Welcome to 2024

Hello, readers! I am excited to announce that I have moved us away from Substack and over here to the Ghost publishing platform! I was able to import all of you who were with me at the other place, including your subscriptions. I am making some bold changes that I believe will benefit each and every one of us, in pursuit of conscious ways of connecting via the internet.

About News Year's Resolutions:

Happy new year to those who are setting tiny goals — you are very likely to succeed!‍ Happy new year to those who are setting bold goals — you will learn something regardless of outcomes!‍♀️ Happy new year to those who not setting goals — may you live joyfully in the present.These three options sum up the essence of Mindset with Roxanne Darling: choose your own adventure, everything is on a spectrum, there are no rules we all must follow, perfectly reasonable people disagree about everything! Though I offer advice and practical tools for living, I do so with the intention of supporting you in knowing what's the best fit for your circumstance and preference. I abhor those who preach my way or the highway — I much prefer keeping an open mind and learning as we go.I do have one thing at the top of my recommendation list though: read the book called Mindset: The New Psychology of Success! Carol Dweck, a Stanford psychology professor, has done the work to identify the growth mindset (that's the one we practice here) and the fixed mindset, that is all too common and in short, life's own buzz kill. Even if some personality types are more prone to it, none of us are stuck with it, unless we want to be. And I would re-title it, the psychology of happiness and self-acceptance and courage — because those are the qualities that add value whereas "success" is a somewhat over-used, hard-to-define concept.You can get your copy here:

 Love and Happy New Year,RoxP.S. Have you been hearing Arnold Schwarzenegger on the podcasts as he promotes his new book? I find him delightfully grounded and positive. He's also sharing 115 pp of free workouts! He and I are both big fans of taking care of our bodies. You can get your copy here.
