The long and short of it: Your mindset can make you or break you!
My mom is a social worker, so I grew up talking about feelings and mindset.
Not even kidding, I remember when my sister and I would get in a fight and go to my mom she would make us sit down and work it out using "I feel --- when you ---," statements, ?? !
?
But these days EVERYONE is talking about mindset. I used to roll my eyes about it a bit. But, in all honesty now, I understand the power of mindset.
?
Mindset is how we decide to look at a situation thrown our way and it's a HUGE part of achieving goals!
I've found there are two specific parts of mindset that really help me move forward.
?
1. When something happens, I do my best to shine a positive light on it. I know this sounds almost annoying, but the alternative is to make yourself a victim in a bad situation and trust me when I say, I've done that ... and when I do that ... I stay STUCK!
?
2. Having a growth mindset. Knowing everything I do can be done better and seeking for ways to get there. Reading, learning from experts, collaborating and taking feedback from others (just to name a few.)
Developing a positive growth mindset is not something that is going to happen overnight.

But just like physical workouts, developing a mindset that is conducive to our goals is completely dependent on CONSISTENCY!
?
When we stray from #1 and #2 (which is inevitable) ... like when something happens and we think, "Why me?"?... we have to remind ourselves to view these 'mess ups' as learning opportunities.
?
Opportunities to remember:
?? Things don't happen to you, they happen for you.
?? What we aim at determines what we see.
?? Sometimes we need to alter the way we think about situations.
?? It's okay to delegate or ask for help. (This one is HUGE especially around the holiday season!)
