1. If people around me (e.g. family and friends) have a fixed mindset, how should I communicate with them?<\/strong> 2. I realise that I display many signs of a fixed mindset. Should I then try to change myself?<\/strong> 3. I know that I should step out of my comfort zone, but how do I know exactly what my comfort zone is?<\/strong> [vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,16],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1011","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health-talks","8":"category-mental-wellness"},"acf":{"standfirst":"","author_":"365CPS","job_title":"","organisation":"","link":"","post_header_image":"","background_alignment":"center"},"yoast_head":"\n
\n\u2022 An important question is whether the fixed mindset is affecting their lives and\/or other people’s lives.
\n\u2022 If there is a negative impact, you may wish to gently nudge them and let them know that it would be good for them to change it.
\n\u2022 If there is no major impact, there is no urgent need for you to try and change their mindset, it is ok to communicate with them as you usually would.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Each of us has a mix of fixed and growth mindsets – the difference is which one we tend to lean towards.
\n\u2022 It is not necessarily bad to have either mindset, it is part and parcel of our lives.
\n\u2022 If you think that having a fixed mindset negatively affects your life, you can then look at changing it.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 The keyword here is “comfort” – what is comfort to you?
\n\u2022 E.g. if someone says that they have been working in the same job for years and that they are used to it, that may be their comfort zone. There may be challenges on the job but they already know the appropriate solutions.
\n\u2022 Stepping out of the comfort zone may differ from person to person but generally involves trying new experiences and new challenges.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
