Some techniques that encourage my growth mindset are:
1. I always pray for wisdom to help me navigate challenges, so I can see the bigger picture instead of simply asking for the problem to be removed. (Romans 8:28)
2. I focus on being thankful for everything God has done rather than concentrating on my present needs, which can lead to complaining and negativity. (Philippians 2:13)
3. I encourage myself in the Lord by celebrating every success I achieve. (Jeremiah 29:11)
