Episode 085: Option B

Becky and Diana explore the correlation between being open to different options and our ability to move through tough situations.  Leaving room to find other options is the true test of a growth mindset. When considering other options we need to focus on what we want to accomplish the most. Being immersed in a situation makes it hard for us to see our options. We don't have control of every situation, but we do have control of our response to them. Three beliefs that can keep us stuck are personalization, pervasiveness, and permanence. Radical self-forgiveness reminds us that we did the best we could with what we had in each situation we found ourselves in. There is always room for other options. Just because a situation is negative doesn't mean there can't be positive outcomes. We are more than what happens to us. We can't force change.
