It seems that if you keep thinking, "Late again. I am no good," you become timid.

A Study

A study found that less confident people thought about their mistakes more.

Small Scratches

Each time you blame yourself, your heart gets a small scratch.

⚡ TRY IT
Late again! What will you do?
Plan: ❔
9:05
🔔 Class starts at 9:00
LATE ON TIME
Oh no, 9:05. Late again! What will you do? "I am no good… I am always like this." 😣 The next morning… 🌅 A new scratch on your heart… and the same morning again. 🔁 3 scratches, and still late. Blaming does not move the clock. ⏰ Good! Pick 1 small plan for tomorrow. 8:55. On time! ✨ A small plan changed tomorrow.
