What strengthens me professionally – my support thoughts


What strengthens me professionally – my support thoughts

Encouraging thoughts for sticking with your career
These can be thoughts or strategies such as:

* "I take a small step every day." ? example: I only write the CV today, the rest of the application tomorrow.

* "I remember why I want this profession." ? example: I want to work with technology because I like to design things.

* "I'm allowed to take breaks – that's part of working." ? example: After 45 minutes of concentrated work, I take a 5-minute break.

* "I ask for support when I get stuck." ? example: I ask a colleague to explain a task to me again.




Encouraging thoughts on the courage to try new things
Supporting thoughts and strategies can be:

* "I don't have to be able to do everything right away – I can learn." ? example: I take part in a training course, even if I don't understand everything yet.

* "I just try it out – I can only learn." ? example: I volunteer for a new task in the team.

* "Mistakes are allowed – they help me to get better." ? example: I take notes when something doesn't work out and try something else.

* "I'm curious – that helps me discover new paths." ? example: I find out about a new profession that interests me.

I'm unsure of a conversation
"I prepare well – then I'm safer."

I'm losing motivation
"I remember my goal – that motivates me."




How my strengths in dealing with anger or sadness can help me

Example 1: 
I show my social skills by apologizing and telling the staff or leader in the room that I need to go to the bathroom for a moment.

Example 2: 
If a colleague explains something too quickly, I kindly ask for a slow repetition of her explanation with pauses in which I can ask something.
 

Now I'm going to write more ideas on how my strengths in dealing with anger or sadness can help me:
