New Mindset, Who Dis?
Mindset can affect the way that we think about everything. It takes hard work to cultivate a growth mindset. Did you know it IS possible to re-wire our brains to think this way?
What is your mindset?
Fixed Mindset
People with a fixed mindset are discouraged by setbacks and tend to become uninterested and give up.
Fixed mindset people tend to worry more about how they are perceived than people with growth mindsets.
Growth Mindset
Are able to take feedback— The brain is most active when they are being told what they could do to improve.
People with a growth mindset view a setback as an opportunity to grow and be better. They tend to try harder to overcome the problem.
These two different beliefs lead to different behavior, and also to different results.
Step1. No Negative Voice up in huuur’
Listen out for your fixed mindset voice. When you hear that bitchy voice in your head, telling you that you can’t do something, or it would just be easier to give up— reply with a growth mindset approach and tell it that you can learn, you can grow, you are not planted like a tree— you are the sun, you move with the warmth!
Step 2. Live in Choice!
How do you assess challenges, setbacks, and criticism? This is in your control and is a choice. You can interpret them in a fixed mindset and stay stuck in a negative grumpy place. Or you can use them in a growth mindset as signs that you need to jump out of your comfort zone, stretch yourself, and expand your abilities. It’s up to you.
