The document discusses creating and achieving goals using positive psychology. It recommends starting with self-awareness to identify passions and intrinsic motivators. Motivation and ability are needed for action - motivation comes from wanting to achieve a goal and ability involves understanding one's strengths and weaknesses. A growth mindset is important to develop skills through practice even if not initially strong in an area. Setting specific but achievable goals and celebrating small wins can help build resilience to challenges through optimism, gratitude and social support.

6. Starts with Self-Awareness
Passions
Get Emotional
It can’t be what someone else tells
you to do

7. Exercise – Who are you?
Without outside expectation? Find your
intrinsic motivators.
What energizes you?
What did you love as a child?
Who do you look up to?
What problems really pull you?
What do you want to say you will have
accomplished 20-30 years from now?

8. Brainstorm:
What are some things you want
to accomplish this year?

9. Ability
i.e. I can do it

10. Self-Awareness

What are you good at?
What were you good at as a child?
What do other people say you are good at?
What are you not so great at?

at?

12. Growth Mindset
“I’m not good at it, and I won’t be” vs
“I’m not good at the right now, but I can be”
“I Can Do It” can be grown and taught
