- [Dave] What do you have a fixed mindset about?
(Acoustic Music)
Do you have a fixed mindset about particular things?
Fixed beliefs.
Fixed thinking habits.
Thinking patterns.
For example, do you think I'm a born worrier.
Its just me. Its just who I am. I can't change it.
Do you know what? I just can't cope.
I can never cope with these situations.
I'm not creative, I just can't, you know,
I can't do all of that sort of stuff.
Those kinds of things, those kinds of fixed thinking
ideas that we have about ourselves, about the world,
or about others.
And if you think back to the previous week's
should thinking video, that's an example of fixed mindset.
Should thinking.
It's applying rigid patterns to our minds.
So, the question is, not so much do you have a completely
fixed mindset about everything.
Some of us may struggle with that.
However, I tend to think that many of us struggle,
not so much with totally fixed mindsets,
but with elements within our thinking patterns
that are fixed through our upbringing.
Through what we were told as kids.
Through experiences that have reinforced those things.
So here's three things to think about
in relation to fixed mindset to encourage you
to move towards what is called a growth mindset.
And what I mean about a growth mindset is that
acceptance of the reality that we can change.
We can grow.
We can expand and improve in so many areas of our life.
And in future videos I'll give you some tips on how
to shift from fixed to growth mindset.
But for now, three things to think about
for a fixed mindset. Number one.
(camera shutter)
No matter how rigid or embedded a thinking habit
appears to be or how fixed we feel we are
in relation to a certain belief
or attitude or style of thinking.
You know, there's nothing I can do. I'm just a worrier.
Now that kind of thinking.
No matter how much we think that we are fixed or stuck
or a victim of these thinking patterns and habits.
It is worth taking solace and comfort and hope
from science and the latest research into mindsets.
From brain research.
From psychology.
Carole Dweck, the author of a great book called, Mindset.
Explores the fixed versus growth mindset fantastically.
(camera shutter)
And provides some great evidence and support.
Some examples of some great research that is being
done with adults and children in all sorts of fields.
From education through to dating to learning to creativity.
And there is clear evidence that our brains
have the ability to change and to grow
(grunting)
and to develop with practise.
So we can shift those fixed mindsets.
Number two.
(camera shutter)
It's actually good for us to develop our growth mindset.
Not just for our physical, emotional and psychological
well-being. And in fact that's massive because if you think
about some of the ways that a fixed mindset
can weigh you down.
Can limit you.
Can hold you back.
Can grind you down.
If I believe I'm a born worrier and I can't change that.
Just imagine and it has happened to be fair.
The years of grinding myself down I experienced
because of that belief that I couldn't change myself.
That I couldn't change that worry pattern.
And actually through hard work, practise and persistence
I have shifted that mindset.
So once I might slip back into
the worry patterns from time to time.
I know to catch myself and then shift into
a more positive frame of mind to challenge that worry.
As I suggested in previous videos.
So we can shift our mindset to growth and it's good for us.
It can lead to better health
physical, emotional and psychological.
It's also great for our development and our achievement
and our fulfilling of our goals and dreams, if you like.
Because fixed mindset can often trap you
into working certain ways.
Believing certain things
and not stepping out into taking chances.
Into pushing yourself.
Into being willing to fail.
Into exploring new situations and experiences.
And that's where a growth mindset can come into its own.
If you particularly want to achieve something
then it is about challenging the fixed mindsets
that may be holding you back because you can achieve more.
You can do more through persistence.
Through a willingness to learn and grow.
To make mistakes.
To learn from them and to move on.
And number three.
(camera shutter)
It's actually worth bearing in mind
that having a fixed mindset
in what might appear to be positive things
can actually be quite limiting and even debilitating.
So, for example, if perhaps you know somebody
or yourself were brought up to believe you were a genius.
You're very clever.
You're naturally gifted with math.
You're naturally gift in writing.
You're a gifted artist.
You're born to be a painter or a musician or a writer.
Now, that can on the face, sound great.
And if it's something you want to do,
having a certain amount of belief
in your abilities is healthy.
However, research into fixed mindset people who have those
kinds of positive perspectives of themselves
can often reveal that they are not necessarily well-equipped
to deal with setbacks, obstacles and don't necessarily
orientate themselves to the need to practise.
To persevere.
To keep onward and improving.
And actually that belief that you're gifted at it
when you hit an obstacle or a barrier there is a temptation
to give up because you feel you're not up to it.
Because your intelligence isn't up to it.
And actually things like intelligence, creativity,
just like everything else, can be developed.
Can be grown through practise, persistence and learning.
And it's recognising that positive or negative traits,
positive or negative beliefs about yourself
with a fixed mindset isn't necessarily healthy.
So in future weeks I'm going to be looking at
some tips on developing a growth mindset.
So in the meantime,
just think on what might you have a fixed mindset in.
Recognise that you can shift it.
It's actually good for you emotionally, physically
and psychologic and open up opportunities for
growth and development and achievement.
And actually, there may be a downside to having a positive
fixed mindset.
