Building A Growth Mindset |5 helpful practices
Last week, I shared about my dealings with the fixed and growth mindset plus why I started working towards the growth mindset. Simply put, a growth mindset enables you grow and get better while a fixed mindset keeps you stuck and unable to push yourself. In this post, I'd share in more details five practices to help you commit to your growth.

Don’t Feel Like Praying? Try These
One day as I was in bed, going back and forth between sleep (or something else) versus prayer, lowkey wishing prayer cloak will fall on me, I reminded myself that if I actually put some things in place, I was more likely than not to get gingered to pray. So rather than singing "prayer fall on me" in one corner of my mind, I better set myself up to pray.
