Send us a textOn today’s Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about learning and growth mindset.Having a growth mindset means that we understand that our abilities can be developed, and that we can actually get smarter. Unlike a fixed mindset that keeps us stuck, believing that our level of intelligence and capability is set in stone from birth, and determines what we can or cannot do.More than anything, we want to keep learning and growing. Success doesn’t necessarily depend on how ‘intelligent’ someone is - it’s often far more important to be persistent, determined, resilient, and to never give up. That’s how we actually make sh*t happen.We hope you’ll find something useful in here.Love,Polly & Lucy xSupport the showOrder my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Download my FREE PDF 'The Top 10 Answers To The Most Irritating Questions That Single People Get Asked On The Regular...& How To (Devilishly) Respond'?

Send us a textOn this week's minisode, I'm talking about pronoia — the opposite of paranoia.When we're pronoid, we believe that life is working out for us, and that everything is happening for our greater good. And when we believe that life is working out for us, it's more likely that it actually will work out for us. Because we become what we believe.If you're rolling your eyes at the thought of this topic, give it a listen anyway.
