I recently read the passage in Unscripted about the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" from Dr. Carol Dweck and the results.
First, I gotta check this one out personally! I'm not just going to take a books word on another book!
But in the purpose of this thread, after reading the summarized results of the study, I thought it would be interesting to test the results in my own life. The results for me are holy shit it's working!
Chores suck. Life with 2 corgis means vacuuming every 3 days and still finding hair in unopened sticks of butter in the fridge. Plus my wife and I didn't put much effort into household upkeep anyways. Before we would just say here's your chores, thanks, I appreciate you cleaning up, and yet clutter remained everywhere. But then I changed my phrasing by acknowledging the result but I emphasized praise on the effort. 10 days later she said our house is cleaner, we both seem happier, and our relationship is deeper. And I said yep I agree. My experiment is working. We should keep doing more!
Hope that brings a smile to you like it does for me.
