Growth Mindset
Do you ever find yourself feeling like you’re not a math/science person? Or maybe that your left-brained dominate? Or that you’re just more naturally gifted at some subjects versus others? These thoughts stem from what is known as a fixed mindset as opposed to a growth mindset. Remember that none of us are born good at anything. Every skill you have now is something that you have been practicing and learning for an extended period of time. This means that in order to get good at new things, you just have to keep practicing. The idea of practicing in order to learn new skills is known as the growth mindset. So, maybe you aren’t good at physics yet, but with enough practice you will continue to get better at physics.
Below you will find an infographic and several videos on cultivating a growth mindset.
