Growth Mindset
Honestly when I took the mind set survey I was split down the middle. I was not surprised. I have been thinking about it a lot and I can see when I'm teaching that I am in growth mode. It helps too see small changes and know that from hour to hour throughout the day I use opportunities for improvement. In my home life I feel fixed though. I realize that I need to spend more time on my emotional health. I am a perfectionist and I suffer from low self esteem and poor decision making skills. I have gotten better but I want to let my past go. My family is fixed. They don't see it but I do. I want more. New. Different. Fulfilling. For me the only way to grow is to let go and move forward. Seems strange to out grow your family bit that's where I am.

I understand your desire to help your family ‘see’ new possibilities and to want to help them grow. It’s hard to watch people that you love ‘stuck’ in their own beliefs. You may need to give yourself space while you continue on this journey, but I bet you’ll return to your family with a new level of comfort with their own choices in life, and what life has to offer for them. Save your energy on yourself and your students right now. You can encourage your family to grow after you have reached your own personal goals. Trudge forward and don’t look back.
