Maddie: I'm in a bit of a tricky situation. How can I have a more helpful mindset to get me through it? 



Tigist: So, first thing is to pause and sit with your feelings. What's tricky? Why is it tricky? What am I dealing with? Then the next thing to think about is what is achievable for me to overcome this? Because challenges are a natural part of life and changing our mindsets, similar to changing different other parts of ourselves, means that we need to be able to sit with the difficulties of those thoughts and think about what is achievable for the future.
