Erase negative “can’t do” messages and replace them with positive, “how to” thoughts. Focus on how you will handle a challenge instead of worrying about what could go wrong. Learn from your mistakes!

Slow, even breathing can slow down your heart rate and stop a panic attack when you have the fight-or-flight response to a stressful performance situation.

Picture your neurons growing new connections as you work on a problem. Remember, you are building your brain up as you learn. Effort is the key!

When you have difficulty, that is the time to increase your effort, not give up! It’s when you find something hard that you have a real chance to learn and develop your brain and your skills. Just don't read the sign from left to right. :)
