The main objective of this research is to reduce students' anxiety in completing the final project through reflection with the Selftalk technique.

The sample in this study came from FKIP UNISRI students who were taken using purposive random sampling technique. The data analysis technique used the Wilcoxon test formula. The significance value of the experimental group is 0.005 < 0.05, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that reflection through self-talk techniques is effective in reducing student anxiety in completing the final project.
