The Importance Of Your Mindset In Anything You Do In Life
There are two distinct approaches to this thing called mindset. And the outcome of each type of thought lies at opposite ends of the spectrum.
The first is a “fixed mindset,” while we call the second one a “growth mindset.” Read on as GenuLines shows you which brings more success in life.
The “fixed mindset” tends to see skills, potential and abilities as pre-determined. So, you can’t improve on them.
The growth mindset is open to the idea that there’s always room for improvement by way of working at it.
The “fixed” category tends to make you feel powerless. In the growth category there’s more optimism about who’s calling the shots so to speak.
But there are a few other big differences in these two attitudes.
The main one is how you view mistakes or obstacles and your attitude toward them.
For example, if you have a fixed mindset, you’re quicker to get discouraged by your first setback. The growth mindset and its optimistic attitude help you “make the best of it.”
Any negativity can turn into a chance to learn and grow. Are you getting the idea that the fixed mindset doesn’t leave much room for growth?
But wait, there’s more!
For one, there’s knowing that your mindset can have a major impact on your health and well-being. A depressed and discouraged attitude can suppress your immune system.
You’re more prone to illnesses. And you might take longer to recover from what your defeated attitude brought you.
With a growth mindset you tend to be sick less often- and happier too.
Experts on the subject agree that you have control over your attitude. Their consensus is that it’s smart to switch out of a fixed mindset.
And you can do it in any phase of your life.
This is good news if you find yourself stuck in the pessimistic fixed mindset. Your fatalistic attitude toward accomplishments and success don’t have to be permanent.
You can always improve.
