So much wisdom in this post!
As I celebrate my birthday today, I'm reflecting on how much it’s built into our youth-worshipping culture that we have to do everything by the time we’re 30. But as I’ve learned first-hand, we can build our dreams at any age! 💜
Cultivate curiosity. Why are you stressed? To unhook, we have to understand where our stress comes from. We can’t do that unless we curiously interrogate the feeling, considering the reasons behind our stress, the people who might be causing it, and the qualities of the stress experience. How do you behave when you’re stressed? What do you tell yourself when you’re feeling anxious? Recognize the patterns in your responses. https://lnkd.in/et2H5xf
Psychologist Carol Dweck has spent her entire career studying attitude and performance, and her latest study shows that your attitude is a better predictor of your success than your IQ.
“The one thing in life you can control is your effort,” he said last year in a LinkedIn video post published by entrepreneur and VC investor Randall Kaplan. “And being willing to do so is a huge competitive advantage, because most people don’t.” https://lnkd.in/g_3zcnTJ
Driving to learn more and take on greater responsibility can carry us to the heights of leadership, but we limit ourselves if that ambition causes us to sacrifice celebration and self-care. Taking the time to show appreciation to others for their efforts assures them that we see their value and fuel their continued contributions to the team. In the same way, regular self-care rejuvenates our spirit and dedication as we work through the heavy lifting of moving into bigger boxes: overcoming apprehensions, learning from mistakes and developing confidence. https://lnkd.in/gMrFx4wy
