EC Growth Mindset: How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut

This week I read the article, How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut from the HBR. One thing this article confirmed that I already had an idea of was that creativity can fade when you're in a rut. It's really easy to be creative when you are faced with a new problem, placed in a new environment, or starting a new experience. But as time goes on, you can often find yourself in a rut and it becomes hard to be creative. I think creativity is something that is very important in maintaining your sanity. School and work can be really overwhelming, and while this is important too, sometimes you need a break from all this so you can just focus on the things and ideas that make you who you are. Some things this article suggested you do were meet new people, capitalize on your obstacles, and share what you know. By setting aside time to do things you love and talk about things your passionate about can really help your overall growth mindset.

Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of...

Week 3 Story: The Parable of the Pups

There once was a family of purebred French bulldogs. They were very well off but they had never been challenged, and the mother and father began to worry that her pups were going to turn out spoiled and rude. The father was always out hunting for food for the family, so usually the mother was with their three pups. It had been a long time since the pups had seen their father. One day a dog who looked like their father began to walk towards their house, however, it was actually a mutt. The pups saw him in the distance and ran to greet him because they were overjoyed that their father had returned! They each brought with them a present to welcome him home with. The first pup brought his favorite toy with him, the second pup brought her favorite brush with her, and the third pup brought with him the most delicious treat that he had been saving to eat after they finished their chores. When they approached the dog that looked like their father they began to realize that this dog was no...
