Carol Dweck’s work on growth mindset has highlighted the importance of focusing on the process rather than simply judging ourselves by the outcome 👉🏼effort, strategy, persistence, learning and adapting.👈🏼🌱
And a meta-analysis of 138 studies involving nearly 20,000 people found that monitoring your progress can improve goal attainment. 📈
👉🏼Think about what that means in real life.
If you only measure yourself by the outcome, you’re constantly waiting for something outside of your control to tell you that you’re doing well.👀
But if you measure the process too, you have something you can acknowledge every single day:
Did I show up?
Did I learn?
Did I adjust?
Did I try something differently?
Did I keep going?
The outcome still matters to us.
But it doesn’t have to be the only evidence you use to decide whether you’re making progress.
Because when you do that not only are you more likely to stick with it…you’re also more likely to enjoy yourself 🤩
