    Self-evaluation is a great skill to develop. Great title! Get comfortable being uncomfortable is something my partner and I tell our students who are hesitant to speak even though they are at a level where they absolutely can speak. It's definitely easier said than done, but knowing that growth often (always?) comes from a place of discomfort helps.

    • @vickiekelty
      @vickiekelty 2 місяці тому

      Totally! Even if getting to that more comfortable zone with speaking is something we do first on our own and then with a teacher before finally getting to the point of achieving the end goal of having conversations out in the 'real world' (i.e. outside of the safety of our home or classroom), the point is that we get there. 🥰

      @vickiekelty 10 місяців тому

      Right? 🙌 If memory serves, I got the idea to shorten it to choosing a word monthly from a blog post from Ashli Brehm. Another thing I like to do is have the word in my journal so whenever I journal throughout the month I'm reminded of my word.
