How to encourage yourself

We talk to ourselves - every day.  Some of us do it throughout the day, and we sometimes miss what is happening in the world around us.

Our self-talk helps us make sense of the world we live in, as things happen to us.  The self-talk may not be positive most of time for us.  Yet, these talks shape both our moods and us as people, and help us reach wherever we are today, whether we want to be there or not.  The self talk helps us develop a Fixed Mindset or a Growth Mindset.

 Here's an interesting image sourced from Pinterest.

As you may notice, they are about a growth mindset.  These are some messages you can give (gift?) to yourself as you start your day or plan your next day.  How about reflecting on these questions:

• Which ones would you like to gift yourself today?
• Which ones can wait for another time?  What is the need for them to wait? Any gains?
• What is your plan to gift them to yourself in the coming days?
• Which of your strengths could aid you in making any of these messages a reality i.e. a daily practice?
• Which of your strengths could be coming in the way of you making any of these messages a reality i.e. a daily practice?
• Who in your circle needs to receive any or all of these messages? How much impact would they have on them?
• Who in your circle should you demonstrate one or more of these messages to?

Share your thoughts and responses if you like, and I invite you to think over these messages and questions.  After all, this is about your self-development and evolving to your best self.

Upskilling instead of hiring

Fascinating article that discusses #upskilling of employees based on #potential as well as #performance.

To me, the line "Lead employees to a role they love by helping them identify whether their current role matches their natural interests." talks of building a #strengthsbased #organization. Just substitute the word 'interests' with 'strengths'. Of course, this means you inculcate this in the hiring process first, so that #peopledevelopment becomes more easier.
