Take control where you can
... and let go where you can’t.

Motivate yourself with a reward
People who know their hard work will be tangibly rewarded tend to perform better than those who don’t.

Take control
In a pressure moment, there are factors you have control over and factors you don't.
Focus on the factors you can control, not on the "uncontrollables," that could intensify the pressure, increase your anxiety, and ultimately undermine your confidence.

Finding What We Can Control
Most things are outside of our control, and if you were responsible for everything in your life you would also be responsible for every negative part of it.

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!
