Having a growth mindset is having the power of believing that you can improve.
A growth mindset is the key to growth in any areas of life.
In my opinion, it is one of the foundations to develop ourselves as human.
If you don't have a growth mindset, then you probably have a fixed one.
People with a fixed mindset tend to think that their situation and life is due to external factors. They will easily find any excuses(usually people, time, money...) for why they have not done that or that.
People with a growth mindset tend to look inward. They tap into their own resources and potential, they take responsibility for their life. They try more things, they learn from their lessons, they are curious about life.
How to cultivate a growth mindset?
⛰️ - EMBRACE CHALLENGES
"When life gets harder, challenge yourself to be stronger"
Learn to overcome challenges to learn some lessons and become a better person.
Seek things that are more difficult than what you are currently comfortable with doing.
When we finally achieve something difficult we are rewarded with more confidence and self-esteem.
This challenge can be learning a new skill, launching your business, changing employer, or a physical challenge...
☀️ - DO THINGS WITH ATTITUDE AND ENERGY
"How you do anything is how you do everything."
The attitude we have when we do something is contagious. We radiate our energy to the people around us and they reflect back how they see us, like a mirror.
So ask yourself, what am I radiating to others? What am I transmitting?
Can you keep provide positive vibrations and enthusiasm in anything you do, even the toughest thing?
✌️- ASK FOR FEEDBACKS AND CRITICISMS
"Feedback is the breakfast of champions." - Ken Blanchard
A way to improve is being able to see how we perform today and how we want to become in the future. Ask for feedback from others or record yourself to be exposed to how you did. It can be uncomfortable at first and scary to have the feeling of being judged but this will gradually fade away. Instead, maybe you can think of feedback and criticism as the most powerful way to improve. Don't take it personally, unless the critic is not constructive.

📚 - KEEP LEARNING NEW THINGS CONSISTENTLY
"If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done." - Thomas Jefferson
When you learn something new, you progress quickly at the beginning.
You feel excited, your skills are improving and you feel more confident.
However, after a while, if you keep doing the same thing without challenging yourself with something new you feel less growth.
So I would recommend you to tackle new things regularly, keep learning and stay a student for your whole life.
🎯 - SET AUDACIOUS GOALS
"A goal is not always meant to be reached, it simply serves at something to aim at." - Bruce Lee
Goal setting is a way to see yourself doing something exciting and rewarding in a near future.
It is putting down on paper and deciding that you are going in that direction.
It is a deliberate choice to take action and work towards something, a goal, a dream.
It is a direction where you will be pointing towards.
