Hi there 👋
Doubting your skills and yourself? We’ve all been there! Battling with confidence in one’s own abilities can sometimes deter us from our goals. At times like these, you must adapt your mindset, build on your strengths, and harness your motivation. Developing self-confidence has the power to propel us and others around us!
Adapting your mindset is the foundation to becoming a captain of confidence ⚓️.
Researcher and mental health nursing specialist Dr. Abir Bekhet introduced the 8-skills Positive Thinking Skills Scale to identify the risk of clinical depression and the point at which referral, intervention, or treatment should be recommended. This scale has been recycled to measure mindsets and encourage thought adjustments for individuals to lead more positive and purposeful lives.
The 8-skills focuses on your ability to:
Transform negative thoughts into positive thoughts.
Know how to break a problem into smaller parts to be more manageable.
Highlight positive aspects of a situation.
Interrupt pessimistic thoughts with optimistic thoughts.
Practice positive thinking intentionally.
Initiate optimistic beliefs in difficult situations.
Challenge pessimistic thoughts.
Generate positive feelings.
