Discussion Exercise/Thought Process: If you think you can, you’re on the right track

Believing in yourself makes a big difference. And it’s a skill that you can learn and practice.

How often do you approach a new challenge with a “can do” attitude? Often? Rarely? Never? Here’s a news flash: Thinking negatively often leads to failure. On the other hand, believing you can do something gives you a big advantage from the start. Why don’t people believe in themselves?

How can you start to believe in yourself? Here are some strategies that can help:

1. When faced with a challenge, force yourself to stop thinking “I can’t.” Instead, re-program and re-state your thoughts to be positive. It takes practice, but it can make all the difference in the outcome.

2. Remind yourself of past successes. Give yourself credit for big and little things that go right.

3. Ask for help if you need it. Have a new task and don’t know how to handle it? Why guess? Instead, ask for help from a coworker (if it’s a work assignment) or trusted friend. Give yourself every chance to succeed. *Added to citation …ask for help from your instructor if it’s coursework.

Believing in yourself isn’t a magic trick ― it’s a work in progress for everyone.
