(upbeat music)
Imagine it is your big day.
You've trained for this, you prepared for this.
Today is the game, the race, the meet, the,
I don't know, it is a competition
that you've been preparing for for quite a while
and you're so excited, you're so like,
filled with anticipation
and the crowd isn't a good mood
and you really, you know, you're really in it.
And you know, whatever you do, you do it.
And then it happens, you make a mistake.
You didn't catch the ball or you slipped
or whatever it is that you did.
It was that critical mistake that made you lose.
That made you not get the result that you wanted
to get from this event.
And as you leave the field or, you know,
the pool or wherever you are,
what goes through your mind right now?
And that's a very important question.
So one way it could go is you beat yourself up,
you are really upset, obviously you're upset.
And you start talking bad to yourself,
you start talking down on yourself
and you go like, I'm not made for this.
Like of course I had to mess up
but so typically me to do that and to not succeed.
What was I thinking that if I could win this,
you know, like, who am I?
Who do I think I am?
You know, that's one way of dealing with it.
And then there's another way which is also
upset.
You're also frustrated that you didn't win
and you didn't perform as you wanted to.
And at the same time, you immediately start thinking,
okay, but what went wrong?
What what happened?
How exactly did it happen?
What happened before that?
What was I thinking?
How was I feeling?
So you start analyzing the situation
and over time you eventually develop strategies
to make sure that it won't happen again, right?
So you train specifically for that thing
or you prepare a specific way so that, you know,
that circumstance doesn't arise anymore
or whatever caused you to mess up,
you just do whatever you can
to not have it happen again in the future.
So basically you come out stronger in the long run.
I mean, from the way that I put it here,
I think it's, you know, obvious that you want to be
the second person, you don't want to be the first person,
but I can tell you we are the first person in some areas
of our lives and we are the second person
in other areas of our lives.
But obviously the goal is to learn from our mistakes,
understand how we can use that.
Obviously we can be upset.
Obviously we can be frustrated.
I mean, you know, that's totally fine.
It's just the question of, do I use that then against me
or do I use it for me?
And that's exactly what today's episode
is going to be about.
We're going to talk about that second mindset
and how we can do more of it and how it works
and what it even is.
And I'm really excited to get started with you.
Hi, hello and welcome to the healthy & aligned podcast.
I am your host, my name is Lisa.
I am a mindset coach.
I'm an EFT tapping coach.
And in this podcast, we basically talk about all things,
mindset towards success,
towards peak performance, towards living the life
of the version of ourselves that we dream of being.
We all have this idea of who we could be
and who we really desire to be.
And in this podcast, I talk about how we can actually
become that person that lives that life.
So today it is all about growth mindset.
That's that second person or that second way
of thinking that I mentioned in the introduction.
And we're going to take a closer look of what it actually
means to have a growth mindset.
What was the other mindset that I talked about?
What is the science behind it?
And I'm also going to provide you with some very actionable
tactics and strategies to start growing your own growth mindset
and developing your own growth mindset in daily life.
And especially in those areas where you currently
don't really have that.
And that's it.
I'm so excited that you're here and let's get going.
So what even is a growth mindset?
The term itself or the concept itself
was made popular by a Stanford professor
or a researcher named Dr. Carol Dweck.
And she wrote the book about growth mindset, which
is called Mindset: the New Psychology of Success.
And in this book, she dives deep into how our mindset
and the beliefs that we have shaped the way that we behave,
shaped the way that we show up in the world,
how we deal with difficulties, and how we grow.
And she discovered that there are mainly
two different types of mindsets.
One is a growth mindset, and the other one is a fixed mindset.
And the first example that I said,
I'm not cut out to be this person that's just not who I am.
That is a fixed mindset.
It's the belief that our abilities, our intelligence,
they are fixed.
They are what they are.
And we kind of have to live with that.
And there's not much we can do about it.
There's not--
no effort is going to change my intelligence,
always going to change my abilities.
On the opposite, we have the growth mindset that is under
the belief that if I put enough effort in it,
if I give it my all, I can get better at anything.
I can get there.
I am not just who I am, but I decide who I am,
and I create that person with where I put my energy
and where I put my efforts.
So basically, with a growth mindset,
you decide who you are.
You decide what you're good at.
You decide which path you take, because you know that if you
really follow up on it, and if you put your little butt down
and work on it, you'll get there eventually.
You kind of have to.
And there is another mindset that I just
want to mention here.
It's nothing that I'm going to dive deeper into,
but it's been around for a while.
And it's a victim mindset, because it's also sometimes
mentioned in this context.
And the way I see it, a victim mindset,
sort of a subset of a fixed mindset,
or a version of that, because instead of thinking
that I am just who I am, and that's it,
and I have to live with it, people who have a victim mindset
believe that they are fixed by their environment.
Like they can only be what their environment allows them
to be, whether that is people or circumstance, culture,
whatever it is.
So again, they are fixed in who they are.
It's kind of like predefined by their environment
and by external forces.
So again, they cannot just become who they want to be,
and you know, put in a lot of effort, and that's that,
and they're going to be successful at a specific thing,
but they are fixed within their circumstance
and their environment.
So I'm not going to talk much about the victim mindset,
because I mean, as a subset of a fixed mindset,
I think it's kind of included in everything that I say
about a fixed mindset.
I just wanted to kind of like clarify that here,
because it does come up once in a while in this context.
So now, why is it so important for us to look at
whether we have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset,
or what our mindset is, you know, looks like,
why is that even so important?
The thing is, when I say mindset, what that means is that
a mindset is basically built by a set of beliefs
that we have and that we nurture.
It's beliefs and principles, I want to say.
And that, you know, a collection of beliefs
that we have about ourselves, about the world around us,
about other people, that's what makes up our mindset.
And beliefs are basically practice thoughts.
So it's a thought that we think over and over and over again.
So for me, for a long time, it was, for example,
I'm not good with numbers.
I'm like math is so hard for me.
I cannot do calculations inside my head.
Like I would always need a calculator.
I don't know numbers and me, which is thought, you know,
we're not besties.
And from early on, I would tell myself that me and numbers,
so whether it wasn't school and I had like algebra,
I hated it and I was like, but I cannot do it.
I don't know how to do it.
I will never learn it.
It's just not who I am.
And then even later in my corporate career,
whenever there was a budget to be done or, you know,
some forecast or whatever, I'd be like, shine away
and I'd be super nervous thinking, oh no,
now I have to do numbers and, and, you know,
looking back, I think it's ridiculous,
but it is a belief that I really like hammered
into my brain over and over again.
That thought that I am not good with numbers
is what I repeated over and over again
to the point where it became a belief I had about myself.
Once we have those beliefs, our brain,
things that is the truth, that is our reality
and it will start looking for proof that this is really true.
So I would, you know, start being overwhelmed
as soon as I had to do any calculations.
I would start creating my own proof
by messing up those calculations,
by taking forever to do it, by including, you know,
unconsciously, of course, but making small mistakes in it
and, you know, I would forget how to do specific things.
So I created a reality, I created an environment for myself
that proved that me and numbers are no go.
And that is what we do.
The brain will always look for proof
for whatever beliefs we have.
And now, when we look at a fixed mindset
or at a growth mindset with that knowledge,
that we'll always look for proof that what we believe is true,
both of them are true.
So whether I believe I just am who I am,
I'll make sure that that is true.
Or whether I believe, oh no, if I put effort in,
if I really start working on it, you know,
that is also true for us.
And now it's up to you to think about that.
Like what truth do you wanna have in your life?
Do you want the truth that just accepts the status quo
as the maximum of what you're capable of?
And you just have to kind of deal with it.
And, you know, live a life that makes your current way
of living as pleasurable, as easy
and as convenient as possible.
Or do you wanna adopt a mindset that allows you to grow,
to grow into another person, to become somebody else
if you decide to do so.
If you love your life, you know,
like there's no need to change it.
Like stick to what you enjoy, of course.
And there might be things that you dream of doing,
that you dream of experiencing,
that are currently not in the books for you,
unless you learn a specific skill,
or unless you really put yourself out there
and gain experience in that field.
So, basically what I'm telling you is up to you,
who you want to be.
And that in and of itself, now that I said it out loud,
is already a growth mindset.
So, but okay.
I can give you another example from my own life.
So, not only was I never good with numbers,
I was also never a very athletic person.
So, in school, I had a couple of difficult sports teachers.
I don't know how you call them, physical education,
PE teachers, right?
And I was never like in a sports club.
I was never really like physically active.
I'm not from an athletic family, right?
So, that was never a high priority for us.
And then I would be around kids who would go to sports clubs
several times a week and, you know,
would really like train and move their bodies a lot.
And obviously, I was as athletic as they were,
makes total sense, right?
But that kind of translated into me believing
that I'm just not the athletic type.
And that I am not strong, I am not fast.
I don't have enough conditioning.
I get exhausted really quickly.
And over time, again, I repeated that thought so many times.
And I found proof in my environment, you know,
that I wasn't as fast as my classmates.
Or I wasn't as strong as somebody else.
That I really confirmed that for myself.
And I really was convinced that I am not an athletic person.
And that also, to be honest,
so I'm turning 39 soon for the bigger part of my life
that was one of my beliefs.
And even though I always did some type of sports,
never really with the focus to be more athletic.
It was always like, yeah,
but I have to move my body kind of thing.
I wanna be healthy, so I better move.
And not I wanna do sports.
I wanna, you know, through good in my body.
I wanna move my body.
I wanna push, you know, my boundaries of my physical body.
And it's only been recently,
I would say like the last year, half a year, year,
that I have actively worked towards that.
And trust me, there's been a lot of inner work happening
to remove that belief, to replace that belief.
And now I am very certain that I'm an athletic person.
Like, I just never used that part of me.
I just never trained that part of me.
And now I'm running regularly.
I started to do strength workouts.
And while I still have my moments here and there,
where I kind of fall back into that old fixed mindset,
thinking like, see, I told you, this was exhausting.
And you just not made up for it and cut out for it.
I understand now that that is just simply not true.
And by believing that I am an athlete
and that I have an athletic body that can do
a physical activity, a sports,
I am slowly gathering evidence that proves myself right.
So my regular running now is for an hour.
I could have never, ever run for an hour
while I was still in that old mindset.
And it has little to do with my actual physical capabilities.
It is really the mindset that was holding me back.
I would never allow myself to push myself enough to do that.
So I hope these examples kind of like demonstrate
how much our mindset influences our behavior,
influences how we look at challenges,
how we look at learning, how we look at
maybe overcoming adversity.
And if you believe that if you push through,
if you work hard on it, if you challenge yourself,
you can get somewhere else.
It's much easier to actually do that.
If you believe that challenges are just a sign
from the universe that this is not for you
and you're not the right person to do it,
you're not gonna push yourself through it, right?
So you're not gonna grow that way.
You're not gonna learn in that area where you don't push yourself.
And honestly, as I said earlier in the beginning,
we all have areas in our lives where we operate
with a fixed mindset and we have areas
where we operate with a growth mindset.
The question is just, what do you do the majority
of the time to be honest?
So you know, your general overwhelming mindset
that you have in daily life,
is that rather a fixed mindset
or is that rather a growth mindset?
That makes a huge difference.
And then it's also interesting for us to maybe
take a moment and look at the specific areas in our lives
where we actually are not moving forward
where we are kind of idle, you know,
where nothing is happening and we just simply accept
that this is who we are and that's what we do.
And it's very interesting to look at it.
And it could be, it could be in your social environment.
It could be you as a friend, you know,
has there like, are you a good friend, are you a person
who has like a social circle and a community
and it is how you want it to be
or did you just accept that?
Well, yeah, friendships are usually hard for you
or romantic partnerships.
But it could also be specific areas in, for example,
or sport that you do.
Make do you accept that you really fast
but you just mess up the start.
The start is not as strong as you'd, you know,
but you really good at the finish.
You know, maybe that's not true.
Maybe that's just something that has happened
in the past and based on that, maybe someone told you
that's what it is and you kind of started to repeat
that thought again and again and again
that now you believe you're a super strong finisher
and just mediocre starter, you know,
like it could be things like that.
It could be, so I recently talked
with a professional climber
and there are specific holds on a boulder wall
or on a lead wall, you know,
and some are easier for specific climbers than others
and it could be that you tell yourself,
well, I'm just not really good at, you know,
a specific type of hold on the wall.
But if the other one comes, you know, I'm the best at it.
Again, that might be a fixed mindset
or like a belief that you created for yourself
that you will not be better at a specific thing
and you just accept as it is.
And those are like detailed things
but it could also be like I said earlier,
bigger things from my own experience like,
I hate numbers or I'm just not good at sports,
I rather not do it.
And the thing is, especially that belief
that I'm not athletic, that I'm not strong,
if I look back, it really saddens me
because there are so many experiences,
so many like little adventures in my life
that I did not do because I believed
I was probably not physically up to the task.
I would not be strong enough.
Like, hikes I didn't go on or swims, I didn't do,
or like, I remember that I was invited to like a boat ride,
you know, way out to like paddle and things like that.
And no, the other people that went on that trip,
they were not super athletic,
they were not like bodybuilders or something, you know,
I would have been fine, I'm pretty sure.
But that believed that I would just, you know, fail
and not be good at it and be exhausted
and embarrass myself and feel bad about myself
and little law and, you know, I just didn't do it.
I said, no, thank you, it's not for me, that's not why I am.
And looking back, it makes me really sad.
So I encourage you to think about that,
think about which areas in your life
you are maybe doing that,
whether it is in a detail, like maybe a specific thing
that you don't dare to cook,
because it seems so difficult
and you just not a good chef,
so you rather go with pasta and pesto or something,
or it could be, you know, an entire field altogether
that you don't do, but you've always been kind of interested in.
And I think that last sentence, like,
you've always been kind of interested in,
we don't have to do everything, right?
We don't have to be good at everything,
be careful with the things that you choose.
Don't overwhelm yourself, don't, you know,
overburden yourself with expectations,
thinking like whatever you touch turns into gold,
if you just work hard enough for it,
because why would you, you know,
like really pick the things that are important to you,
that bring you joy, that you dream about,
that you have big desires around,
and then that's where you can go full force in, you know,
and really become that person who you want to be.
And in general, I mean, if you want to be good at something,
you kind of have to have a growth mindset.
And if we talk about people in corporate
who want to go further in their career,
and especially when we talk about athletic feats or athletes,
as an athlete, you continuously challenge yourself.
You have to, right?
If you want to get better, you have to challenge your abilities,
you have to challenge your mind,
you have to challenge your muscles, your flexibility,
whatever it is, and not having a growth mindset
in that context is going to kill you.
It's not, you know, you're not gonna get better,
you're not gonna improve, it's gonna be so much more difficult
for you to actually become the athlete that you want to be.
So, especially in, you know, the sports industry,
I would really recommend thinking more,
and being more intentional about the mindset that you have.
Now, let's talk a little bit about the science behind it,
because this is not just a motivational thing,
like, you know, believe that you can be it and do it,
and you can if you just, you know, follow your dreams,
that it is as good as that is and as fun as that is,
there is the science behind it.
Something is happening in your brain when you train,
when you repeat things,
and it's called neuroplasticity.
So, neuroplasticity is what we call the process in your brain,
that strengthens specific neurological pathways.
So, basically what happens is, when we do something,
when we think, like any second, any millisecond in his life,
our brain is firing, you know, impulses
from one synapses to another, right?
So, we have continuously fireworks in our brains,
and those neurons that fire, that impulse,
I'm gonna call it from one to the other,
is what makes us do a specific thing.
And there is the saying what fires together,
wires together, and that basically means that,
the more often, two of these neurons talk to each other,
the stronger the pathway between them gets.
So, if we just do something once,
if we say something once, or you know,
try something out or experiment,
the pathway is very weak.
It's just like a very thin line, basically.
And the more we do it, the more we repeat it,
the stronger this pathway gets,
and stronger pathways means that the communication
between those neurons is easier, and is faster,
and is more efficient, more reliable.
So, what we want is strong neurological pathways
for the things that we wanna get better at.
And that's why repetition and training is so important.
I mean, stupid basic things, like riding,
when you learn how to ride, it was so hard in the beginning
and your letters look crooked,
and you know, like you would maybe mirror them,
or you know, it wasn't easy for you.
And the more you did it, the more you wrote,
and you more practice, the more you practice your alphabet,
the easier it got to the point that today,
when you pick up a pen and you wanna write down,
you don't consciously think about how to ride an A,
or how to ride an F.
You just know, it just happens.
And that's because those pathways
that sent the information from your brain to your hand,
and how to ride an F are so strong,
that it's as efficient as you could get.
And the same happens with any other thing that we do.
And that is also sort of a proof, to be honest,
for the growth mindset, because the growth mindset,
again, says that if you practice, if you put the work in,
you'll get better at it, you'll get good at it.
And the harder you work on it, the easier it'll get.
So if that is true, it kind of kills the notion
that I just am who I am, and that's it, you know.
I have to accept that, and I'm just not good
with numbers, that's it.
So I think it's super fascinating to see
how the brain works in that way, and it's always a very good reminder
also for myself, because I often,
I just expect myself to be good at something immediately,
and then I get frustrated if I'm not, and I have to get it,
like, you know, remember, like, okay,
give your brain the chance to actually be good at it.
If it's not similar to anything that I've done before,
how am I supposed to be good at it, right?
And I feel like it's very important for ourselves
to also give our brain some grace, you know,
and allow it to grow into that person through practice
and through repetition.
So again, in athletics, that's why we train.
That's why we practice.
So I remember I was watching,
I think it was the Netflix documentary Receiver,
and they said that you practice it so often in training
that when it happens in the game,
you don't have to think about it.
It's like, just subconscious knows exactly what to do.
There was muscle memory, because there were so many other things
happening on game day that you don't wanna, like, think,
okay, how exactly did I need to run?
Like, where do I put my arm?
Which foot do I put my weight on?
And like, all of these things that those receivers have to pay attention to,
you want it to be so ingrained in your system
that you don't have to think about it in the moment when it counts.
And that's why you repeat it over and over and over and over and over
again in practice.
And I thought that was a very good example
of how neuroplasticity actually works.
And actually in this context, I also remember Quarterback,
you know, I'm into American football.
So I also watched the Netflix documentary Quarterback,
and I remember Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of Kanas City Chiefs,
practicing things in high speed so often that when he would do it
in normal speed during a game, it felt slow to him, you know,
and he would have all the time to consider everything else and be in the moment
and, you know, make quick, split second decisions and stuff like that.
But it felt like everything was slowed down because he trains it at higher speed.
And again, I think that is a beautiful example of neuroplasticity at work
in high performance athletes.
And we can take that concept to anything.
Like we can, we can use that concept in any circumstance,
in any skill or ability competence that you want to develop.
So let's learn from these guys, you know,
they are the best for a reason.
And that kind of brings me to the activities or strategies or technical moves
that we can do to practice our own growth mindset and make sure that we stay
within that mindset and not intentional or unintentionally hold ourselves back
through a fixed mindset in a specific area.
And I always believe that the first step is awareness.
So I really recommend that you start observing your thoughts.
Observe your thoughts, like whenever they come to you in whatever context.
If you have a specific goal in mind, let's say you have a specific,
a specific routine in mind.
Every time you think about that routine, every time something comes up about it,
pay special attention.
What exactly is it that you are thinking about?
What comes up when you practice that routine?
How do you feel about it?
What are your thoughts during?
What are your thoughts after?
If you messed up, you know, how do you, how do you react to it?
Like be very, very aware of your thoughts around it.
Because again, repeated thoughts turn into beliefs and beliefs is what we are working
on proving rights.
So you'd want to make sure that you prove the right beliefs, right?
What a sentence.
Then another thing that you can do.
So once you know sort of where your thoughts are, what beliefs you have,
there are different things you can do.
One thing is to make sure that you always challenge yourself.
Make sure that you always push yourself.
You know, do the next step, go the next level.
And do it a bit faster like Patrick Mahomes or increase your repetitions for a specific
activity to make sure that you are continuously challenged.
Because when we challenge ourselves, that's when we grow.
That's when we do something differently than we've done before.
That's how we can become better at something.
Because if we do it the same way all the time, same intensity, same environment, same circumstance,
we eventually will idle because we're really good at the thing and that's that.
But we want to get better.
So we have to move ourselves outside our comfort zone.
And also if we're good outside the comfort zone, imagine how brilliant we are within the comfort
zone.
Just as a side note.
When we do that, when we challenge ourselves, when we push outside the comfort zone, they
will inevitably be setbacks.
We will not be great at everything you first try.
That is just the most natural thing to do.
Again, because the pathways, the neuro pathways are not as strong.
So understanding that and reframing setbacks, reframing failure in your mind as, oh, I am
actually learning something.
And analyze what went wrong.
Let me show I practice exactly that thing.
Let me show I practice or prepare for exactly that moment where I didn't succeed this time.
So instead of feeling that failure and setbacks are the be all and all and just the prove that
you're not made for this, take it as something to learn from.
And I know it is easier said than done.
And it is so okay to be frustrated, it's so okay to be upset if you prepare for something
and it doesn't work out the way you want it.
Sure, but don't stay there.
They give yourself the time to be upset and frustrated and then move on.
Take it, learn from it and come out stronger at the other end.
And if it helps you because it does help me, just picture your brain building these
streets, building these pathways between different neurons.
And how by doing it again and again and again, it will become more reliable and better
and more efficient and faster and all of these beautiful things that we want.
What else?
Yes, feedback.
Seek feedback because it is such an important input to become better.
Because we don't see the forest for the trees, right?
Because we've been so like inside this whole thing that we've been training for, that we've
been working on, that we've been preparing for, that we can't even see any more what else
we could do or how we could do things differently or where there is a lever to change.
There is a reason why even the best athletes on this planet, even the best CEOs,
the best entrepreneurs, like the most successful people have coaches and the more successful
they get, the more specific their coaches are, right?
So you will, you know, if you're a golf, if you look at the golfers, they have specific
coaches for specific swings.
They don't just have that one coach, they have like five coaches, you know, and they also
have a mental coach and they have a warm-up coach and they have like, you know, the more successful
you want to be, the more detailed you have to look at specific things.
Because in the end, once you reach a specific level, the success is in those 1% changes.
And getting someone else who knows what they're doing to take a very close look at it and to
give you very specific feedback can then help you to grow, can then help you to go further.
And then, you know, practice that new pathway in your brain that you haven't really been
focusing on because you were so obsessed about this other thing, you know?
So seeking feedback, getting help, getting outside perspective is highly recommended for
you to get better.
And if you are in a fixed mindset, you're not going to accept that feedback.
It feels like a feedback is personal because you do what you can and you are who you are.
So if you say, "I'm not doing something right," basically you are criticizing me as a person.
However, if you have a growth mindset, if you embrace that idea that you could become
whoever you want when you put your energy and your effort to it, feedback is just another
piece of information for you to use.
It has nothing to do with you as a person.
It just helps you to become another version of yourself.
That's that.
So feedback coaching is really important for people with a growth mindset to grow.
Oh, for people with a growth mindset who have goals in their life, let me put it that
way.
So, yeah, and that brings me to that point.
Have goals.
Look at your life, look at the things where you feel like you want to change, you want to
be better, you want to be different, and set yourself goals in those areas.
And think about the person you want to be in that area and use that as your goal because
that gives you something to work towards, something to obsess over in the most beautiful way of obsession
to practice, to repeat, to get better at, and it gives you a direction instead of just
changing who you are, change specifically, change with intention and with focus.
And I truly believe that.
This whole talk about growth mindset, about neuroplasticity, you will hear me talk about this so much
more because it is so fundamental.
If we want to live the life that we dream of, we need to have the right mindset to get there.
And having a fixed mindset, being stuck in the status quo, it's not going to get us anywhere.
It's holding us back.
So if we want to improve in a sustainable manner in a way that is healthy in a way that allows
us to enjoy the process as well.
Having a growth mindset is the way to go.
It's the cornerstone of it.
So I recommend that you check in with your thoughts.
Review your thoughts, review your beliefs, like how do you think what are the thoughts coming
up when you mess something up or how are the thoughts or what are the thoughts when you
do something well?
You know, like how do you think about this?
Do you think, yeah, well, obviously I did well because this is who I am and that's the
thing I'm good at.
Or do you think, yeah, I worked so hard for it.
I'm so proud of myself that I did that, that I achieved this, that I was successful at
this and I really like honed in on the details of it and there you are and you get to celebrate
your success and not just take it for granted.
I think having this awareness of our thoughts, of our beliefs is the key in the end to work
on our mindset and to develop and grow within our beliefs and allow us to slowly start
reframing our thoughts and reframing our beliefs and replacing them with something that is more
serving rather than something that is fixed and stagnant.
And I guess the last recommendation I have for you in terms of like activity is I said
it earlier, challenge yourself regularly, get used to the idea of doing things that are
outside your comfort zone because again, that bravery that is connected with that is
something that you can train in your brain.
It's a muscle you can train and it will make it easier over time because you are building
those strong neuropath ways in your brain that allow you to be maybe even more courageous
next time, be more brave and allow yourself to grow in different directions that allow you
to become a bigger person that allow you to see the world with different eyes.
So regular activities outside your comfort zone are the way to go to practice that growth
mindset, idea and to practice your own ability to dare, basically, an ability to be brave.
