S4 E9 Good Enough

from The Grow Your Mind Podcast · host Grow Your Mind

Coming first in a race, topping your grade, being the main part in the play, making it into a selective class…..these are all fantastic things, but isn’t it equally fantastic to just be participating? Or is that a nonsensical idea that sounds good but is completely unrealistic? If we aren’t okay with being average, is that somehow putting pressure on all of us and perhaps our mental health too? What if we let go of being the best and celebrate being average and giving things a go? What would that look and feel like? Did you know that Grow Your Mind is a wellbeing program you can get into your school? Written by teachers, for teachers, we have lesson plans, videos, animations, an album on Spotify full of non-painful yet life affirming songs AND we also have a few awards under our belt. Plus we offer workshops for educators and parents. Find out more by visiting GrowYourMind.Life Production  Script - Alice PeelProduction, editing & sound - Lisa Taylor Copyright Grow Your Mind 2023.
