I think I can..

In university I learned that if I studied for an exam with the attitude "I can't learn this stuff" I usually did not learn it. However, if I approached studying with the attitude "I can learn this", I may not have learned enough to get 100%, but I certainly learned a fair bit.

So today I need to refocus myself on a problem I have been struggling with at work for 2 days. Last night I realized I was in the "I can't do this" mindset. So today, at the start of my work day, I want to say out loud and in print "This is tough, it will take time, but I can do this"
