Welcome to The Fully Lived Life podcast! A podcast for those who are longing to pursue the full life and want to break free from anything that holds them back. Listen in as two friends - a psychologist, Dr. Merry and a life coach, Gillian - talk about life, love and purpose - with wisdom, humour and transparency -  through the lens of science, psychology, and life experiences.

Today we dive right into a great conversation that we believe will be a significant concept in getting you to where you want to be.  Dr. Carol Dweck has written extensively on the Growth Mindset.

How would you describe your mindset? Are you easily defeated by failure or do you see failure as an opportunity to learn from? How do you handle criticism? When challenges hit, do they derail you or do you persist through them?

Growth mindset will move you towards, while a fixed mindset will hold you back. In which direction do you want to move in your academics, career, relationships and your personal  health and wellness?

Growth mindset attributes:

Check in with yourself  in the areas of career, relationships, your personal health and well being and see where you may be exhibiting a fixed mindset. Share this with a trusted friend and ask them to help you stay accountable to moving toward a growth mindset.

The good news is that you can change. You can grow!
