• being able to forgive yourself
• having a growth mindset
• setting realistic and achievable goals
• knowing the small steps that you need to take to reach the goals you want to achieve
• being able to recognise what you have overcome and celebrating the little successes
• recognising that making mistakes and slip ups are things to learn from and thinking about what you can do next time
• being open to challenging negative views about yourself
• looking at situations from different angles - seeing what went well
• looking for the reasons why something went differently to how you had hoped it would (not automatically thinking there's something wrong with us - seeing it as something we struggle with and can get better with over time)
• trying to challenge negative absolutes e.g. I will never be able to do this and reframing those thoughts to kinder ones e.g. "I'm finding this really difficult. I'm really trying and I wonder what support will help me, or who I can talk to about this..what I can do differently next time
• Reaching out for help, seeing it as positive thing.
