271 // How to Practice "Everyday" Courage

<p>Hello and welcome to episode 271 of The Mindful Kind podcast. </p> <p>A few years ago, I completed the <a href= "https://www.viacharacter.org/">VIA Character Strengths Survey</a> and one of my lesser strengths was bravery. Since then, I've been working on this strength and I've found some helpful strategies to build more "everyday" courage. </p> <p>1: Commit to doing one small thing regularly that makes you feel a bit nervous. <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/p/CMRaRvujpS_/">Read this Instagram post for ten more ideas!</a></p> <p>2: Accept imperfection. Be sure to check out episode 204 of The Mindful Kind podcast called 6 Steps to Overcome Perfectionism and a book called "Mindset" by Carol Dweck. Imperfection can be a normal part of being more courageous, so it's important to learn how to navigate it well.</p> <p>3: Engage in extra self-care to support yourself after you engage in acts of courage. It can be tough going outside your comfort zone, so make sure to look after yourself.
