1.0.3 - Growth reflection#
Related to growth mindset, the author recommends choosing short-term discomfort to build long-term satisfaction and capability. Link to article.
Effort and Habits: Pushing past discomfort is more difficult with my anxiety, since major surgery 15 years ago, and faltering career, since COVID. Those damaged my confidence and moved me away from values-driven and growth-oriented jobs. I can usually see my glows/progress :star: and grows/weaknesses :seed:, but I am anxious to feel deep pride. :joy:
Self-Reflection and Criticism Tone: My daily reflections are too negative and I need to work on that with apps and my psychologist. I have trouble finding productive and valid feedback from those close to me, who are a small group. I understand and sometimes strive for continuous improvement, my internal self-assessment should change to a more positive perspective.
Competition vs. Collaboration: I am usually exceptional at admiring coworkers, having honest conversations, recognizing their strengths, and encouraging a supportive work culture. However, too many negative interactions can turn me away from those tendencies and I will self-isolate. I hope that this cohort has a growth mindset, is inspired by each other, collaborates. We seem to be on a good track for that in the first 3 days.
