When you’re facing your emotional flare gun when a problem arises, think about this. How long would you allow a pain point to go on, and how much damage could it cause in your life instead of just resolving it?

This episode is a follow-up from setting the stage for having a growth mindset in episode 34. We used James Anderson’s Mindset Continuum Tool for mindset management and identified some of our fixed mindset thoughts which causes discomfort.
