This is Social Influence - And todays the launch of my first episode Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset.
A growth mindset is the belief that you can achieve anything if you work for it. A fixed mindset is one that assumes abilities and understanding are relatively fixed. Those with a fixed mindset may not believe that intelligence can be enhanced, or that you either “have it or you don’t” when it comes to abilities and talents. Why Your Mindset Matters and How To Improve It. Practice the Growth Mindset . A growth mindset is something you need to practice consistently over time, like anything else. If your limiting beliefs pop up in your mind, remind yourself that your ability is under your control.
Practice the Growth Mindset When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself these three questions:
•What are the opportunities for learning and growth today?
•When, where and how will I embark on my plan?
•When, where and how will I act on my plan?
How Your Beliefs Can Sabotage Your Behavior There are many reasons why it can be hard to stick to good habits or develop new skills. But more often than not, the biggest challenge is sitting between your two ears. Your mind is a powerful thing. The stories you tell yourself and the things you believe about yourself can either prevent change from happening or allow new skills to blossom. If you’re interested in actually sticking to your goals, building better habits, and reaching a higher level of achievement, then you’ll love this episode!
Lets Talk About How Your Beliefs Can Help You or Hurt You The benefits of a growth mindset might seem obvious, but most of us are guilty of having a fixed mindset in certain situations. That can be dangerous because a fixed mindset can often prevent important skill development and growth, which could sabotage your health and happiness down the line. For example, if you say, “I’m not a math person” then that belief acts as an easy excuse to avoid practicing math. The fixed mindset prevents you from failing in the short–run, but in the long–run it hinders your ability to learn, grow, and develop new skills. Meanwhile, someone with a growth mindset would be willing to try math problems even if they failed at first. They see failure and setbacks as an indication that they should continue developing their skills rather than a signal that indicates, “This is something I’m not good at.” As a result, people who have a growth mindset are more likely maximize their potential. They tend to learn from criticism rather than ignoring it, to overcome challenges rather than avoiding them and to find inspiration in the success of others rather than feeling threatened.
Why A Growth Mindset Is Essential For Career Success: Mindset is everything. Whether you’re talking about career success, starting your own business, getting through a tough workout or being a parent, having the right mindset can make the difference between success and failure. How success in almost every area of life can be influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. Once we harness the power of a growth mentality, it can be essential for career success.
It’s not how good you are but how good you want to be that matters.
