Growth Mindset Self-Talk

Instead of... 

...Try thinking

I'm not good at this ...

... What am I missing?

I give up ...

... I'll use a different strategy

It's good enough ...

... Is this really my best work?

I can't make this any better ...

... I can always improve

I made a mistake ...

... Mistakes help me to learn

I just can't do this ...

... I'm going to train my brain

I'll never be that smart ...

... I will learn how to do this

Plan A didn't work ...

... There's always Plan B

My friend can do it ...

... I will learn from them
