A nursing student coach argues that negative self-talk like "this is too hard" blocks learning. Instead, repeat "I can do this" and track your progress to build the mindset that gets you through nursing school.
I do not want you to continue to beat yourself up. Tell yourself that you can't do it or it's too hard or it's too overwhelming. All the things like that is not helpful for you. You will not study. So you will not be able to study and focus on studying if you are in if you keep beating yourself up right? Like it's hard to study when we're just constantly telling ourselves, oh, this is so hard and I can't do it and it's impossible. It's a lot easier to study when you're in like that mindset of no, I can actually do this and I'm making this happen. Like I am doing this. I am progressing and I am studying and I am trying, right? Like that is a much better space to be in than like I can't do this, it's impossible, it's too hard, I can't do it. All this stuff.
