WHAT IS A GROWTH MINDSET?

A growth mindset is a mindset that believes abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication, hard work, and persistence. It's the idea that our brains are capable of growth, and that challenges and failures are opportunities for learning and improvement.


THE POWER OF A GROWTH MINDSET

Embracing a growth mindset can have a profound impact on our lives. When we believe that our abilities can be developed, we're more likely to:

1. Take risks: A growth mindset encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and take risks, knowing that failure is an opportunity for growth.

2. Persist in the face of obstacles: When faced with challenges, a growth mindset helps us to persevere, knowing that our efforts will ultimately lead to growth and improvement.

3. Learn from criticism: A growth mindset allows us to view criticism as an opportunity for growth, rather than as a threat to our ego.

4. Develop resilience: By embracing challenges and viewing failures as opportunities for growth, we develop resilience and learn to bounce back from setbacks.

Key Characteristics of a Growth Mindset:

1. Embracing challenges: Viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and development, rather than threats to ego.

2. Persistence: Believing that effort and persistence can lead to improvement and success.

3. Learning from failure: Seeing failure as a chance to learn and improve, rather than as a reflection of one's worth.

4. Open to feedback: Being receptive to constructive criticism and using it as a tool for growth.

5. Focus on progress: Emphasizing progress and improvement over perfection or achievement.
