Ep 118: Thoughts That Create A Growth Mindset Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

If you've listened to The Perfectionism Project before you'll know that what I teach isn't how to 'overcome' perfectionism but how to create a growth mindset. I teach this way because creating a growth mindset is something positive you can focus on AND because if you're able to get into a growth mindset, your perfectionist tendencies will naturally fall away.

But how do you actually create a growth mindset? I've shared my thoughts on this before but in this episode, I want to talk about the exact thoughts that create a growth mindset and a growth mindset project of my own. If you want to be more successful and actually appreciate that success, this episode is for you!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

How to create your own growth mindset project
Why perfectionists never feel satisfied with their goals
The exact thoughts that create a growth mindset + the thoughts that don't
The power of asking yourself better questions
How to skip over the self-doubt when you set a big goal

Where confidence comes from and why that's important

Ep 113: The Point of Goals May 19, 2019

Show notes

I have a non-negotiable rule with my coaching clients - they must have one clear goal they're working towards. So always, without fail, we do that challenging task in our first call together.

My clients want to set multiple goals, they want to set vague goals, they want to set no goals. And to be honest with you, I find myself squirming away from goals too. If we're in a fixed mindset, goals make us feel vulnerable. Goals might create evidence that we're not good enough - so we try to avoid them.

But there's a very good reason that I insist my clients and the women in my membership have one clear goal to work towards. And that's what I'm talking about in this episode. Tune in to learn about the point of goals and why they're so powerful.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

Why it's important to have one clear goal, even when you're resistant to choosing one
The sneaky ways that perfectionists sabotage their goals
Why goal-setting and self-worth are not related
Why I never set myself 'realistic' goals
The difference between striving from ambition and striving from lack
What will happen if you don't have goals
