Believe In Yourself

Have you ever had a special word jump out at you? I have. My special word is "Believe". Everywhere I go this word jumps out at me. It is truly my "power" word.
I hold on to it when I am trying something new. I think about it when I have children that are struggling with self esteem and I rely on it during tough times. Even the quote in my Teachers Pay Teachers store is about believing. It is no wonder that I decided to see what "power" words my students would come up with when I returned to school in the fall.

In my home, over the last little while, I have noticed items have been added to my belongings. Guess what! Many of them contain the words and sentiments of my power word. Here are a couple of things I came across during Christmas break.

How appropriate for those who are trying something new!

I found a pair of these at the thrift store just before Christmas. Of course I had to get them and add them to my display.

These little gems were at a local liquidation store.

My students are so cute. They know that this is my power word, so when they find something with the word believe on it, they make sure to share it with me. One of my students even gave me a Christmas card with the word "Believe" on it.

Do you have a power word that motivates you? I'd love to hear about it.
