This resource helps you check in with:
Focus
How available is your attention right now?
Energy
Do you have the physical and emotional energy for the work in front of you?
Mental Load
How many tasks, deadlines, worries, and decisions are competing for space?
Self-Talk
How are you speaking to yourself about your performance?
Perspective
Are you responding to what actually happened—or to fear about what it might mean?
Capacity
What can you realistically accomplish with the time and energy you have?
Rest
Have you given your mind and body enough recovery?
Body Care
Have you eaten, hydrated, moved, and responded to physical needs?
Support
Do you need clarification, tutoring, help, encouragement, or accountability?
Boundaries
What needs to stop, wait, or become smaller?
Purpose
Why does this work matter to you?
Self-Worth
Can you remember that a grade, test, assignment, or academic outcome is not the full measure of who you are?
