P: Growth mindset equals a positive mindset

Reference:: FleetingNote


Lifehack: Literally frame every difficulty as something positive, do it instantly.

Why? For two main reasons.

Firstly, each challenge contains within itself a potential gem you can use to grow as a person. More on that here:

Secondly, errors/mistakes/problems trigger neuroplasticity, which is conducive to learning and creativity. More on that here:

That said, whenever you feel frustration, anxiety, sadness, fear, tiredness, etc. say to yourself that it’s good because it lets you grow. It’s like a stepping stone for growth; it’s like a quest in a game that lets you level up; it’s like a gem you can turn into a life principle, it’s like a lost fragment of your character that was split in the past and you won it back, it’s like a lost sheep that was found by the shepherd.

So embrace it fully, dive into it, acknowledge it, appreciate it.
