Personally and professionally we appreciate more than ever that mindset is as important (if not more important) than ability or skill. I am sure that you would agree that there has never been a more critical time to embrace a growth mindset than right here right now. Calling on our personal resilience resources whilst maintaining our mental health, can help facilitate our navigation of the new reality we are all waking up to- a world post COVID.

I hesitate and then cringe at using the word “POST” as I am not sure if this actually exists or is indeed at all helpful. Likewise, common phrases I hear people use right now such as “when we get back to "NORMAL” and “when this is all "OVER” may not be too helpful either. Hanging on to what was and wishing for something different ahead is essentially being routed in the past or transfixed with the future or indeed both. What is the problem with this I hear you say?

Well, clinical psychology studies...
