Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset
- Situation: Losing your job
- Fixed Mindset Response: "I'm such a loser. I'll probably never work again." Belief that the situation is permanent and won't improve
- Growth Mindset Response: "I'm upset now, but this won't last. I can find a better job," understanding feelings are temporary and finding positives
- Situation: Partner breaks up with you
- Fixed Mindset Response: "This is the worst thing. I'll never find happiness," characterized by catastrophic thinking and a belief that the situation is permanent
- Growth Mindset Response: "I'll grieve, reflect, and move forward," involving fully experiencing emotions and growing from the experience
- Situation: Getting a low test grade
- Fixed Mindset Response: "I'm a failure. I just can't do math," believing skills are fixed
