When have you had an experience of self-efficacy? What was it like?

From Chapter 3

What is an example of a belief you hold about yourself, others, or the world that gives you strength?

From Chapter 5

Pick 1 of the 12 questions listed on pages 103–104 and write out your thoughts in response to it. Let it sit for a day and then revisit what you wrote. Has your response changed at all? Over the next few months, try doing the same each week for the other 11 questions.
