| This was a slow process, but: 1. Regular written self-reflection, i.e., keeping a journal and 2. Re-framing "failures" as learning experiences; forgive yourself helped me a lot. The written part was important to me because it forced me to revisit my previous thoughts and reevaluate them in light of what had happened since last time I wrote. (2) also helped me do things with the mind-set that "failure" wasn't actually failure. The goal was to try and learn from it. I didn't get around to doing this until after school, but I wish I had. In your situation, I'd try to get myself to do the assignment with a quick pass early on leaving notes for things I wasn't sure about. Take a break, then revisit and revise. Afterwards, write in your journal what worked well and what didn't. Write about what you want to try next time differently if some things come to mind. Hope you find a solution that works for you. E-mail is in my profile if you want to talk more about what's worked for me. |
