    What is mindset ?

When we are talking about the mindset, we are talking about the way how you see the world around you. It determinate the way how all things in the world will interact with you. It will be very different for every person, as it is based on a personal experience you have. And there will be no two identical lifes lived. But it is based on the same algorithms, in witch the "How it works" part is the same for every physically healthy person. So you can change it by doing the same things for every person.
There are two mindsets that we all employ: Fixed and Growth.

In a fixed mindset, people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success—without effort. These types of people feel defeated after a failure and step away from challenges outside their comfort zone.

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. These types of people view challenges and failures as opportunities to learn and grow. They persist despite setbacks. This mindset is the hallmark of achievement and success.

We all have some shades of both growth and fixed mindsets, depending on the situation. Cultivating a growth mindset will improve your ability to succeed in all areas of life. Learning a growth mindset creates motivation and productivity in the worlds of business, education, and sports. It affects how you lead, manage, parent and show up in relationships. Think about how you last approached a challenge: with curiosity for what you could learn, or by thinking about how you might appear if things went wrong?

Mindset is how you feel and accept the world!

How your life can benefit from it?

So now when we know what is mindset, we see that we have to work towards growth mindset. Want to have more fun in life? Enjoy learning? Have better relationships? Improve your business? A growth mindset is associated with all of these benefits plus more. This simple attitude impacts your success, health, happiness, careers, and relationships. So it have enormous impact on your life. So more you go for a growth mindset the more benefits you can have :

Enjoy life even if you are not good at it. Since your focus is on doing and learning cool stuff, while not caring about success or achievements, it is much easier to enjoy doing whatever it is you’re doing. Never painted in your life? Who cares! Drink a bottle of wine with some friends, pick up a paint set at a nearby dollar store, and give it a try. The fixed mindset would make you shun from doing this, knowing that your painting will ‘suck’ and be ’embarrassing’. The growth mindset says “who cares?” and lets you enjoy yourself.

Improve Your Relationships.Those with a fixed mindset want an ideal mate to put them on a pedestal, make them feel perfect, and worship them. A fixed mindset can cause partners to think they should be able to read each other’s mind, or that the two of them should never disagree on anything (which is very unlikely).Those with a growth mindset, however, want an ideal mate to see their faults and help them to work on them, challenge them to become a better person, and encourage them to learn new things. This makes for a much healthier and happier relationships.

Strengthen Your Confidence.Those in a fixed mindset do not have less confidence than those in a growth mindset. The problem is that their confidence is more fragile and easily undermined by setbacks and effort. For example, in a study by Joseph Martocchio (1994), employees taking a computer training course were either put into a fixed or a growth mindset. Before the course, confidence in their computer skills was equal. After the course, those in the fixed mindset lost much of their confidence in their computer skills, while those with the growth mindset gained confidence.

Lower Your Risk of Depression. In a study performed by Baer, Grant, and Dweck (2005), students in the fixed mindset had higher levels of depression because they ruminated over problems and setbacks.

Be Better at Taking Responsibility For Your LifeA fixed mindset tries to repair self-esteem after a failure by assigning blame and making excuses. A growth mindset helps you take responsibility for your actions and decisions because you don’t blame others for them.

Ditch the Stress From Constantly Trying to Prove Yourself.In a fixed mindset success is a top priority. But succeeding once isn’t enough, you are always being measure by others, and you must always be perfect. In a growth mindset you don’t care about proving yourself to others, you only care about improving and growing.

Mindset impacts your success, health, happiness, careers, and relationships

Actions you should do to change your mindset.

This process is not so hard, but it can take time. The reward at the end is so good, so try it. It can really change peoples life to a better side. Most of the work is to listen to yourself and adjust accordingly.

First you need to learn to hear your fixed mindset “voice.” As you approach a challenge, that voice might say to you “Are you sure you can do it? Maybe you don’t have the talent.” “What if you fail—you’ll be a failure” “People will laugh at you for thinking you had talent.” “If you don’t try, you can protect yourself and keep your dignity.” As you hit a setback, the voice might say, “This would have been a snap if you really had talent.” “You see, I told you it was a risk. Now you’ve gone and shown the world how limited you are.” “ It’s not too late to back out, make excuses, and try to regain your dignity.” As you face criticism, you might hear yourself say, “It’s not my fault. It was something or someone else’s fault.” You might feel yourself getting angry at the person who is giving you feedback. “Who do they think they are? I’ll put them in their place.” The other person might be giving you specific, constructive feedback, but you might be hearing them say “I’m really disappointed in you. I thought you were capable but now I see you’re not.” When you are capable to here those, and you are just believe you can.
Recognize that you have a choice. How you interpret challenges, setbacks, and criticism is your choice. You can interpret them in a fixed mindset as signs that your fixed talents or abilities are lacking. Or you can interpret them in a growth mindset as signs that you need to ramp up your strategies and effort, stretch yourself, and expand your abilities. It’s up to you. So as you face challenges, setbacks, and criticism, listen to the fixed mindset voice and...
Talk back to it with a growth mindset voice. Here i will show you a practical approach as you approach a challenge:
FIXED-MINDSET says “Are you sure you can do it? Maybe you don’t have the talent.”
THE GROWTH-MINDSET answers, “I’m not sure I can do it now, but I think I can learn to with time and effort.”
FIXED MINDSET: “What if you fail—you’ll be a failure”
GROWTH MINDSET: “Most successful people had failures along the way.”
FIXED MINDSET: “If you don’t try, you can protect yourself and keep your dignity.”
GROWTH MINDSET: “If I don’t try, I automatically fail. Where’s the dignity in that?”
As you hit a setback:
FIXED MINDSET: “This would have been a snap if you really had talent.”
GROWTH MINDSET: “That is so wrong. Basketball wasn’t easy for Michael Jordan and science wasn’t easy for Thomas Edison. They had a passion and put in tons of effort.
As you face criticism:
FIXED MINDSET: “It’s not my fault. It was something or someone else’s fault.”
GROWTH MINDSET: “If I don’t take responsibility, I can’t fix it. Let me listen—however painful it is– and learn whatever I can.”
Then take the growth mindset action. Over time, which voice you heed becomes pretty much your choice. Whether you
take on the challenge wholeheartedly, learn from your setbacks and try again, hear the criticism and act on it is now in your hands. Practice hearing both voices, and practice acting on the growth mindset. See how you can make it work for you. And the benefits will come eventually.

Changing mindset can be done !

A lot of this really resonates and hits home for me - I used to be in such a "fixed mindset" that I lost sight of the bigger picture.

Now that I've stepped back, re-evaluated a lot of things in my life, changed my situation, and had a chance to just be me, I'm finally entering the "growth mindset" that I know I thrive in (I used to be in this mindset in my teens and I did so well with everything!
