Our Term 4 Learning Value: Self Belief

Back to News
17th Feb 2022

Self-belief is all about:

  • trusting in your own abilities
  • setting yourself challenging goals
  • gaining confidence and thinking of yourself positively

The following words come to mind when we think of self-belief:

  • courage
  • determination
  • positivity
  • tenacity and focus
  • faith
  • confidence
  • assuredness
  • inner strength
  • resilience

If you have self-belief what do you realise?

  • you can reach your potential if you believe in yourself
  • you should set more challenging goals to help stay motivated
  • gaining confidence gives you the strength to carry on – even when it’s really hard

 

How can you can show self-belief?

  • by having a positive and determined mind set
  • by setting yourself challenging goals and having the courage to try (and keep trying) to achieve them
  • by really believing that you can reach your potential and achieve your goals
