In today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about how powerful curiosity is and why we should develop it.

This is because curiosity is at the heart of some of the most essential skills, like resilience and problem-solving.

 We all know how essential it is for us to be resilient because it helps us survive setbacks or difficult times coming out stronger, and empowers us to grow from those experiences.

And when it comes to problem-solving, it is a much-needed skill in every area of our life. We always need to find a solution when we encounter a problem whether it’s small or trivial.

So let’s highlight the power of curiosity in this episode.

Topics discussed in this episode: 

• [00:28] The power of curiosity and why it is one of the most important skills
• [01:03]  How curiosity fuels resilience and problem solving
• [05:04] The difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset
• [06:54] Clarity in Business

“We can develop our curiosity and train ourselves to be more curious.”

“Resilience is essential for us to not just survive setbacks or difficult times, but to come back stronger, and to grow from those experiences. That's resilience.”

“Problem-solving is an essential skill because it's needed in every area of our life.”

“When you're in a fixed mindset, you're not likely to be curious, because you're probably just assuming that this is the way things are, and there's no way to change it.”

“Most of us will have a mix of growth and fixed mindsets, in different areas of our life.”

“If you can catch yourself and notice when you have a fixed mindset, or even just noticing when you have a problem that's difficult to solve, then you can bring curiosity to the situation, and start asking questions.”

“Try to understand all the aspects of the problem, brainstorm all the possible solutions you can think of, even the ones that seem silly or stupid.”

“Whenever we aren't sure what to do in our business, we talk about how we need clarity. And if you think about it, that is problem-solving. The problem is we don't know what to do. And clarity is the solution, or at least we think it is.”

In today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about how to create a productive mindset because the thoughts we think affect the actions we take (or don't take). 

We often get stuck thinking thoughts that prevent us from taking the actions that lead to the results we want.

So today, I'm going to offer you 3 questions you can ask yourself to determine if a thought is productive or not and to reframe thoughts that help create a productive mindset - which will help you move you forward.

Topics discussed in this episode: 

• [01:04] Questioning your thoughts
• [05:29] Productive thoughts that help you achieve your goals
• [06:00] Making sure thoughts and feelings are aligned
• [08:40] A practical example of how to create a productive mindset using these 3 questions
• [13:23] Episode recap

“The thoughts we think affect the actions we take or don't take.” 

“A lot of the time, we can get stuck thinking thoughts that prevent us from taking the actions that would lead to the results we want.”

“If we repeat things often enough, it just it gets into our subconscious.”

“Our feelings impact the thoughts we have. So it's really important to make sure that both your thoughts and feelings are aligned.”

“Everything that we think and do, it should all be serving the purpose of creating a life that we love living.”

In today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about giving yourself permission to let things go.

You may or may not have noticed that I didn't release a podcast episode last week. That was because I was working on a project, and I didn't anticipate how long it was going to take me to complete it.

So, I had to let things go. I had more on my plate than I could handle.

And letting things go can look like two different things, it can either look like not doing something at all or letting go of the need for it to be perfect. So, let’s talk about that.

Topics discussed in this episode: 

• [00:54] Why I didn’t release a new episode last week
• [03:09] Letting things go and prioritizing 
• [06:01] Letting go of perfectionism
• [07:24] Protecting yourself and your health

“I realized that letting things go can look like two different things, it can either look like not doing something at all or letting go of the need for it to be perfect..”

“Letting go of things can mean learning how to accept and recognize when things are good enough. Because when you have perfection, perfectionist tendency, it's highly likely that your standards for good enough are way higher than other people.”

“Remember, it’s okay to give yourself permission to just let things go.”
