Day 16: Replace Limiting Beliefs with Empowering Habits

Posted on February 16, 2021February 17, 2021 by Ty

So, today, I read the first chapter of You are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero and I had a deep revelation. I’ll start by quoting the sentence that got me thinking: “The first key to ridding yourself of limiting subconscious beliefs is to…

Day 15: Create a Habit of Positivity

Posted on February 15, 2021February 17, 2021 by Ty

Today’s reflection is a bit different. I’m still reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey, and Covey’s definition of habit has me still processing. Covey defines “habit as the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire,” where knowledge is knowing what to do, skill is knowing how to do it, and…

Intentional Thinking Day 14: Admit What You Don’t Know

Posted on February 14, 2021February 17, 2021 by Ty

Maybe I’m just a cynic, but some days, I look around and think to myself, ‘Humility is in short supply.’ I see so many people pretending to have it all together, afraid to ask for help and to admit when they don’t know something. Honestly, I get it. Humility can be frightening because it requires…

Today, I started reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. I’ve been meaning to read this book for years and I’m so glad that I finally picked it up today, because just a few pages in, I’ve already had my first Eureka! moment. Until now, my purpose in writing this…

Intentional Thinking Day 12: Embrace the Power of Yet

Posted on February 12, 2021February 14, 2021 by Ty

Today’s reflection comes from growth mindset researcher, Carol Dweck’s TED talk, “The Power of Yet”. As a teacher, having a growth mindset is a skill I’ve been instructed to try and instill in my students, but I rarely hear anyone talk about encouraging this thought process to adults. Having a growth mindset is a part…

Intentional Thinking Day 10: Know When to Rest

Posted on February 11, 2021February 11, 2021 by Ty

More and more, I’m reading that happiness leads to productivity and success, whereas bad moods can lead to procrastination and inaction. We can sit down and plan all we want, but if we don’t feel like doing the work, we most likely won’t. Time.com says, “We need to think to plan but we need to…

Intentional Thinking Day 9: Try Thinking “Setback” Instead of “Failure”

Posted on February 9, 2021February 9, 2021 by Ty

Let me be transparent: failure terrifies me. It’s demoralizing, it’s embarrassing, it’s painful, and it’s completely unavoidable. I think only those of us with the thickest skin can walk out of failure unscathed, and let’s face it: we just aren’t all built like that. We’ve all heard the popular adage: “You miss 100% of the…

Intentional Thinking Day 8: Forge Your Creativity

Posted on February 8, 2021February 8, 2021 by Ty

I used to be one of those people who believed that creativity is fixed. And by “used to,” I mean that I was one of those people up until about two years ago. I’d spent my whole life writing and rewriting one story and I believed that that was the only story I would ever…

When you visualize your best life, what does it look like? What does future you look like living your best life? What’s stopping you from being that person now? A few years ago, I went to go see Amy Schumer’s I Feel Pretty in theaters. For those of you haven’t seen it, it’s a movie…
