The statement that is true about positive self-talk is:
**It is encouraging rather than discouraging.**
Positive self-talk involves using affirming and supportive language towards oneself, which can boost confidence, motivation, and overall mental well-being. The other statements may have elements of truth but do not accurately capture the essence of positive self-talk. For instance, while speaking out loud can enhance its effects for some, it’s not a requirement for efficacy; positive self-talk can still be effective when practiced silently. Additionally, it is generally considered more effective than other methods that focus on negative perspectives.
