Shoremates,

In Chapter 6, we cover relationships (romantic and otherwise.)

Shout out to this podcasts sponsor, Nautical Teas.  Gourmet, delicious, loose leaf teas.  Each tea you see at www.nauticalteas.com has been handcrafted with you in mind.  If you love tea and this podcast, check it out today.  

In this episode, we talk about how a fixed and a growth mindset make an extreme difference when it comes to our everyday relationships and how we interact with others.   

Action Items:

1. In your relationships, both romantic and in friendships, where do you see yourself in the fixed or growth mindset category?  If it is fixed, what can you do to move towards growth.
2. What do you feel towards others in a relationship when they are better than you?  Do you feel genuinely happy, or jealous?  If you feel jealous, picture your partner or friend succeeding in something, and imagine yourself feeling genuinely happy for them.  Do this every day until you can do it naturally.
3. If you’re an educator or in an environment where you see people getting bullied, I highly recommend getting this book and reading this chapter to see Dr. Dweck’s advice in dealing with bullies in non violent ways. 

Shoremates, once again, I understand that this episode can be a lot, as it can challenge entire belief systems from when you were growing up.  Relisten to it as much as you need to, give yourself grace, and I would highly recommend adding this book to your book shelf to see her studies yourself.

Always, always remember.  

You’ve got this.
