I had a conversation with my manager this afternoon, in which she recommended a series of online courses for personal development. The first in the series was about developing a growth mindset.

Although “growth mindset” is somewhat of a buzzword, I went ahead and took the course, and I found it worthwhile. Resilience and self-nurturing were among the topics discussed, along with the expectation of always finding something new to learn. I came away feeling encouraged.

Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to encourage self-nurturing and to “give the planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.”
