Focus on solutions, not problems - Growth Mindset Psychol...

What this episode covers

Our obsessions lean towards the problems and unsettled areas of our life. However, trying to control them is often impossible when we focus too much detail on them and don't get perspective on how to really fix them. We learn how to build awareness and find solutions to fix our problems with our strengths and channel attention to useful behaviors. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking Watch the pod - YouTube - Growth Mindset Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:32 The problem learning to surf 02:54 Don't look up 04:25 Surfing is like driving 05:39 Surfing and driving is just like any sport 05:52 Life analogy 06:21 Running a business analogy 07:49 Get some perspective 09:25 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
