Goal Setting Worksheet: Staying Motivated

Exam preparation lesson 7: Staying motivated after setbacks · Set 252 · 40 questions

Study tip (Learn, shrink, restart): Helpful thoughts: “I can learn from this.”, “What will I do differently next time?”, “One low mark does not define me.” Unhelpful thoughts: “I am just bad at this.”, “Why bother?”, “Everyone is better than me.” Keep going: recall your reason, celebrate small steps, a study buddy, a progress chart, a smaller next step.
