August: Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset

Session One: 

Recommended learning: 

Challenge: Select a Growth Mindset Challenge for the month out of the planner (see link above) or create your own.  Identify something you have a Fixed Mindset about and work on shifting out of it by improving yourself in that area this month.  

Example: 

Fixed mindset: I’m just not good at technology. 

Growth challenge: I will spend at least 30 minutes 3 x a week watching tutorials to help me manage my website. 

Discussion highlights:  We went over definitions, and talked about how we limit ourselves by the language we use.  We discussed how shifting to “I’m not good YET” could help.

Questions to Consider:

• In the last 7 days, when have you displayed a fix mindset? 
• In the last 7 days, when have you displayed a growth mindset? 
• Which mindset worked out and why?
• When would you like to adopt a growth mindset more often?

Session Two:

Discussion highlights:  We examined the Fixed vs. Growth mindset module.

Questions to Consider:

• How does your accomplice saboteur keep you stuck in a fixed mindset?
• Where in your life do you feel the saboteur pushing you to grow? How can you shift that to the Sage?
• Think of an area of your life where you have a fixed mindset.  What would change if you got 1% better daily in this area?
• How does a fixed mindset feel differently in your body than a growth mindset?
• How can you reframe your saboteur lies into a growth mindset message?
