Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, career Calm fam, it's your girl, Riley Hart
back with another daily dose of stress busting strategies for
all you high achievers out there. Ever feel like you're
running on a hamster wheel, constantly chasing the next deadline,
the next promotion, the next well, you get the idea.
We live in a world that glorifies hustle culture, but
(00:22):
let's be real. Constant pressure isn't sustainable and it can
seriously mess with your mental game. Today, we're diving into
something super powerful, developing a growth mindset through reading and learning.
Think of it as leveling up your brain power and
becoming the ultimate CEO of your own life. No more
feelings stuck or like you're just going through the motions.
(00:44):
This is about unlocking your full potential and embracing a
mindset that sees challenges as opportunities, set backs as stepping stones,
and every day is a chance to learn and grow.
Now I know what you're thinking, Riley, I'm already swamped.
Where am I supposed to find time for reading? But
trust me on this one. Carving out even just fifteen
(01:04):
to twenty minutes a day can make a world of difference. Plus,
we're not talking about boring textbooks here, think inspiring biographies,
thought provoking fiction, or even those fascinating articles you keep
seeing pop up in your feed. Here are five key
takeaways to get you started. One. Embrace the power of curiosity.
(01:25):
The growth mindset is all about being curious and eager
to learn new things. Ask questions, explore different perspectives, and
challenge your own assumptions. Remember that little voice inside you
that said why when you were a kid, don't let
it go silent. Two. Seek out diverse voices. The world
is full of amazing stories and experiences. Reading about people
(01:49):
from different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life can broaden
your horizons and help you develop empathy and understanding. It's
like taking many vacations to other worlds, right in the
company of your own living room. Three. Learn something new
every day, whether it's a new word, a historical fact,
or a scientific concept. Make a conscious effort to learn
(02:10):
something new every day. This keeps your mind sharp, expands
your knowledge base, and reminds you that there's always more
to discover. Think of it as leveling up in real life,
just like in those awesome video games. Four. Apply what
you learn. Reading is only half the battle. The true
magic happens when you put what you learn into practice.
(02:32):
Try out new ideas, experiment with different approaches, and don't
be afraid to make mistakes along the way. Remember failure
is just a stepping stone to success. Five. Make reading
a habit. Just like any other skill. Reading takes practice.
Set aside dedicated time for reading each day, even if
it's just fifteen minutes. Find a cozy spot, grab your
(02:55):
favorite beverage, and get lost in the pages of a
good book. Before you know it, reading will become a
rewarding part of your daily routine. Okay, let me paint
you a picture. Imagine this. You're at work facing a
particularly challenging project. Your mind starts racing, doubts creep in,
and you feel that familiar not of stress tightening in
(03:17):
your chest. But hold on, remember what we talked about today.
You've got that growth mindset, which means you see this
as an opportunity to learn and grow. You pull out
your phone, find that article you bookmarked last week about
overcoming creative blocks, and boom, you're back in the game,
feeling inspired and ready to tackle the challenge head on.
(03:39):
See reading doesn't just feed your brain, it equips you
with tools to navigate the ups and downs of life
with resilience and confidence. So my friends, remember these key takeaways.
Cultivate curiosity, seek diverse voices, learn something new every day,
apply what you learn, and make reading a habit. Ready
(03:59):
to level up your life? I know you are. Don't
forget to share this episode with a friend who could
use a dose of career Colm and hit us up
on social media and let us know what you're reading.
I love getting recommendations. Until next time, Stay calm, keep learning,
and rock that growth mindset. This podcast is created with
(04:25):
the help of advanced AI to deliver thoughtful affirmations and
positive messages just for you.
