Do you ever say, "I wish I could go back ." Or "if I could do it again I'd ...."? Well the truth is, if you went back, you are a different person than the person in that moment. Especially if time has passed. Everything in life has an opportunity to learn from. You have to look at things and take what you would "go back and change" and remember that for a potential "next time".

For myself most situations not handled the best weren't good situations. Meaning, I probably wouldn't want to do them again, as it was or with someone else in the future. So it needs to stay where it was, with the outcome being a learning moment for all involved.

Growth can be small or big. Altogether it can be huge either way! See that as a positive. You are who you are for a reason. Be grateful for not being where you were. Not happy with where you are? Do future "you" a favor and work towards a better future so you can look back at the now and say "I love that I don't fit there anymore!"

You've got this!

When talking about a growth mindset, you have to acknowledge the opposite. A fixed mindset. This occurs when people see their traits and capabilities as unchanging, no matter how much time, circumstance, or or ability has come to pass. They see their ability as being in a fixed state.

The concept of growth and fixed mindsets was coined by psychologist Carol Dweck in her 2006 book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.

According to Dweck, challenging situations can be catastrophic for those with fixed mindsets because of the implication that if they don’t already have the skills or intelligence to complete a task, there’s no chance of improvement.

When you have a growth mindset, you believe you can gain the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed, which makes every challenge a learning opportunity. Given the numerous challenges entrepreneurs face, a growth mindset can be a powerful tool as you work toward your venture’s success.

Nothing in your life will change if you go through with a fixed mindset. What goals could help shift any fixed notions you may have to a more fluid growth mindset?

A new week has arrived! The good news is you have survived everything thrown your way so far!! This is a sign you have been resilient and there is no reason that you will not continue to be!

Resilience is the ability to adapt to a changing environment, and this adaptive stress response (also known as allostasis) is crucial for survival. Everyone faces challenges and hardship at times.

Resilience is your ability to cope with and bounce back from stress and adversity, and hopefully even grow through the experience. It is sometimes referred to as “thriving” … and not just surviving.

Resilience is not a fixed state. You may be more resilient at different times in your life than others. Most importantly, resilience can be learned, practiced, developed, and strengthened.

Resilience. Resilience through- Trauma. Stress. Coping. Sickness. Immense joy. Family. Healing. Calm. Whatever this week brings you can handle it. It might be hard, it might be joyous, it might be exhausting. We CAN do it. Looking for ways to build your resilience?? Let's chat! 💚
