Use first — for any mindset challenge
- This thought is real, but it is not the whole truth.
- I am in the lab, not on trial.
- This moment is data, not a verdict on my worth.
- My strengths and calling are still intact.
- I will choose one small, healthy action now and see what shifts.
I'm not failing, I'm in the lab — this is data, not destiny.
