“Growth Mindset” is a term you often hear within the world of education, especially when looking for ways to improve academically. But what exactly does it mean, and why is it so important to have a growth mindset. Growth mindsets understand the importance of persistence and determination.

Why is a Growth Mindset Critical to Your success?

With a growth mindset you are no longer put inside the box of hopelessness. You think outside the limitation box. Failure is less threatening and is no longer an option. You are more willing to embrace your flaws and imperfections.

Feedback and criticism are no longer your fear. In fact, to take feedback as a learning opportunity and you continue to learn and grow throughout life. To develop a growth mindset is worth the time and effort because:

• Change you’re your perspective and cultivate self-acceptance, as approval from others and fear of embarrassment prevents a growth mindset.
• When learning something new, view challenges as opportunities
• View errors and mistakes as lessons earned.
• Redefine what failure means to you.
• Remember that patience is key.

Growth Mindset Versus Fixed Mindset

American psychologist Carol Dweck explains the importance of gaining a growth mindset. He elaborates that there are two categories of mindsets – a growth mindset or fixed mindset. These mindsets are based on the individual’s behavior and their reactions to failure. People who have a “fixed mindset” believe that intelligence and other abilities are “fixed” and cannot change. Fixed mindsets are unproductive. These folks worry more about looking smart versus people with growth mindsets worry more about learning and developing skill sets. They know and grow with the flow.

Three Benefits of a Full-Figured Growth Mindset

• Improved self-esteem.
• Learn brand new skills.
• Accept new challenges.

Examples of A Fixed Versus Growth Mindset

A person with a fixed mindset may say “I am not a math person” to avoid practicing math. While they struggle with this excuse, they put off the opportunity to learn, grow, and develop new skills. But a subscription to Amazon’s Prime Video channels and watch a yoga class. Take it up a notch and buy yourself a nice yoga outfit.

A person with a growth mindset is willing to dive right in and is willing to tackle math, even if they struggle and fail during their first try. Growth mindsets view failures and setbacks opportunities to grow and see this as a sign to continue to develop their skills. Growth mindsets overcome obstacles when learning something new and developing a new skill.

People with “growth mindsets” believe that intelligence and abilities are developed through hard work and dedication. When you have a “growth mindset” you understand that you improve or learn more, as long as you put in the effort.

Regardless of your body type and size, a growth mindset is what you should aim for. When you embrace a growth mindset you understand that you will improve and enhance your learning skills as you put in the effort. On the other hand, the fixed mindset is fixed and cannot change because they are set in their ways and are nonproductive. They are unwilling to learn or try new things.
