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 11 Storytelling: The not so Wiley Coyote

Once there was a coyote, and all he wanted in life was a friend. He often caught himself watching all of the other animals, saddened, thinking to himself, "I wish I could fly like the bird" or "I wish I had such beauty as the ." But all of the other animals were warned about the coyotes kind. They were warned to stay away, because he was a dangerous creature. The coyote wanted to prove to the town that he was actually good, so he devised a plan that would surely show all the other animals that he was not bad. The coyote began to gather flowers and plants of such beauty, and he began to weave them into a banner that he planned to hang above the two main trees in the village. As he was setting up this banner, he noticed a roadrunner trot by and as he was admiring him, he forgot to attach the final piece of vine that would fully attach the banner. The other animals began to notice what the coyote was doing so they approached him. As the coyote was standing by, he...
