Move

We moved last Wednesday to another place in the city. I'm slowly getting used to it, but we'll see how I do when I'm alone. Moving in with friends as roommates; I haven't had roommates in ages and ages. It's kind of strange and feels a little like a downgrade. BUT there's a dishwasher and washer and dryer, and there's air-conditioning even in the bedroom. I love those perks.

"Growth Mindset"

I always thought I had what is apparently known as a "growth mindset," but maybe I didn't, or maybe over time, I have changed. Any change to my life makes me way stressed out to the point that I've been living with the main goal of complete relaxation with no disruption. Of course, life happens, and you can't have that completely, but I've been trying to have it as much as possible. I came across this article, and I keep thinking about this paragraph. Maybe it will help me deal with change. (going to see my dad who has Parkinson's and dementia and now lives in a nursing home; moving to another apartment in a couple of months; possibly getting a job; two interviews, etc). All of this stuff is making me super stressed.
"People’s core attitudes fall into one of two categories: a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. With a fixed mindset, you believe you are who you are and you cannot change. This creates problems when you’re challenged, because anything that appears to be more than you can handle is bound to make you feel hopeless and overwhelmed. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. This makes them happier because they are better at handling difficulties. They also outperform those with a fixed mindset because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new."--Forbes
