Alright fam, I've been a bit more MIA in the past two weeks doing things in the outside world, buuuuut I'm still here and still planning on contributing to skool, still planning on nurturing relationships, collaborating and adding value when I'm here. I suspect that I'll be a little less active for the next few weeks due to some other aspects of life being tended to, but I'm not gone. :) Just wanted to send you guys some love, even if I've been a bit more 'quiet'. :) Again, I still plan on being here and will likely add some things, but please feel free to post some things as well in the meantime if you are so inclined. Love you guys!! Unrelated to what I just stated, I noticed that in some of your profiles, you have your personality type added and I'd love to hear and learn more about you! QUESTION: What is your personality type? Do you agree with it? I'm an INFJ (also known as The Advocate or The Counselor--fitting). I definitely embody this. Since the letters are on a spectrum (0-100%), my goal is to be as close to center for all the letters. Not forcefully, but naturally. I want to be able to embody the strengths of each and work through some of the challenges that I also have. It's been interesting to see the progression of this for myself over the years.

What's something that's true that you wish wasn't? or What's something that's not true that you wish was true?

In @Steve Webb 's 30daychallengers group, some of us are doing a side challenge and reading the book "The Scout Mindset". It's been an informative read and had me reflecting on approaches to integrating new/challenging information, challening beliefs, and just overall communication with others. Below I'll do a quick overview of the difference between solider and scout mindset. Curious about where everyone fits and what you all think about this. :) 🪖 𝕊𝕠𝕝𝕕𝕚𝕖𝕣 𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕤𝕖𝕥 The goal here is to defend-protecting our current beliefs like territory. Attributes of this mindset include arguing in order to win, looking for confirming evidence, can feel threatened by opposing views and doubling down when challenged. Think debates. The pros related to this type of mindset are: having strong convictions, there's a loyalty to values and people can be decisive under pressure. The cons to this mindset include having blindspots, having a hard time updating beliefs with new information, and can have the tendency to escalate conflict. 🧭 𝕊𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕤𝕖𝕥 The goal here is to see clearly. The point is to get a clear view of the map even if it challenges you. Integrating new information. Attributes of this mindset include being curious about opposing views, being on the search for disconfirming evidence, being comfortable with saying "i was wrong" or "I've updated my beliefs", and being able to adjust beliefs with new information. The pros related to this are that it contributes to more accurate (or updated) thinking, it's growth oriented and it can build trust because the other person feels heard. The cons are that it can feel destabilizing, it can contribute to slower decision making, and it can be perceived as less certain. --- Here's the thing...We all use both of these. The questions become "when" and "why".

Let's play a little game! :) The would you rather game, but of course...with a psychological bent, because why not? 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿… 1. Always be deeply understood by a few people OR widely admired by many but rarely known? 2. Love others but not experience someone's love in return or be loved by others but you don't experience love towards others? 3. Have total emotional self-awareness OR never overthink anything again? 4. Be respected but slightly intimidating OR adored but underestimated? 5. Always attract emotionally unavailable people OR always be the emotionally unavailable one? 6. Be emotionally intelligent but exhausted OR blissfully unaware and well-rested? 7. Be confident in private but awkward in public OR magnetic in public but insecure alone? 8. Be known for your softness OR known for your strength? 9. Be ghosted OR have to ghost someone kind? 10. Have a theme song play every time you enter a room OR a narrator describe your thoughts? (What would your theme song be?) Drop your answers below! Bonus: Which one made you pause the longest and why?
