There are two types of mindsets we can cultivate. One that embraces problems as opportunities to learn, and one that avoids them, often out of fear to fail. People that avoid conflicts can be described as having a fixed mindset. Those who see problems as interesting challenges have a growth mindset. Sometimes we like to switch from one to the other. #learn #mindset

I believe that I can learn anything given the time and effort. This is why at age 56 why I have gone back to school. First to receive my GED and now my degrees.
Kimberley Moore keep it up.
Good Job:)
Appreciate your efforts 🙂
Gorgeous!!
Very proud of you. Haha the tables turned now! 🤣🤣😊
I have spent my entire adult life (and sooo much time in therapy) getting over the fixed mindset I had growing up. My fixed mindset made me see my failures as failures of my whole self, success was because I had talent no one else had, and wrecked havoc on my self-esteem. Now, life is a learning opportunity and I work to live with a growth mindset everyday. It’s hard but a change is possible!
Good for you, I hope you continue your growth mindset journey!
Hula Hooping Hannah firstly congratulations on ur achievements 👍👍 u have tried ur best and changed ur fixed mindset to growth mindset 🌷🌷🌷 that sounds amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
May you keep growing and see your own brilliance every day for the rest of your life 🙂
I’m glad you got out of it. I hope I don’t grow up with a fixed mindset. I know my family means well by calling me I’m smart,etc. But it’s caused me to think the way you thought. And I’m aware of it, but I don’t know how to stop. It’s gotten so bad I cry when I don’t understand things on the spot and it’s really taking a toll. I’ll just give up. I don’t want to be like this anymore :/
Also have the issue with fixed mindset in most things. I only aquired a growth mindset in programming thanks to a very good teacher but I have fixed mindset hammered into my head the whole childhood. First 22 years of my life were filled with pure hate and rejection. I was unwanted by everyone and my whole existence cause anxiety to some people in my school. Just existing alone was a crime and some wanted to see me dieing. Fixing traumatic experiences and rejection during childhood is almost impossible. I hate 99.99% of all humans and this probably will never change.
Selfawareness is a good step from moving from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
yes
yup
is it tho?
agree

You can go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. For the past 10 years have been working on moving away from the fixed to the growth. Doing so has helped me with my anxiety and fear of failure. It is still a work in process but I will succeed.
I never really thought about it much until after watching this video to realize that I, myself for a long time was set on a fixed mindset not allowing room for growth. I too was afraid of failure but now knowing that failing is a part of learning, I am quiet confident in my new upcoming challenges.
I just realized i am switching from fixed to growth mindset every day. It all depends on my mood. If i feel depressed, or sad or tired i am in fixed mindset. But if i feel refreshed, full of energy because of nice weather or someone told me a compliment, then i have growth mindset and i feel like i can do anything and that anything can be done if you have passion and motivation to do it.
Overall i belive there are no problems that cannot be solve, just some solutions might lead to new problems.
Fixed mindsets are a survival method for people who’s parents/guardians are quick to punish for even small things like mistakes and accidents or even punish when they fail the first time trying something. It’s not a healthy mindset, but in those environments it’s what’s needed to avoid pain
Thank you Jess for the insightful comment!
Jay reminds me a lot of myself when I was studying. Though Anne also reminds me of myself at times too. It’s true, Jay probably has anxiety causing him to have these feelings. But realizing this and questioning your negative thoughts is what is needed to break through and have a growth mindset. And anyone can do it! Thanks for the video
Thanks for this bigger picture perspective! I felt like I’ve struggled alone like a fish out of water with trying to build more constructive relationships with people like my coworkers and peers who don’t seem to share in my levels of enthusiasm and ambitions for getting on the same page to get the job done with efficiency and consistency. I probably can write a book on coworkers shutting down and turning against me as if I am the one with a personal problem because I might have wanted them to help step up and tackle a project that can save all of us some trouble on down the road. Now I wish that videos like this would become more of a public service announcement on the biggest platforms you can imagine. Or at least mentioned openly at our daily goals meetings or our safety meetings at work that never covers any of the attitude and good sense techniques.

@Matt Hatt That is true,
But then we can always try & upgrade ourselves.
Love how the comment section is a positive space for encouragement, uplifting and support towards each other 🙂 It inspires me that there is an optimistic space in the internet where people help and motivate each other out to learn and grow 🙂 The channel itself is happy to educate others to see life in a better perspective 🙂 Thank you so much for this channel and your contents. The list and a more concrete explanation of a fixed and growth mindset even made me more aware to things I need to work on. Thank you so much 😊☺️

I’m astonished that people feel positive about this particular explainer video, it’s so harmful and such a misrepresentation of growth mindset. My disabled daughter was shown this video at school and it left her in tears because the gist of the video is that kids who acknowledge barriers to learning or suffer with anxiety are bad and have the “wrong” mindset, when the reality of learning is far more nuanced. It brushes over the role adults have to play in creating safe environments where failure is allowed, putting all the emphasis on kids. It also draws a direct link between “wrong” mindset and unemployment without any reference to the role of trauma in how children respond to failure. It’s such a shame because growth mindset is a great tool, but this video is an aggressively ableist misrepresentation of the concept.
Anytime Jessica , were here for a Resons I belive What we start with is not what we will Leven with. Name it and claim it. Mindset just be careful
I think the key to a growth mindset is actually setting a goal to aim for and in the process the path forward is revealed by your aim and you’ll know how to improve yourself
It demands a culture. One Growth Mindset can be far more challenging among many Fixed Mindsets + the factor of authority to make changes. So to make it successful you have to first calculate the balance factor, get the rest of the team on the same page including sponsors and then go for it. Just on a practical note to turn a theory to applications.
I feel that at some stages in my life I have had a fixed mindset. My mother always taught us that nothing beats a failure but a try. I have a growth mindset. I can take constructive criticism on an assignment. I love seeing others succeed and I am not insecure when they do succeed.
From teaching for five decades, this makes perfect sense. Can someone make a permanent switch to growth mindset? Possibly, but only if they are aware of their mindset and practice overcoming fixed mindset. Changing mindset is also a skill that can be practiced.
I need to embrace the growth mindset. I used to live by it, then some difficulties arose… I let fear and doubt take over, avoided risks for a long time. Thank you for this video, I feel encouraged to grow again!
To me, a growth mindset was closely linked with learning to disregard others’ opinions. I used to be so afraid of being unlikeable, unsuccessful that I avoided areas in which I wasn’t sure I’d be talented. There were things I didn’t try because “everyone” “knew” that they were hopeless or useless, and I was afraid of seeming arrogant by trying to prove them wrong. I had things I “knew” I was “good at”–mostly told to me by others–that I never even considered I might not be good at them, that I could improve at them, or that I might also be good or better at other things. Once I started seriously considering what *I* wanted and decided to seriously pursue it, I realized I was extremely capable in a variety of areas, and I could readily accomplish all my life goals. Once you convince yourself there is a way, the way becomes apparent.
How did you get the motivation to try?
@wheat bread I had things I wanted, I guess. As I became an adult and had more agency in my day to day life, I just gradually started trying. Success on the small scale encouraged me to keep trying for larger goals.
We are what we think about and that thought will be manifested into your life whether positive or negative. Good for you and I wish you all the best for the future.
me rn
I have successfully disregarded all positive opinions from others and only receive negative feedback
At 50 years old, I’ve spent the past few years teaching myself to transform my old fear-based fixed mindset into an optimistic, empowering growth mindset, because I believe it will help me reach the potential I feel within. So far, so good.
Love that energy! Sprouts is with you 🙂
That is super inspiring Nicholas, do you have any recommendations on how to improve and transform your mindset?
There is a permanent switch from a fix to a growth mindset because from a fix to a growth mindset is to jump out of the comfort zone. Once you can do this, you will push yourself to think in a different way and be more motivated.
