can’t do something? add the word “yet”

Sometimes, we get stuck believing we can’t achieve something.

By adding one small word—yet—we remind ourselves that growth and progress are possible.

Take Action for Happiness:

⚡ When you feel you can’t do something, add the word “yet.” ⚡

The word yet shifts your mindset from fixed to growth-oriented. It opens the door to possibility, signaling that what’s difficult today might become achievable tomorrow. This tiny word can build resilience and encourage persistence, helping you tackle challenges with optimism and determination.

Adding yet to your thoughts fosters self-compassion and motivates you to keep learning and improving.

🌱Notice limiting thoughts:

Pay attention when you think, “I can’t do this.” Recognize these thoughts as opportunities for growth.

🧠Reframe with yet:

Immediately follow up with, “I can’t do this yet.” Feel the difference this small word makes in your mindset.

🌟Take a small action:

Identify one step to move closer to what you think you can’t do. Build confidence by focusing on progress, not perfection.
