Going From a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset

Lesson #1: growth is not linear. You will not improve drastically overnight. As I’ve stressed this before, things take time and consistency and concentration.

A fixed mindset is basically a belief that the person you’re born as - your intelligence and talent - are fixed. They cannot be changed, no matter what.

Science has shown that this is not true. It’s 100% possible to get smarter over time and with dedicated effort.

This is what a growth mindset is - believing that you can be better over time, and that your current level of intelligence and talent is temporary.

People with fixed mindsets are insecure, and it shows. Fear of failure; taking constructive criticism to heart; feelings of jealousy when someone they know is doing well… we’ve all known a person like this, and been this person ourselves at some point in our life.

Growth mindset is therefore the opposite but the effects are as grounding; it can help battling anxiety, depression, burnout issues, behavioural issues and so on.

I understand that a lot of you don’t have people in your life with a similar mentality of personal growth. I’m therefore reopening my Discord. My followers can meet, connect and help each other out.

Now, how does one transition from a fixed to a growth mindset?

Here are some things I think could help:

1. Detaching yourself from the definition of failure

If you’ve already decided the outcome of a certain situation without even trying, then you’re still stuck in a fixed mindset. Things like “there’s no point in me applying for that job because I don’t have the skills and I won’t get it anyway” - applying for that job wouldn’t hurt, even if you don’t get it. Stop limiting your opportunities that you never know could actually work out. A growth mindset person will always try to make most of the opportunities they have.

2. Not getting attached to any outcomes

Don’t get attached to favourable or unfavourable outcomes. When something goes well, have gratitude in your heart but don’t let it get to your ego. Life is about constantly learning. Don’t get attached to compliments and don’t get disheartened by criticism.

3. Actively working on yourself

You can learn a language at any age. You can start learning how to dance or sing or ride a horse at any age, if you’re doing it for the pleasure of learning (getting into competitive stages could be challenging if you’re not young). Someone who works on themselves has a growth mindset.

4. Stop self depreciating yourself

If I see one more IG bio that says “I’m so boring uwu” I will literally throw hands. Stop talking shit about yourself. Classic fixed mindset case. It’s childish and people pleasing behaviour.

5. Stop the comparison game

Stop resenting the people around for the good work they do in their life/ if their life is easy. We all have our challenges, whether we show them publicly or not. The more you work on your inner peace and inner self, the less you’ll feel the need to compare yourself to someone else. Jealousy is a disease and a sign of a fixed mindset.

6. Appreciate and thank yourself for being you.

If you’re nice to your mum, siblings, friends when they need your support… you can be nice to yourself too. Growth mindset does not come from berating yourself.

7. Recognise mistakes and take accountability

Admitting that you’re wrong is never easy. However, I’ll always have respect for someone who can admit that they messed up, rather than someone who will make up stories to justify their antics.

8. Provide yourself with at least 3 productive self-care hours a week

Self care here doesn’t mean skin care or hair care. I mean brain care. You feed your brain good things that it needs to stay calm and ever-growing.

These could include: brain games, mediation, a hobby, watching an educational documentary, doing a short online course, reading… anything that’s good for your brain.

9. Stop being a chameleon

Have you ever met those sort of people who will do anything to fit in? It could adopting that group’s mannerisms, thought processes, opinions… now, to an extent, that is normal and subtle. However, when it starts going too far to a point where you can’t be yourself anymore, thats a problem. In my opinion, that’s an example of not being able to practice your growth mindset publicly.

Privately, you may be growth oriented - but it needs to reflect in your words and actions. If you’re holding yourself back in doing certain things because you’re afraid of what other friends will think of you, you need better friends. Embrace people who have a growth mentality.

10. Using social media for better purposes

I made a separate Instagram account where I only follow educational stuff - think history, geography, arts and architecture, science, tech, business - and absolutely no people. It’s my way of using social media to ensure I learn more. Social media may be the devil, but you can be smart and alter it to your purposes, to give you that kick that you need to educate yourself.

Your level of resilience will determine whether you feel worthy and capable of your goals and dreams, or unworthy. Failure is inevitable; it is how you choose to respond to failure that will determine your outcomes.

Mengenai self-blocking, tentang kalimat "aku memang orangnya begini". Dont blame yourself for your incompetence.

Semua orang memang punya sifat buruk mereka bawa dari kecil, tapi itu bukan suatu pembenaran untuk mereka gk mau berkembang dan menjadi lebih baik lagi. Sarannya, bukan rubah sikap mu, tapi rubah dulu pola pikir mu. Bukan kamu gk bisa, itu namanya kamu gk mau.

Catastrophizing: Catastrophizing involves overestimating the likelihood of negative outcomes and imagining worst-case scenarios, which can lead to anxiety and fear.

Mindset: A Guide to Unlocking Your Inner Potential

"Mindset" is a powerful concept that influences our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. It encompasses various attitudes and perspectives individuals adopt towards challenges, success, and personal growth. A growth mindset promotes the idea that abilities can be developed through effort and perseverance, while a fixed mindset assumes innate abilities can't change. The positive mindset emphasizes optimism and resilience, fostering greater chances of success. Mindset can impact all aspects of life, including business, relationships, and health. Books, quotes, and mentors often guide individuals to adopt the right mindset for achieving their goals. Embracing a growth-oriented mindset can lead to transformation and a more fulfilling life.

[Week 5 Critical Thinking] Growth Mindset

Q1. Describe an eventful moment you have experienced in this class, bearing in mind the key ideas of the day.

For me the eventful moment was to go out of class and take different kind of logo. It helps me to see the different kinds of ways to create a logo. With this activity I am looking forward to use my creativity and see how many logo I can create using 1 brand. Growth mindset, I get to challenge myself to use my idea and create a logo. Even if I have a good or bad comment on my drawing, it doesn’t stop me from using my own idea instead of stealing people’s idea. While we have to use our non-master hand to draw, I was in fixed mindset. I thought that I couldn’t do it at first as it was very scribble and all over the place but with a growth mindset, I get to execute the logo and to be honest it does not turn out as bad as I thought it would.

Q2. Include selected images of your personal sketches, and explain them. In particular, which sketches did you like most? Which least? Why?

My group choose oatside for our activity. The left side image is 9 of my idea while using my creativity. Out of all the 9 my favourite is the number 9 as it is giving me the café or hang out space to chill or to do work. So I improvise it and on the right side of the image is the final outcome. What can be better is that the black background can be more of water looking as it is a oatmilk. Or I can also add led light to make it more aesthetic and feel more welcome as it is kind of teenage vibe.

SO I've JUST been actually coming to the understanding that this is my life to do what I want with. Like yeah, the most true things sound like cliches because these truths have been repeated and shared many times throughout history. But this knowledge has come to live in my body recently, and it has to do with a breaking point that I've hit recently that's led me to actually be willing to take action to be/get/ask for what I want, instead of acting in a way that will produce the safest outcome.

The point of my life is not to succeed.

The point of my life is not even to be happy.

The point of my life is for me to be ME. For me to pilot my own body with my own brain and to do things that are honour who I am in the truest way possible.

As Dr. Seuss says, there's no one on earth who is you-er than you. or some shit. Point being, my value is that no one else is exactly me or would choose exactly what i would choose, given my specific conditioning, experience, and pre-disposition.

So regardless of if other people judge me or whether i experience the consequences of social sanctions because of who I am:

If I want to sing out loud at a bus stop, that is what I am meant to do.

If I want to bare my soul to a stranger at the bar who was unfortunate enough to ask my name, that is a part of my purpose.

If I want to create really ugly and untalented art that has little to no meaning, which no one will ever see and which I may not even keep, that is my destiny.

If I feel driven to do absolutely nothing of value with my life but to follow the will of my soul and go wherever it guides me, that is my fucking god-given right.

I actually don't owe it to anyone or myself or the world to be "productive" or "successful" or have a linear journey that goes on in my life, leading to someplace that is "better" than where I started. By existing in the world and society, by experiencing the world as myself, and by learning about human nature enough to not be an asshole to myself or others, I am fulfilling my entire potential as a person with the opportunity to be alive.
