For a long time, I believed my skills and intelligence were fixed. My black-and-white thinking convinced me that I was either good at something or not. That changed when I had the joy of experimenting with new things. The more I tried, the more I learned that my initial beliefs were unfounded. I discovered that I could learn new skills and adopt a more open-minded approach to life. This shift significantly improved my positivity and mental health, allowing me to see opportunities and enjoy life more fully.
I want to share this with you because if you have been conditioned from an early age to fit in and now fear change, I want you to know that transformation is possible. It is normal to feel scared of uncertainty, but it can also be exciting.
Starting with small steps and little experiments helped me immensely.
There were times when I realised something was not for me, but that was also part of the journey.
