Purpose of the Positive Thinking Challenge

Through various content types and actionable instruction—including articles, fun “Myth or Fact” quiz flows, and action to-do’s—the user will gain the tools and techniques to improve their internal dialogue (self-talk) through practicing positive affirmations, self-reflection, and the correction of negative self-talk patterns.

Benefits of Completing the Challenge

Users who complete this challenge will recognize their own personal patterns of negative self-talk which may be inhibiting them in life or preventing them from reaching their full potential. As the user recognizes their own negative thoughts and thought patterns, they can begin replacing them with positive, optimistic, and empowering thoughts and thought patterns.
