A growth mindset is a belief that your intelligence, personality, character, and abilities can be developed through effort and practice. That could also mean believing in yourself, regardless of what everyone around thinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have this type of mindset, then you won’t feel like you’re being held back by other people. You’ll instead focus on improving your skill sets, talents, and capabilities. (More about this here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if you’re not naturally inclined to think positively? What if you’ve been told all your life that you’re dumb or stupid? — and you’re starting to believe it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While that might be a sad reality, it doesn’t have to be true. There are ways to change your mindset. The most effective way to do this is to start thinking differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some tips on how to develop a growth mindset so you can succeed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Start by challenging your own negative thinking.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have a growth mindset, you tend to look at things in a more optimistic way. You’re less likely to get discouraged when you fail; instead, you’ll try new ways of doing things. You might also discover that you have the capacity for achievement whatever it is you want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, if you want to change how you feel about yourself, you need to change your thoughts. Here are three practical steps on how to do just this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge negative thoughts.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you notice a thought creeping into your mind, stop it before it takes root. For example, if you catch yourself saying, “I’m no good,” you might say something like, “that’s ridiculous! I’m awesome!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building habits on positive thoughts<\/a> can help you feel better about yourself and reduce negative self-talk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take action.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve challenged a negative thought, take steps to prove that your initial thoughts are wrong. For instance, if you doubt you have good writing skills, challenge yourself to write for 30 days straight and monitor your progress. Usually, when you do this, you’ll find some improvements in your writing skills, which will make you realize that you could continuously improve if you learn and practice consistently enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on the positive.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you challenge negative thoughts, keep your eyes fixed on what you want to accomplish. Don’t focus on all of the things you don’t know. Instead, focus on what you know and be excited about learning new skills and growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
