3 Ways To Start Growth Mindset Journey

Growth mindset will help you more than you can believe.

What does it mean to have a growth mindset? There are many different factors that can determine the level you are at and what you can find out to continue developing your mindset. Using every possible chance around your life to create the type of growth you want is there. This journey is a part of your life no matter what and by working on this, you can really grow into the person you want, need, and for your surroundings. 

What Is A Growth Mindset?

Having a growth mindset is about being able to learn and being open to change. At each moment in our life, there are times we can be cultivating a new switch and pattern, only if we are open to being a student in our own life. Going through this phase propels us to try and learn to get where we need to be – sometimes even without realizing it until later down the road. Meaning, keep doing what you need to do. You’ll understand why later. 

Searching up on Google, we find: 

A growth mindset means that you thrive on challenges, and don’t see failure as a way to describe yourself but as a springboard for growth and development of your abilities. Your intelligence and talents are all susceptible to growth. 

This is such a great way to say this and now, let’s go through this together. 

6 Brain Facts And What Is Important For Your Mindset 

So far, the facts about our brain are very fascinating. The findings gave us an understanding of a normal functioning brain. Keeping an open mind with daily efforts into improving yourself will take you far.

Let’s go through some facts:

  1. Learning new things increases gray matter in the brain
    • When we learn something new, our brain forms new connections between neurons; this then increases visible gray matter in the brain. (BBC)
  2. Memory is prioritized by emotion
    • This also means that a lot of our “memories” are unintended flawed fiction. [New Yorker]
  3. Emotions can alter our brain chemistry
    • Similarly to the above fact, emotions drastically alter our brains. The chemical reactions stirred by feelings can be physically seen in brain scans and studies of gray matter. (Huffington Post)
  4. It has an average of 50,000-70,000 thoughts a day
    • The average brain has between 50,000 and 70,000 thoughts a day. Upsettingly, the majority (an estimated 60-70 percent) of the thoughts are negative. (Huffington Post)
  5. It starts to slow at around 24 years old
    • Research shows that the cognitive speed of our brain starts slowing down around 24 years old. (Time)
  6. 95% of all decisions are subconscious
