Making mistakes
Hello
Welcome to my blog.
Making mistakes is a big part of life. I have made plenty of
mistakes in my life and I was able to learn from this. Mistakes are important
are a huge component of school and college because they are all important part
of college. So, I read two articles that go deep into making mistakes.
The first article I read was “Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt
in Creative Work” by John Spencer. http://www.spencerauthor.com/seven-ways-to-crush-self-doubt/ In this article John talks about the seven
ways to stop self-doubt like:
1.
Don’t Compare Yourself to Others: This one I
feel is the most important way to stop self-doubt as comparing yourself to
someone is unhealthy and I think it’s better to compare yourself to how you
were yesterday.
2.
Abandon
Perfectionism
3.
Be Vulnerable to a Trusted Community
4.
Embrace a Growth Mindset
5.
Set Goals that are within your control
6.
Treat Your Work Like an Experiment
7.
Trust Yourself: This another important part of stopping
self-doubt. If you don’t trust yourself and be scared that you will mistake
this only cause you to limit yourself and in turn, make the mistake of not
doing enough because you don’t trust yourself.
The other article I read was How to Get Past Negativity Bias
in Order to Hardwired Positive Experiences by Katrina Schwartz. https://www.kqed.org/mindshift/44408/how-to-get-past-negativity-bias-and-hardwire-positive-experiences This article
really goes deep into how our mind works and how are mind first thinks negatively
instead of thinking positive. “self-directed neuroplasticity. To grow inner
strength, people have to turn experiences (short-term memories) into activated
states that are installed traits (long-term and implicit memories)”. This quote
sums up the article in how people need to build strength by turning are
experiences into traits.
These articles go deep into how mistakes and the fear if it
holds us back and we can overcome it.
