Mindset success journal (50 pts)

After learning about the fixed and growth mindsets, reflect on the following in your journal:

  • Can you think of a time you faced an important opportunity or challenge with a fixed mindset? What were your thoughts and worries - about your abilities? About other people's judgments? About the possibility of failure?
  • Now, can you take that same opportunity to challenge and switch into a growth mindset? Think of it as a chance to learn new things. What are the plans and strategies you're thinking about now?
  • When do you feel smart? When you're doing something flawlessly or when you're learning something new? How can you make striving stretching, and struggling into something that makes you feel smart?
  • Think of something about yourself you've been wanting to change. What is it? Has a fixed mindset prevented you from doing this? Think about it from a growth mindset and spell out a concrete plan for change.
