Ways to care for your mental health

Confidence

Believe in the person you're becoming.

What this means

Confidence is not feeling perfect. It is trusting that you can learn, try again, and handle hard things.

Signs to notice

  • • Saying 'I can't' before trying
  • • Comparing yourself a lot
  • • Quitting quickly

Healthy coping ideas

  • • Collect proof of past wins
  • • Use 'not yet' instead of 'can't'
  • • Practice out loud

Journal prompts

“Name one thing you are proud of.”

“What is something you can do now that you could not do last year?”

“What would you try if you knew you could not fail?”

“What is a kind, true sentence about you?”

“Who believes in you, and why?”

Short activity: Proof Journal

  1. Write 3 past challenges
  2. Write how you got through them
  3. Read it out loud
