The positivity of having a growth mindset

Hay everyone✨!

I’m so lucky to be taking part in this amazing IDG Course.

I have not only learned a lot from it, but I have also learned things about myself whilst going through it.
The thing I want to talk about today is the beauty of having a Learning mindset and openness. 

‘Having a basic mindset of curiosity and a willingness to be vulnerable and embrace change and grow.’ In order to achieve this, it's important that your self of self is not based on identifying with a certain set of beliefs as that can hold back your curiosity.

The thing about me is that I’ve always been willing to learn, to know more, to embrace all changes that come my way and to look at every feedback I get as an opportunity to learn. 

Because that’s what feedback is, it’s someone sharing what you can improve on, learn better or even feel more confident in your abilities. 

And if we make mistakes, do not look at them as failures, but rather an opportunity for growth.
There is an amazing Forum post on How to Cultivate a Growth Mindset to Increase Overall Well-being, I do recommend reading it, it’s very informative and helpful. 

I consider myself to do my best to learn from my mistakes to make sure I don’t repeat them and to have role models in my life who are kind, caring, supportive and all that I aspire to be.
Having a role model in our life, or being surrounded by people that lift you up, encourage you and teach you things that you perhaps didn’t know about before is absolutely amazing. 

Cultivating a new mindset takes time and effort, and I believe that that is something I’ve continuously done over the years.
Learning is a gift we can give ourselves freely, no matter how long it takes or how challenging it is, this gift is always a wonderful present to ourselves.

So, how do we change to a growth mindset?
For me, it was positive thinking that has helped me get my growth mindset, but that does not mean that you need to use it for you to attain this growth mindset as well.
I find that positivity expands my growth mindset, that’s for sure. 

How do we accept feedback?
I’ve found it helpful to make sure that I am open to the feedback I’m given and to know that this is my opportunity to grow and learn, growing and learning is something that will always get me far, perhaps it can help you too. 

All in all, having a growth mindset is a beautiful thing that helps us expand our knowledge and improve ourselves to become better.

I wish you all a wonderful rest of your day🤗
