Developing A Growth Mindset

I don't usually go all crazy posting. Lately I've had a lot to say, I guess.
A lot of things going on internally and externally.
It's like the more goes on internally, the more goes on externally.

I feel like this morning ritual is helping me, a lot.
In ways that I don't even understand, yet.
I'm hoping to get better at it as time goes on
so that it doesn't take as long as it has been taking.
I haven't been doing the mirror work, yet.
I tried it a couple of times, but it still feel weird. I'm not used to it,
but I'm opening a dialogue with myself which is good. It's a start.

My cousin contacted me today to thank me for the pictures I sent to him.
Been in contact with a friend who has been inspiring me
and supporting my growth in little ways.
We hadn't spoken in a while. We're on a similar path.
Rare to connect with people who are on similar paths.

He wrote a post about developing a growth mindset.

"You can only be as successful as you're willing to grow, 
so you must work on developing the proper mindset everyday.

Developing a new mindset isn't always easy 
and the conflict of your new mindset clashing with the old mindset 
can lead you astray, if you haven't developed awareness of your MINDSET.

You must believe in yourself 100% or you will get stuck 
in a cycle of self-sabatoge.

You can grow your mindset by identifying and removing 
your LIMITING BELIEFS! 

Ask yourself"what are my beliefs"? Are they serving me?
Are these beliefs keeping me from reaching my potential?

By doing this everyday, you will develope a "GROWTH MINDSET" 
and instead of getting discouraged and thinking it's too difficult a task, 
you'll learn to work through your own challenges with ease."

There's been lots of things like this he's written
and getting to talk about this stuff really helps.
We barely know each other, but he's been a great influence on me.

I was getting back into this stuff before we 'met,'
but it just helps to have a friend who totally understands.

Can't say I believe 100% in myself, but at least I recognize the power
in empowering myself now. I knew it was important,
but I didn't realize how powerful it actually is.

When you meet people who are further along the path than you are,
you see that it's possible to go further and it's encouragement and support.
Just reading his uplifting posts and getting a message here and there.
It actually helps more than he knows.

I should go to bed, I am tired. It's been VERY emotional today.
More so than usual. Pretty intense.
I have a feeling that it's going to keep coming, though.
I don't know how much of it I can take.
Like some plug has been yanked and it's just all pouring out.
I wanted to do a broadcast tonight, but it's not connecting.
Maybe I could pre-record or something.
I'm supposed to be working on my verbal skills.
