Here we are! The final Chapter of Mindset. I have truly enjoyed our time togehter and hope that all of you have found Mindset to be useful and inspiring.
If you are unable to attend our meeting this week please complete the Google Doc
here.
Below are the final discussion questions:
Chapter 8. Changing Mindsets: A
Workshop
- Think
about the last time you had a major setback, failure or rejection in your
life. Did you hear the fixed mindset voice in your head? What did it say?
Now, how would you answer it with a growth mindset voice? What would that
dialogue sound like?
- 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.
- Think
about a new diet. What new strategies would you use to help yourself
observe the diet? What would you think, feel, and do the first time your
fell off the diet? What could you learn from your “failure” and how would
you get back on track?
- Is
there an area in your life where winning is everything? What does winning
mean to you? What does losing mean about you? Watch yourself in those
situations and see how your mind is working. Now, what could you do to
introduce a growth mindset into your thinking? Give some examples.
- Do
you use feeling bad as a reason for doing nothing? When you feel
disappointing, thwarted, cheated, or depressed, do you use this as a
reason to stop trying? What steps could you take to help growth mindset
thinking overcome your fixed-mindset?
When we began reading this book, the
activity in Chapter 1 indicated that I had a ___________________ mindset. I
agreed/disagree with that statement.
Now, after reading Mindset I believe I have a
_____________________ mindset.
