Ready, (Mind)Set, Go

It goes without saying that we are all more than ready for the fresh start 2021 is offering — but are you in the right mindset to make the most of the year ahead?

Fill up on your psychological capital, which provides four psychological resources that provide better coping mechanisms. Activating these enhances your mindset: hope, efficacy, resilience, and optimism. (Think of HERO to remember them!) Research has found that people with stronger psychological capital are more dedicated and fulfilled in their lives and careers.

Start small with one simple action to build your psychological capital today:

• Watch a light movie

• Listen to a motivating podcast

• Read something that brings a smile to your heart

• Spend time with a person who uplifts you

Fun fact: When you’re communicating with someone who is happy and smiling, a neutral structure in your brain called the mirror neuron system reacts to that — and you start smiling!

What is one action you plan to take to enhance your mindset this week? I’d love to hear from you!

Hugs and joy
