Hey There 👋 

Happy Better Yourself Friday! 🎉 As we move closer to the ending of October, it’s time to pause and reflect on one of the most powerful lessons in both life and career. How to turn setbacks into setups for success. Every challenge, delay, or failure you’ve faced isn’t a dead end , rather it’s feedback. It’s an invitation to grow, adapt, and come back even stronger. 💪

Thus, a growth mindset is beneficial. This is the belief that your abilities can develop through effort, learning, and persistence. When you embrace it, failure stops being something to fear, it becomes something to learn from. Think of every challenge this year: exams that didn’t go as planned, opportunities that slipped by, or goals that felt out of reach. Each one taught you something about how to approach the next stage better prepared and more resilient.

Here are three ways for you to develop this type of mindset. Start off by reflecting on your recent setback. Ask yourself what you learned from it. What would you do differently next time? Reflection turns frustration into insight. Secondly, set a stretch goal. Choose one goal that pushes you outside your comfort zone. The aim isn’t perfection but it’s about progress. Lastly, replace ‘I can’t’ with ‘I’m learning to’. The way you speak about challenges shapes your mindset.

When you reframe your thoughts, you change how you approach challenges. As we head into the final stretch of the year, remember this: you’ve already overcome more than you realise. The key to success isn’t never falling, it’s learning to rise every single time. 🌟 So be proud of how far you’ve come, even if the journey wasn’t perfect. Because growth happens in the messy, uncertain, and challenging moments and you’re living proof of that.

So without further ado, here’s another installment of Better Yourself Friday

Let's Gerrit!

Making time for mindset

Shifting your mindset takes more than wishful thinking, it requires you to be intentional about your time, routines, and reflection. It encourages carving out moments for self-awareness, setting aside regular “pause” times to examine your thoughts, and deliberately choosing habits that align with growth instead of just staying busy.

By making your mindset work apart of your schedule, you allow yourself to transform self-improvement from an afterthought into a habit. That way, you’ll be more ready when life changes hit.
