Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset

Is a way of thinking in which people see their abilities as improvable rather than fixed. By encouraging a growth mindset, every day becomes a chance to better yourself.

We will all always be works in progress. But, if we stay open to new experiences and learning opportunities, we give ourselves room to grow.

Be Kind To Yourself

Berating yourself for not sticking with a self-improvement plan can cause you to underestimate your potential, which can limit your development in the future.

Self-compassion can help encourage the growth mindset necessary for self-improvement. Self-compassion is treating yourself in the face of failure the way you would a good friend. By showing yourself kindness and understanding, you are investing in your own wellbeing.

Seek The Journey, Not The Destination

Seek The Journey, Not The Destination

A cumulative effect of daily or weekly work over a long period of time is what changes life. In this process, we are often robbed of motivation as our sense of progress is diminished by its nonlinearity.

It can be helpful to think of self-improvement as a practice more than an outcome, even if you do have specific goals you want to achieve. By trying to find enjoyment in the work itself, you’re more likely to stick with it in the long-term.

Be Specific About Your Goals

Be Specific About Your Goals

Think about what specific challenges you struggle with, then make specific, intentional changes. Keep in mind how you learn and live as there’s no universal approach to self-improvement.

Honestly look at your current patterns of behavior to figure out where your shortcomings are and what changes are realistic for you.
