Growing Mindset

Someone linked me this article today to read, and I decided to write about it on my own volition without being prompted to by an instructor or as part of the curriculum :eyes:.
I agree with a lot that is said in this article. What really speaks to me is the idea of fixed mindset vs growth mindset.
I feel that personally, I've had moments where I had qualities of both. There are times where I become avoidant of things because of fear. But I find that when I've tried to perservere through them, that's where I've found the most growth. However, there were times I needed to go through a long period of fixed mindset due to loss or fatigue. I think that's okay because we need time to recover, and that's sometimes where our brains need to be.
I also enjoy the idea that brings up the idea of love of learning. I love learning, I love the idea of exercising my brain. Whenever I've let my brain not exercise, I feel a lot more sluggish and my brain fog hits harder. I feel like it keeps me sharp.
3 Reminders to Stay Growing**
 1. Stay open-minded to new ideas
 2. Don't sweat the big stuff
 3. Keep yourself ground mentally, spiritually, and physically.
Pointless Table that Doesn't Add Anything to the Discussion, but I Personally Thought Would Be Funny
