MY GROWTH MINDSET STATEMENTS I can CHANGE my MINDSET with my WORDS!
INSTEAD OF: I am not good at this. I am great at this. This is too hard. This is too easy. I am afraid I will make a mistake. I give up. I can't do this. This is good enough.
I CAN SAY: I am not good at this YET, but I will learn. I practiced and learned how to do this. This will require effort and finding the right strategy. How can I make this more challenging? When I make a mistake, I will learn from it and get better. I will succeed if I put forth effort and find a better strategy. I need some feedback and help from others. Is it my best work? Can I improve it?
I won't try because I might fail.
If I fail I can try again until I succeed!
I am not as smart as my friend.
I am in charge of how smart I am because I can grow my brain by learning hard things! Big Life Journal - biglifejournal.com
