Change is hard, but not changing can be even harder the longer we allow things to stay not quite how we would like them to be. Everyone is capable of improving themselves, whether building on strengths, mitigating weaknesses, or developing an entirely new aspect of ourselves.
This lesson provides students with significant scaffolding to enable them to identify and set goals, and to plan and stick to a routine that works towards the achievement of these goals. Students will also compare and contrast positive and negative mindsets and explore how they can adjust their inner voice to overcome demotivating talk.
Students will come to understand that change does not happen all at once; but with perseverance and a clear strategy of gradual improvement, change can happen eventually.
