Create a motto!

Practice: There are some statements and words I repeatedly remind myself to feel better when I am disappointed. For instance, if I fail in a competition, I tell myself: “It doesn’t matter!” or “It is OK. I will try again!”

• Now, think about an event that disappointed you recently. Use the following mottos when that moment comes:
• “It is OK. I will try again!”
• “It doesn’t matter!”
• “I can always try again later!”
• “Whatever happens, I am doing great!”
• “I am loved!”
• “Don’t you worry about it!”
