughts and behaviors.
