Session: The Courage to Fail: My Journey to Resilience through Growth Mindset
Do you always lean into challenging opportunities? Do you hold yourself to high standards? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to succeed? If so, you are one ambitious person and most probably an over-achiever! But beware - you might be at risk of anxiety and burnout. In this talk, I'll share my personal journey from anxiety to developing resilience and balance. I'll explain how cultivating a growth mindset helped me let go of perfectionism, embrace vulnerability, and find the courage to fail. I'll discuss how reframing failure as essential for growth builds resilience and a commitment to lifelong learning.Key Takeaways
- Pushing yourself is good, but not at the expense of your mental health
- Growth mindset helps reduce anxiety and build up resilience
- Failure is a normal part of life and is essential for growth and learning
