How to Move from a Fixed Mindset to Growth What is a mindset and why does it matter? Could your self-beliefs impact your success or failure? According to Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, “your beliefs play a pivotal role in what you want and whether you achieve it. Dweck has found that it is your mindset that plays a significant role in determining achievement and success.” Mindset Mindset: A set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation. According to Dweck, there are two mindsets: fixed and growth. Fixed mindset: Believe your abilities are fixed traits and therefore can’t be changed. You may also believe that your talent and intelligence alone leads to success, and effort is not required. Growth mindset: Believe that your talents and abilities can be developed over time through effort and persistence. People with this mindset don’t necessarily believe that everyone can become a genius just because they try. They do, however, believe that everyone can get smarter or more talented if they work at it.

You can also answer a few questions and see whether YOUR mindset leans fixed or growth. There are tips at the end to help with moving from fixed to growth. finishstrongermindsetcoachin… #finishstrongermindsetcoaching #ultrarunning #runningmotivation #runtips #ultrarunner
