A journey from fixed mindset to the growth mindset

Today’s World is full of competitions. There is competition on every footstep, either it is your educational field or your professional life, you have to compete for everything. You have to excel in what you are doing in order to get successful. If you don't compete, it means you are in your comfort zone. And you will never be successful. So, to get out of this comfort zone we have to move toward a growth mindset.

Here is again the question, ‘’how to make a growth mindset’’? The answer is that to get out of the fixed mindset to the growth mindset, you need to follow ‘’Amal Totkas’’

Yes! these are 5 totakas which are very helpful in this regard. These totkas are:

Self-talk

Get out of your comfort zone

Create new habits

Ask people for help

Fake it, till you make it.

When you do self-talking is actually knowing yourself, that who you are, and becoming more aware of yourself. The more you know ‘’you’’, the more you will be able to believe in yourself. To achieve something in this world you have to explore your self abilities skills and strengths. And that is possible when you talk to yourself.

And the second tip about getting out of the comfort zone is quite more beneficial. When you out of the box you see much more opportunities waiting for you out there. When you leave your comfort zone and take risks, you experience great things. You explore yourself and make a new world of your recognition and move toward a growth mindset. It is your enemy, so never let yourself in its trap.

Thirdly, Create new habits. Try to adopt a habit that give you learning with pleasure. You can either adopt the habit of reading, exercising, or any other creative activity. It will polish your skills and enhance your personality. So keep on learning and never stop adopting new habits.

Ask people for help, to guide you, and to give you encouraging feedback, for what you are trying to do. Ask for their advice in certain tasks according to their experiences and take small steps. It will boost your learning and performance and will make you more confident.

And lastly, adopting all these totkas work on yourself, chase your goals, and keep it all confidential. That's what is said in the 5th totka of Amal guidance that ‘’Fake it until you make it. Never tell others about what you are doing let them know when your success will make noice itself.

I found all these tips very interesting and useful, especially leaving your comfort zone and making it fake until I gain it, were the best ones. And I have like acted upon them since before. I am trying to go out of the box, learning new things, and making all progress confidential. Because I know I don't have to tell others about my plans until I get the success and they will know it themselves.

Thanks!!!
