Answer to Question 1

Predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors.

Answer to Question 2

Positive self-talk can improve self-esteem and eliminate the chronic, nagging stress that destroys people from the inside out. Your thoughts generate your feelings. Thinking negative thoughts about yourself affects your self-esteem. The results are negative, stress-producing emotions such as guilt, anger, anxiety, and fear. Conversely, thinking positively about these learning experiences affects your self-esteem similarly, but in a positive way. As a result, your stress-reducing emotions are positive, including happiness, peace of mind, confidence, and self-control. Mental health professionals promote the conscious use of positive self-talk as a powerful force for changing the way individuals think, feel, and act.
