Tips to Develop a Growth Mindset

Tips to Develop a Growth Mindset

Growth mindset’ – we are sure this is a term you have heard thrown around a lot lately! It’s not hard to imagine the concept but sometimes it’s difficult to try to develop one. A growth mindset requires one to systematically re-train their thought process. 

Keep going

Growth is not a one-time action, sometimes we give up on things sooner than we should. To continue growing, recognize the fact that you are designed to thrive! It’s important to focus on all that the challenges are 'adding' to you rather than focusing on the action.
Remember that you are going to hit obstacles along the way. View it as part of the growing and respect the journey.

Embrace ‘So-Called’ Failures 

Failure is just a matter of perspective - in order to achieve any growth we must take risk and move outside our comfort zone. Whether you are running a business or trying to maintain a relationship, there is always a chance of things not going as planned.

None of us can truly get through life without experiencing ups and downs, so there is no point in being cautious all the time. Know that in your life, several doors will open while others will close. And, chances are that in the turmoil, you may even make some bad decisions. You will learn from them!

Making mistakes and taking considered chances gives you a new perspective that you can use to get where you want to go. Sometimes, the most practical and usable insights come after a seeming failure. Embrace a growth mindset and try to learn from these insights. 

Stay Open to Feedback 

By staying open to feedback, you can increase your chances of success ten-folds. For every comment or piece of feedback, first think where it came from (do you respect this person enough to appreciate their comment) and then think what opportunity does this give me to improve my performance. 
Refusing feedback is a sign that your ego may be getting in the way of your success… Criticism can be a hard pill to swallow, but if taken the right way, you can use it as a stepping stone to greater things!

Celebrate Others
Success is not a destination, it's a journey of a million steps in the direction of our dreams. We need to focus on our unique challenges and abilities, rather than feeling intimidated, jealous or judgmental of others. Take every chance to congratulate other people sincerely for their success, even if they are in direct competition with you!

Growth is what we should do our whole lives - it’s a way of living. Start today on developing a growth mindset and set up a great tomorrow.
