Quotations:

“Sometimes we pick up on these things when we are younger and they can be reinforced as we grow older (...) and become true. The trap of Fixed Mindset is: If you don’t believe you can learn something you’re going to end up being right.”

 “We have to change our relationship with Struggle (...) there’s no way to get good at something if you’re not willing to struggle (...) it’s not something we should be afraid of.”

 “(...) The better approach is not to suppress stress and fear, it’s to accept it. It’s to reappraising it. And understanding that is human and okay to feel that (...)”

 “One step to Resilience is the willingness to feel.”

 “You don’t have to try all sorts of new stuff. It’s just like - What is one little thing you could try today? - And keep stacking those up, and then overtime that’s how we make a BIG change!”
