Stretch

When you excercise, you know that you need to stretch your limits to improve. You push through the last mile, run a little bit faster, lift a little more weights. That way, your body will adjust to handle the load next time. And so you stretch your limits again, and slowly increase your strength and endurance. We learn that difficult and getting tired is a positive thing for us, something to help us grow and get stronger over time. 

What if we started treating our mind in the same way. In order for it to grow, we must stretch it’s capabilities from time to time. Do something we’ve never done before. Take on a task that feels impossible. Have a difficult conversation. Stand up in front of an audience despite our fears.

Few people fear excercise, still they don’t treat their mindset as something they can stretch and grow.

Will you?
