Steps to Positivity in the Classroom

Success in college depends on many things, but one of the most important is
having a positive attitude. There are many ways to develop a positive outlook.
You can try using encouraging self-talk to motivate yourself. For example, if
you tell yourself that you are smart and can be successful, you are more likely to
do well in your classes. Helping others to be successful is also a way of
maintaining a positive attitude. When you see that college is not a competition,
you will see success come to you and those who work closely with you. Finally,
you can develop a positive attitude by viewing difficult situations as
opportunities to grow. For example, if you are struggling in a class because the
material is challenging, don't let yourself feel down about it. Instead, take
action! Visit with your professor or form a study group. Getting help will enable
you to learn the material and therefore do better in your class. By using
encouraging self-talk, helping others, and utilizing difficult moments as an
opportunity to grow, you will have the optimistic outlook that will enable you to
succeed in college—and in life!
