Are you the kind of person who believes you are fixed where you are or you can develop over time? Professor Carol Dweck at Stanford created the terms \u201cgrowth mindset\u201d and \u201cfixed mindset\u201d to describe how people think of their abilities and talents.\n\nGrowth mindset means not yet. It means you have to work to develop further. This way of thinking helps you be more open to when things don\u2019t go as planned. (After all, right now, nothing is going as planned.) Trust that you have the ability to handle what is coming your way next and commit to your own continual learning. Catch yourself when you hear your thoughts or words veering toward a fixed mindset. Be open to feedback and try new things.
