Feel like things are always going wrong?
Here’s how developing a growth mindset can help.
Nicola says “Developing a growth mindset is all about seeing obstacles as opportunities and embracing challenges. I truly believe that when things go wrong, it’s because something even better is about to go right”
You can’t change what happens…but you can change how you feel about it and what you do about it.
For example; I lost my car, it was a right off. It was very sad to say goodbye to it, it gave me the freedom to be freelance. Losing it meant I lost work and suffered a loss of earnings. However, I chose to see it as an opportunity to get on the ground, walk to places, get public transport and since then I noticed more shops and met people I wouldn’t have if I was driving. I also feel very grateful for my body and my health. The fact it’s spring and the weather is nice and I am out and about feel positive.
I know it won’t be forever but for now I am enjoying this opportunity. It’s not an obstacle. It’s a time to let go of who I was and maybe some of those jobs and start looking for something different.
My top 3 tips for a growth mindset
- Look for the lessons. Even bad things there is something we can learn from it.
- Adapt an attitude of gratitude everyday look for 3 things you are grateful for and you’ll start to see them.
- See obstacles as opportunities because this expands your solution or creative brain and there may be something you hadn’t thought of that may be able to help
