You Can Do It If You Think You Can
by Sometimes you have to psych yourself up when you have a difficult task to complete. You can achieve almost anything with the right frame of mind. So set your mind to it and heed these few tips to get you started.
When there is something you really want to achieve and you doubt yourself, that’s the time to get your mind psyched up to accomplish the task.

1. Make a list of your strengths, your good qualities and everything you like about yourself and apply it to the situation at hand.
2. Set clear and realistic goals. If the task is too large, see if you can break in down in smaller goals, and approach them one by one.

3. Write down your goals and follow your checklist. This will keep you on track and let you feel a sense of accomplishment.
4. Reward yourself for completing a difficult task. Rewards will increase your motivation to accomplish your goals.
5. Before you tackle a difficult task imagine yourself doing it. Sit in a quiet place and, close your eyes, breathe deeply and see yourself completing the task.
6. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

8. Don’t let yourself procrastinate and beware of things that would sidetrack you.
9. Get a good nights sleep, be well rested, and have a healthy meal.
10. Now you are ready to go. Walk tall and keep your confidence intact. You can do it if you think you can.

Good try Ruby,
I hate to bust your bubble but their is no such tbhing as luck and charms do not work, but the pictures were could. life is trial and error and information not luck. Luck is evil. it is poor tadte to with some that. Best Wishes and to want you can is the goal.

Thank you one and all, Sometimes we have to talk ourselves into succeeding but if that gets the job done…..
jazzad, Sorry hon, but if a rabbit foot or a smooth stone (or whatever) gives you that extra confidence to succeed then carry it with you. It won’t hurt a thing.

Just the pep talk I need today, Ruby; it was whiny day at school. After a day when every sentence started with he, she or someones name followed up by a tattle, it is fantastic to hear positive advice that begins with the pronoun “you”.

I like what you say about if the task is too large, break it down. That is often the reason so many fail, they don’t break it down and build confidence as each small task is completed.
