When things get tough and you find yourself having negative thoughts, try thinking these thoughts instead!

Flexibility
“I am having a hard time with this, I think I will try something else.”

Optimism
“I can handle this. I just need to take it one step at a time.”

Creativity
“What else can I try?”
“How can I do this differently?”

Use Resources
“Who can help me with this? Where can I go to learn more about this problem?”

Support
“This is going to be really hard. I think I will ask for help to get started.”
