Self-handicapping protects our self-worth but limits growth. Instead of making excuses, we can develop healthier mental habits: adopting a growth mindset to see effort as progress; practicing self-compassion by valuing persistence over perfection; engaging in honest reflection to learn from outcomes; and seeking structured support from coaches or mentors to face challenges clearly. These habits help anyone,learners, leaders, or parents, move from self-protection toward real growth and resilience.
