Growth Mindset: Explore the Cats

Image
Even though I am allergic, I love cats. So I'm very excited to look at some cute inspirational cats today. This cat is from here , and it caught my eye because of how fast it is zooming. After I clicked the link and learned the cat's name is Mrs. Bean, I now love this cat even more than before. A lot of cats are indoor creatures, so I liked how this cat is outside in the grass chasing her dreams. I support her. Sometimes we need to leave our comfort zones to chase dreams. I like this  little cat because it is small and pretty and also the quote is important too. I tend to think I know everything, and I have a habit of saying "I know" way too much. I will continue learning new things my whole life and just because I don't know everything doesn't mean I'm dumb, it means I'm a person.  This cat made me laugh, because it looks so serious looking a itself in the mirror.

Growth Mindset: Mantra

I am a huge fan of inspirational quotes and cute graphics. I have an entire pinterest board dedicated to it, in fact. One of my favorite quotes is from the underrated Disney movie, Meet the Robinsons . Canva graphic created by me After the main character's invention fails in front of his new family, he is not only embarrassed but discouraged from trying again.

When I'm stressed about homework, get rejected for a position, or just feeling sad, -  it's good to remember to keep moving forward.

It's very easy for me to cry or breakdown when I'm struggling, and most of the time I just want to call my mom so she can do whatever I failed at for me. High school was easy for me, and I never really understood growth mindset until I came to college and had to try new things. I am currently on my third major, and that's kind of freaking me out. At this point if I don't like what I'm doing I think I'll stick with it anyways because I don't want to fail and try a different career path. This year I'm in four advertising classes, and I'm really nervous that they might be hard and that this major is not for me. Watching the growth mindset videos helped me realize that it's okay if I struggle with something I'm supposed to be good at. Even if my major is perfect for me I still need to learn and grow and challenge myself. This semester is going to be challenging for me, I can a...
