You had a go!
Yesterday was Have-a-go Monday, and, mostly, you did! You will continue with your chosen workshop on Thursday. It is not possible to change workshops at this stage. A wrong choice is your opportunity to fail forwards!
Today is Acceptance Tuesday-it’s OK to feel like you do when you fail at something. Don’t let those feelings stop you.
We had a go!
Huge thanks to workshop leaders for a successful Have-a-go Monday. Apart from a couple of publishing errors, and a few students changing their workshops, the activities were very well-received.
Today is Acceptance Tuesday, accepting the feelings that come with failure-take a look at the materials on the OneNote.
Continue to develop the Self-talk and Support-talk at every opportunity.
