And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.-------What would you do if someone else were beating you up?You'd fight back. You'd get out of the situation. You wouldn't just stand there and take it.So why do we let ourselves get away with it?In this Growth Mindset Tip, part of his 25th Anniversary of his Last Bad Day series, Michael O'Brien shares Tip 34: stop beating yourself up.We're quick to defend ourselves against cruelty from others. But when it comes to the voice inside our own heads, the one telling us we're too much or not enough, we let it run the show. That self-critical conversation isn't harmless background noise. It's actively holding us back from the ripple effect we're capable of creating.You can now download my Pause Breathe Reflect App with Microdose EQ for FREE on Apple’s App Store or Google Play.
