d. relying on others for motivation

a supportive relationship is valuable because:

d. it ensures you never face challenges

Explanation:

First Question (Positive self - talk focuses on):

• Option a: Positive self - talk is about motivating and encouraging oneself, especially during difficult times or challenges.
• Option b: Avoiding all criticism is not what positive self - talk is about. Constructive criticism can be useful, and positive self - talk is more about self - encouragement rather than avoiding all criticism.
• Option c: Dwelling on mistakes is negative self - talk, as it focuses on the negative aspects rather than positive growth or encouragement.
• Option d: Positive self - talk is self - generated motivation, not relying on others for motivation.

• Option a: A supportive relationship cannot solve all problems. There are many problems that require individual effort or other external factors to solve.
• Option b: A supportive relationship provides emotional strength (like having someone to talk to, get comfort from) and perspective (someone to offer different viewpoints on a situation).
• Option c: Stress is a part of life, and a supportive relationship cannot prevent stress from happening. It can only help in coping with stress.
• Option d: Challenges are an inevitable part of life, and a supportive relationship cannot ensure that one never faces challenges.

a. Encouraging yourself during challenges
