GROWTH MINDSET VS. FIXED MINDSET”  “Carol Dweck in her 2006 book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.”

Defined: Someone with a growth mindset views intelligence, abilities, and talents as learnable and capable of improvement through effort. On the other hand, someone with a fixed mindset views those same traits as inherently stable and unchangeable over time.

Why We need a growth mindset…. It leads to Resilience—the capacity to recover from and move through difficult situations

Example of Fixed Mindset: My historic approach to Math…..until I met….Calculus

Example if Growth:  Watching the local Orchestra Practice, Cooking (Yes, I’m a bit critical of myself), My athletic performances

  When I practice guitar / singing, I choose pieces that are just outside of my comfort zone.  This forces me into a growth mindset.

One key tip towards implementing:  Use the Phrase“Yet” more often.  E.g. I don’t speak Spanish….YET, vs I Can’t speak Spanish.

How has the podcast been an experiment in this?

“Releasing B+ content” on Time!!

I want massive amounts of editing and musical transitions….this….takes….tons… of time.

Why you need to write it down!!  Little Secret:  You do NOT need to find the answer.  You only need to properly format the question in a way that appeals to your curiosity.  This will promote subconscious reflection which can often lead to solutions.
