In this video, we explore the acronym W.I.P, which stands for "Work In Progress". We'll discuss how a W.I.P mentality can help us to let go of the expectation of perfection and focus instead on progress. We'll also explore how practicing being a W.I.P can help us to cultivate self-compassion and resilience in the face of setbacks + challenges. By the end of this video, you'll have a new perspective on how to approach your own personal growth and development with a powerful tool for embracing imperfection and showing up as your authentic self.
Mary and Jill are social, emotional learning experts. They work with teen and tween girls mostly. Today they are introducing whip. What it stands for is work in progress. We always have things to refine about who we are. When you adopt that mindset things can totally change.
Have you ever heard the old analogy? You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Well, we are here to bust that myth right out the door. And who are we? Well, my name is Mary. This is my best friend and business partner, Jill. And we are social, emotional learning experts. We work with teen and tween girls mostly. And what we know about them is they operate from a very fixed mindset. Can't is a large part of their vocabulary. If they come across a challenge, they like to turn around or sit down on themselves because it's too hard.
But what we also know is that mentality comes from somewhere, and usually that's at home with mom and dad. So we also know we need to teach these tools and tricks to all of the adults in their life as well. We have been creating a series around our favorite acronyms, something that is easy, digestible to understand and take action. So today we are introducing whip. Not whip, it's wiP. We like to gift this to girls because it feels like such a light bulb moment to them. And what it stands for is work in progress.
We are always a work in progress. Where we get caught up in life is thinking that there is a destination, that all of the sudden we are going to reach it and we have arrived. But realistically, the fruit is in the journey. Those were the lessons come up. And we are always a work in progress to get there. We always have things to refine about who we are and how we're showing up in this world. So no matter your age, we're busting that myth that I'm just old and I can't learn something new or change my mind or my perspective.
You absolutely can. By adopting, having a growth mindset and knowing that you are a work in progress. So today, where, where can you shift your perspective? Maybe it's in a conversation with your partner, or maybe you're really challenged by a co worker or your child. If you're a parent, this mindset is going to help you move forward and open and receive just what's in front of you. Opportunities in listening better or back, contributing differently. You are a work in progress. You haven't arrived.
And when you adopt that mindset, things can totally change. So let's all go be sharp as whips today and we will see you on the next video. Bye, everyone.
