Growth Mindset: Positive Habits

Growth Mindset: The Biology of Positive Habits

This week I decided to read the article, The Biology of Positive Habits. This article talks about ways to train our brain into creating and maintaining positive habits. This was a great read for me because I tend to cling to some bad habits. The author talks about approaching tasks with mindfulness, as this will lower the amount of energy spent on stressing about the future. The two mindfulness tips I thought were most helpful were taking small breaks and exercise. The author talks about how we should step away from a task for a short amount of time. This allows us look at something different and feel calm for a while. The author also says to take up exercise as a way to evoke a relaxed state. I definitely need to take up yoga of some form to calm my stress.
