I think of the expression that we have said "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." To me this calls to mind the fact that we are always learning and practicing. Sometimes we just need to practice more. If I am trying to learn how to open an egg with one hand, I will expect to "fail" many times. I understand that I need practice. Mental skills should be seen the same way.Janet Townsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02053763089386304830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964165787270568978.post-83678675397097185662017-03-11T16:22:18.171+03:002017-03-11T16:22:18.171+03:00Great topic.

One way we can do this is by "taking back a word," which I believe is at the heart of this movement. I agree that hearing the word is an automatic turn-off for many. How would you brand it?
