Growth Mindset

Here's a good video from the pioneer of Growth Mindset research, Carol Dweck, explaining how to use Growth mindset vs. a Fixed Mindset.

I used to always have a fixed mindset on certain things, especially when it came to reading books, whether that be in college or in life (personal development books). I always told myself "I'm a slow reader and I've always been like that" or "I think I am an undiagnosed dyslexic so I won't read." This was my Fixed Mindset speaking. This mindset hindered my learning capabilities and in turn had me miss out on invaluable lessons.

Lately, I've shifted my mindset to a Growth Mindset and this involves me problem solving different ways I can learn as opposed to reading. I asked myself "Although I read slower than others, how can I still learn the material? Because I know I need to in order to benefit myself." One of the ways I solved this problem was to listen to audiobooks or recordings instead. I was always good at listening to others, so I used this strength as a solution to continue learning.

This applies to other things in my life, especially when it comes to learning new things. Having a growth mindset is essentially being out of your comfort zone and doing it so you can become a better version of yourself.

Have you ever experienced this before or are you currently experiencing moments like this? Let me know I'd love to hear your stories!
