From the course: Developing a Problem-Solving Mindset
Take joy in the victory
Taking joy in your victories is a really important step, and it's because it reinforces your success to the rest of your body. It teaches you what it feels like to achieve this level of joy. And when you put those kind of memories into your joints and you put them into your blood vessels and you put them into your mind, that memory last and stays with your body. And therefore, when you come up to your next problem, you want to be able to draw upon those feelings. So you have to take joy in your success because it helps to prepare you for the next challenge ahead. Because ultimately, again, it's helping you create resiliency and it's helping you create joy and it's helping prepare you for the next step. So ultimately saying thank you to the problem and acknowledging it for what it was, I think is incredibly valuable because you never know how the strategies that you employed to solve a problem are going to help you in future problems.
