Growth Mindset

I best understand growth mindset with these 3 domains:
Adaptability and Discernment

Traits and skills are determined by time and effort, which are controllable by us. Embracing change often looks like embracing challenge. Exercise discernment to identify when it's time to change vs. when it's time to stand still.

Competition Exists Within Community

Comparison is going to happen. Competition can be fun; competition can be necessary; it is also the gross justification for our capitalist system. By knowing who we are, who we're with, and how we all fit together, we learn to address social challenges pro-socially. That means we inspire each other, we aspire for ourselves, and we remember who our peeps are.

Choose the Right Rhythm

Procrastination, fatigue, and avoidance are gonna happen. They are indicators to address where you're focusing. Whatever reignites your workflow is where your focus should go, and sometimes that means stepping away.

My "Wake up questions" for Staying in Growth Mindset

1. Am I chunking or cramming what I want to learn? Re work the schedule, touch grass, then come back rejuvenated!
2. Am I feeling inspired in my group? Speak candidly when I'm feeling challenged or overwhelmed.
3. Do I need fresh eyes? Sleep, train, or talk to someone to regain the energy needed to persevere.
