Mindsets that help us become our best

This article has great tips for sticking with any goals that we set on our journey to become our best.  Not only do I love how Doing Good Together tied together the articles mention of triathlon goals with the key ingredients for growing kindness in our families, but I really like the focus on the the "growth mindset":

We can help ourselves adopt a growth mindset—and it’s particularly important to do so when beginning something new. If you go out for a run and find that you can’t jog for longer than a minute (like me!), resist the instinct to say, “See, I knew I wasn’t meant to do this!” and head back inside to sprawl on the couch. Instead, use a growth-mindset response. Tell yourself, “I’m on day one of getting stronger and faster. Go me!” It’s important that you’re patient and kind to yourself. You’ll be making serious progress before you know it.
