¶ Cultivating a Positive School Mindset
Hey there and welcome to the Mindset and Growth Project and as many of us are nearing the beginning of our school year, whether we have recently just started or we start in a week or two, we all have this fleeting idea. That school is this terrible place. That it's a place where we just sit around, listen to teachers, and just be bored all day.
Well, that can be true for some. It's because they're looking at it with this negative mindset that it's here to harm them rather than the tool or resource to help them grow. A way you can look at this is through the different classes and the kind of theme they present. You know, history. It's the ability to look back and remember on some important events and really be able to reflect on it with a positive and learning nature. And the ways you can, you know, succeed in that.
and find success with it in your own life is you're treating this as a time to practice looking back and learning from things and a way you can implement that into your life is as you have these histories and things in your classes try to remember out back in some times that you worked hard and now try to you know be have that same excitement you had that same day you worked hard and you succeeded in it
And then think on that when you're doing your history work. You're looking back on some important times in history, whether it's the many Chinese dynasties or... it's some major war like world war one or two or anything just take it with this positive nature or things like math and science it's really just
practicing your problem solving your ability to analyze a situation and once you realize that it's really actually a fun thing to do because now you're you know you're learning all these different ways to solve problems that you never would have looked at before or thought of because there are all these concepts that many minds took to make they took years upon years to craft these foundations just like
You have to build your own foundations too. As discussed in earlier episodes. But. The biggest one. To me. That you can gain the most from.
¶ Electives, Self-Discovery, and Trusting the Process
Are your electives. The ones that you choose to do. Because see. This is you exploring to find yourself. Find the things you love to do. That you enjoy. That just bring you this. just this happiness and this set of fulfillment like self this feeling of self-fulfillment and self just gratitude And once you find those things, pursue them and know that these are the things that make you happy. You don't necessarily have to be successful in it right away.
But as in anything in life, you're not going to be successful right away. You're going to need to learn and need to practice and just trust the process. And that's the whole goal of this. just podcasts in general is to teach you to trust the process and to keep a positive mindset through it all so that when the success does come, you understand that you're the reason why you have the success.
nobody else it was your determination and grit and well that'll be the end of this discussion i hope you have a great day
