Myths you hold about your brain shape major decisions and ability to perform well. For example, I've worked with many people who have the notion that if they work hard, they'll really get ahead in life. If folks began to work smarter and not harder, they'd accomplish much more and enjoy it, too.Often we work against our brain rather than with it... Working hard indicates folks work long hours, trying to fit a lot in , so to compensate they cut down on sleep. When humans cut down on sleep their mental progress slows. Related to this, folks who work hard often try to do too much in a course of a day so they soon fall under stress, which in turn can lead to medical problems.
Working smarter, may include...
- Questioning your priorities
- Targeting small daily steps toward larger projects
- Organizing spaces for relaxation to be good to you
- Using more of your gifts and talents to generate variation in daily activities
- Reflecting on "Where to from here?"
You might be unaware of the myths you hold about yourself. When I said to Ellen Weber, But, I'm not smart enough... a myth I'd held for years surfaced. At the invitation of Rosa Say to participate in Joyful Jubilant Learning Community's September Signature Event, I share my personal story of how I burst this lifelong myth.
