How to Achieve a Growth Mindset?
When one wants to better oneself, the most fundamental thing that person needs to understand is that a great part of the process of growth is the mindset. It is important not to get too caught up with the circumstances thrown by life for people have the choice to look, judge, and accept. Choosing the right mindset will pave the way in how to better approach life’s episodes. (AC)
Mindset changes everything. Learn to observe the environment, resources, and background one has in order to settle on a choice that will result in a finer future. Focus on the skills and what one has, is good at, and figure out how to be better in it. (JP)
“You don’t need to rush it. Start accepting that you do not have control over a lot of things. Stop saying you can’t do it.”
The Effect of Mindset to the Body
Human beings are not plain and simple but multifaceted beings who belong in a society. And because of the digital age, many people believe that a good social media signifies a good life. Thus, people’s perspectives make them look only at the façade of things. The mindset then is truly powerful to change this illusion in order to face the reality and experience growth. (JP)
People subconsciously feed themselves with the neutral things that don’t help them improve themselves. Life happens, there are times that it is pushing one down, doubts enter the mind. But, is this kind of mindset worth it? Many desire to control the circumstance they are in, resisting and fighting to figure out a plan or a way for his life to get better from there, but it is impossible to change that. What they can change is the future. Social media shows big changes and big things. A lot of people want to change their lives and think about these big changes, but do not realize that they are built with mechanisms of habits. Everything that is being done is made out of habits.

Things that will Help you Grow
○ Read Helpful Articles – Feed oneself with positive things. Regardless of what is happening around that is full of negativity, gossip, it is significant to lean towards things where you can learn from. (AC)
○ Focus On the Right Things – Realize that changes don’t happen in a snap. Focus on what can be improved more. Do it step by step. (AC)
○ Handle the Small Things First – If one can be trusted with little, much more will be trusted in him. These small habits and decisions, compounded into something big, should not be belittled. Small changes from small decisions people make are who they make themselves. (JP)
