“Growth” is one of the most positive words that exists when it comes to discussing your own improvement and wellbeing, and having a growth mindset is associated with learning from experiences (good and bad), identifying ways to evolve how you handle all types of personal and professional situations, and embracing a willingness to take life lessons and apply them to bolster your mindset.
If you’re struggling with finding the balance between charting your own life course and following the road that you think others want you to take, know that the mental health benefits of choosing the former will always far outweigh any benefits you might get from the latter — and it could all tied to the level of authenticity in your life.
