Womanly Art Of Self-defense Podcast

Do you have a fixed mindset, a growth mindset or both? According to Dr. Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, it's possible to have one or the other, and sometimes even both! We can have a fixed mindset for a particular area of our life, but have a growth mindset for every other area.  A key thing to remember: Learn to recognize when you're in a fixed mindset. How? Your language will be absolute, and oftentimes negative. For example, "I can't lose twenty pounds. Everyone in my family is just big-boned." "I can't do algebra. I'm not smart enough." "I can't run a mile! I can barely walk a block." People with a fixed mindset don't like challenges, see failure as a threat to their intelligence, and don't see learning as a process. Growth mindset people enjoy the process of learning and believe that, with effort, success can be theirs. Failure is viewed as a necessary part of the process.  How can you develop a growth mindset? Believe that your brain works like a muscle. W
