My desire for you is to advance towards success and get it right with your relationships so today I will be sharing with you on How a growth mindset can help your relationship.
To begin I will love you to be painfully honest and answer these questions below.
Let’s look at the impact of a fixed mindset on your past or current relationship.
Think about either your past or current relationship as you answer the following questions:
- What is the reason you ended the relationship with your last partner, or he or she ended the relationship with you?
- What is the ongoing problem in your current relationship?
- What was the reason or topic for your last fight with your partner?
- What was going on in your relationship the last time you considered whether you are in the right relationship or not?
Do well to pen down your answers, I can't promise you that I have all the answers but this is a good way to propel you towards growth.
Well done📝♠♥♥♥♥. You are amazing
How Does This Help Your Relationship??
1. It Enables You Accept Responsibility For Your life
A fixed mindset tries to repair self-esteem after a failure by assigning blame and making excuses.
“John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach, says you aren’t a failure until you start to blame. What he means is that you can still be in the process of learning from your mistakes until you deny them.” – Dweck9
A growth mindset helps you take responsibility for your actions and decisions because you don’t blame others for them.
2. It Strengthens 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 mindsetgained confidence.
3. Lowers 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.
In another report from researchers at Duke University, there was a strong link found between anxiety and depression among females who aspire to “effortless perfectionist8
Yeah do that's it!
