Growth Mindset and what it Means

A growth Mindset is the ability to believe that you can change. This comes in handy when thinking about challenges that you might face in everyday. When facing these challenges you can either believe that you will be stuck the way you are Forever or you can believe that you have the ability to Grow. It can be so easy to just throw your hands up and say >I’m just never going to be able to do this. Well of course things won’t be different with that mentality. Things won’t change if there is no room for change, and the belief that we can change is what a growth mindset is all about. Being in a Growth Mindset is crucial to solving problems and developing our critical thinking skills.

When we are stuck there are a few helpful reminders for staying in that mindset.

3 Reminders to stay in a Growth Mindset

• The first thing is that you are going to be bad at this, it’s your first time doing this, cut yourself some slack.
