Feedback Gallery
I thought that the feedback gallery provided a good sense of the type of comments that we should be leaving on one another's blogs. It is better to be specific in the questions that you ask and your reasonings behind asking them, so that the author is able to fully understand how you have perceived their writing and how they can help answer your questions.

"If you accept a limiting belief, then it will become truth for you." Louise Hay
This quote came from the article How to Let Go of Negative, Limiting Beliefs About Yourself By Mike Dileone.
This article hit home for me. I am 100% guilty for allowing myself to be defined by labels of todays world. The author describes this belief to be what holds people back from unleashing their greatness within.
As the years go by, those labels, whether true or not, become sewn into the fabric of our being. They become part of our core, the vocabulary we use about ourselves, and the thoughts we hold of ourselves.
This quote came from the article How to Let Go of Negative, Limiting Beliefs About Yourself By Mike Dileone.
Mike Dileone lists 4 strategies for eliminating negative core beliefs:
1. Write down or say out loud the belief- but really, do both
2. Think back to the earliest time you can remember having that belief
3. After you've replayed it in your mind, put yourself in the other person's shoes and reframe it
4. Challenge the belief.
Article #2 that I read was from inc.com called Want to Raise Successful Kids? Science Says Praise Them Like This (but Most Parents Do the Opposite)
I chose this article because I think that these negative thoughts and perceptions are first formed through childhood. This article discusses the differences in a fixed vs a growth mindset. A fixed mindset is the belief that a person's skill is almost entirely innate. A growth mindset is the belief that achievement is much more variable, and that intelligence and problem-solving abilities can be developed over time. In a study of 7th graders that were followed for two years, Dweck's research indicated differences in the following aspects of the two groups of students:
- goals
- attitudes toward effort and failure
- boredom and difficulty
I think that it's interesting how it's suggested to ask one another what is something that everyone struggled with that day instead of asking how their day or school was.
"Praise your child explicitly for how capable they are of learning rather than telling them how smart they are."
