As the researchers write:
[Success] requires less routine deployment of well-learned skills and more "thinking through" and "figuring out" of challenging new problems. Indeed, the pursuit of any challenging goal often involves actively analyzing tasks and then planning, self-monitoring, and revising strategies.
Such strategic behaviors are typically referred to as "metacognitive strategies," because they require taking a perspective on oneself and one's tactics.
Or in simple terms, constantly revising and adapting and refining your approach to achieving a goal.

The key is to regularly ask yourself 6 basic questions -- all focused on your emotions -- as you pursue a goal:
1. Are you struggling more than you should? Ask yourself, "What are things I can do to help myself?"
2. Feel like you've hit a plateau? "Is there a better way of doing this?"
3. Feel frustrated with how difficult progress seems? "How can I do this better?"
4. Feel challenged? "What are things I can do to make myself better at this?"
5. Feel intimidated? "What can I do to help myself?"
6. Feel like it's always going to be too hard? Ask yourself, "What can I do to get better at this?"

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
