Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, welcome back to Low Keys Spiraling. I'm your host,
Jay Carter, and today we're diving into something super important.
Building that unshakable inner badass, a growth mindset and resilience.
Ever feel like life throws you curve balls left and right,
(00:20):
like you're constantly fighting an uphill battle. You know that
feeling when you trip over the same rock again and again,
wondering why you even bother getting up. Trust me, I
get it. We all hit those rough patches. But here's
the game changer. It doesn't have to be a never
ending cycle of frustration and defeat. Today we're going to
(00:42):
equip ourselves with some seriously powerful tools, a growth mindset
and resilience that can turn those bumps in the road
into stepping stones. Imagine facing challenges not as insurmountable obstacles,
but as opportunities for growth and learning. That's the magic
of a growth mindset. It's about embracing challenges instead of
(01:06):
shying away from them. So let's break down five key
takeaways that will have you feeling unstoppable. Number one, embrace
failure as feedback. Look, nobody likes to fail, right, But
here's the thing. Failure isn't the opposite of success. It's
part of the process. Think of it like this. Every
(01:28):
time you stumble, you gain valuable intel about what works
and what doesn't. It's a chance to adjust your course
and come back stronger. Number two challenge your limiting beliefs.
We all have those nagging thoughts that hold us back.
I'm not good enough, I can't do this, et cetera.
These limiting beliefs are like invisible walls, preventing us from
(01:52):
reaching our full potential. We need to actively challenge them.
Ask yourself, is there any evidence to support these negative thoughts?
Often the answer is no. By questioning those beliefs and
replacing them with positive affirmations, we open ourselves up to
new possibilities. Number three Focus on the process, not just
(02:18):
the outcome. It's easy to get caught up in the destination,
landing that dream job, winning that competition, whatever your big
goal is, but remember the journey itself is just as important.
By focusing on enjoying the process, learning from each step,
and celebrating small victories along the way, we cultivate a
(02:42):
sense of fulfillment that goes beyond achieving a specific outcome.
Number four surround yourself with positive influences. You know that
saying you are the average of the five people you
spend the most time with, it's so true. Surround yourself
with people who inspire you, motivate you, and believe in
(03:03):
your potential. Seek out mentors, join communities and cultivate relationships
that uplift and support your growth. And finally, number five,
practice self compassion. Be kind to yourself, especially when things
get tough. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone faces setbacks. Instead of
(03:24):
beating yourself up, acknowledge your struggles, learn from them, and
keep moving forward. Remember you're doing the best you can,
and that's enough. Think about that time you really wanted
to learn something new, maybe a new skill, or even
just how to bake the perfect sour dough bread. You
probably face some bumps in the road, right There were
(03:47):
probably moments where you felt discouraged, frustrated, even like giving up.
But you persevered, didn't you, because deep down you knew
that learning and growing was worth it. And guess what,
the same principle applies to everything else in life. Life
is constantly throwing curve balls, unexpected challenges, setbacks, disappointments, They're
(04:12):
all part of the game. But with a growth mindset
and resilience, we can face those challenges head on, learn
from them, and come out stronger on the other side.
So let's ditch the fixed mindset mentality, that idea that
we're stuck in who we are and what we can achieve.
(04:33):
It's time to embrace the incredible potential within each of
us to become life long learners, unstoppable forces of positive change.
Remember this isn't a race, it's a journey, so take
it one step at a time, celebrate your victories, learn
from your stumbles, and keep moving forward. And Hey, I
