Day 21 - Final Reflection

Over the past 21 days, engaging in the mindset journal has been a tough yet fun journey. Initially, I found myself frequently caught in the web of self-doubt and fixed thinking. The journalism process compelled me to confront these patterns head-on, documenting instances where I defaulted to a fixed mindset and dissecting the underlying thoughts. Recognizing these patterns became a powerful catalyst for change. As I actively worked to adopt a growth mindset, I observed a significant shift in my perspective. Challenges that once seemed insurmountable now appear as opportunities for learning and improvement. The daily reflection forced me to seek out the positive aspects of setbacks and failures, re framing them as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. Engaging with this growth mindset journal has not only influenced how I approach challenges but has also seeped into various aspects of my life, fostering resilience, adaptability, and a newfound enthusiasm for continuous learning. I'm excited to continue journalism beyond the assignment as it has helped me learn to better personally reflect rather than search for the right answer, while also understand that adopting a growth mindset is not a destination but a lifelong commitment to personal and professional development.

Day 11 - Life with a growth mindset

 Adapting a growth mindset is like having a key to unlock any opportunity. Growth mindset is a perspective that transforms life into a fulfilling journey. Embracing challenges becomes a strategic approach to problem-solving, learning evolves into a continuous pursuit of knowledge, and mistakes serve as valuable lessons in refinement. Adapting a growth mindset in my life would improve not only my attitude towards failures but my ability to learn from them. With a growth mindset rather than giving up when I fall off the wall I can use the knowledge from why I fell to improve the next attempt. Failing = success is only good if you understand failure = learning, as you can't succeed from failure if you don't choose to learn why you failed. In summary, adopting a growth mindset is almost like a compass that guides us through the dynamic landscape of life, turning challenges into opportunities and learning into a lifelong adventure.

Day 15 - Ideal relationships

 I've been thinking about what exactly makes a relationship ideal, whether it's romantic or business. We often picture it as this smooth, no-disagreement scenario, but that seems a bit too perfect, you know? Embracing a growth mindset in relationships is like realizing it's okay to have differences, it's not about avoiding them but navigating through together. The perfect relationship might not be the one without any bumps, it's the one where you both grow through the disagreements. It's like acknowledging, "We see things differently, let's figure this out and learn from it.". Today's reflection is making me value the real, imperfect, and authentic side of relationships a bit more. It's like understanding that growth isn't just a solo journey, it's something you do together, even when things aren't picture-perfect.

Day 20 - "What if" Game pt.2

 I really enjoyed responding to this question on day 6 so thought I'd answer it again. Obviously my answer is gonna be based on climbing again but this time a little different. I've always wanted to travel the world and see what kind of climbing is offered around the globe. Given unlimited resources and support I would pack all my things, buy a van and travel. I'd start with northern Canada as I've always wanted to see BC, and travel to new places when I feel like it. Life moves so fast in this modernized world so being able to disconnect and go see the beauty the world has to offer and obviously climbing is exactly what I would do.
