On a scale of 1 to 10, what would you say is your level of grit? Everyone has a baseline of grit,

your threshold, your mental toughness as it stands now. Maybe you're a 4 naturally and you'd like to be

a 9. I have the best news. You can work your way to a 9 by pushing yourself consistently, seeing

failure is temporary and an opportunity to learn and by doing things consistently that

make you uncomfortable. When you keep exercising your grit muscle, your number goes up and it

mindset for building grit is by

having a growth mindset. Studies have shown that kids and adults are more likely to get up and

keep trying when they fail because they believe that failure is temporary. We are always learning.

Today, we are talking about getting little habits and routines into place to flex our grit muscle
