Key Takeaways: Developing Grit According to Ann, you can develop grit by doing the following: Have a growth mindset that recognizes that you can continuously improve your attitude, skills, and knowledge. Treat setbacks as an opportunity to grow and improve. Know your why, which will remind you to focus your efforts on what matters most, compelling you to do the work, take risks, and push forward regardless of how hard the path becomes. Identify a movie character or scene that moves you to keep going and bring that extra effort. Listen to a song or songs that inspire you to push forward regardless of the odds or obstacles. Avoid negative media that can sap your energy and demotivate you. Think of a relative like a parent or a grandparent who embodies grit in your mind. Avoid the "what the hell" effect which is the feeling you get when you’ve already failed so you decide you might as well fail spectacularly. To keep the progress going, manage your slips.
