Changing your mindset from fixed to growth is a process that requires self-awareness and agency.
1. Self-awareness: Begin by recognizing your fixed beliefs. Pay attention to when you avoid challenges. Acknowledge these moments without judgment.
2. Challenge Fixed Beliefs: Actively challenge these fixed beliefs. When you catch yourself thinking, “I can’t do this,” reframe it as, “I can’t do this yet.” This small shift in language can make a world of difference.
3. Play at the Edges: Seek out challenges that push you out of your comfort zone. Embracing challenges and getting into action is a powerful way to develop a growth mindset.
4. Learn from Setbacks: Instead of seeing failures as dead ends, view them as opportunities for growth and learning. Analyze what went wrong and how you can improve next time.
5. Cultivate Persistence: Developing a growth mindset requires consistency and persistence. Keep practicing and remind yourself that growth takes time.
RANT to my neighbor who complained that my lawn was turning brown from lack of water. Apparently, he doesn’t pay attention to the high price or scarcity of water these days, but I DO!
RANT to dog owners who think it’s OK to leave bags of dog poop on the trail as long as they come back for them. Imagine if everyone felt as entitled as you! “It’s OK to leave my kid’s poopy diaper on the trail; I’m coming back for it!” “It’s OK to leave a pile of stinking garbage on the trail; I’m coming back for it!” No one should have to look at (and smell) your dog’s poop for any amount of time when they’re out enjoying nature. Pick up after your dog or leave it at home.
RANT to my neighbors who build a fire in their backyard in the evenings. Your smoke comes into our windows at the time of year when we love having fresh air in our homes. Not only does it smell bad, but it is unhealthy. Try thinking of others (especially those with asthma) and go to a campground if you want a campfire!
RANT to those who buy property where tree(s) have been well-established, some for 100 years, to then cut them down. The shade, the neighborhood beauty and the wildlife provided by our trees really matter. If you don’t like tree debris or are worried about branches falling, find a property that has no trees instead of removing our majestic ones from the land only for your personal preference and gain.
I switched to a plant-based diet almost four years ago for health issues. A great side benefit is how much cheaper legumes, grains, seeds, fruits, and veggies are than processed foods and meats. My grocery bill is almost half of what it was before I changed.”

Active listening is so important, especially when dealing with those nearest and dearest to you. Expressing empathy is crucial with the people you want to stay around. Quality time is your favorite bonding experience—so try surprising your pals with an impromptu get-together.
