Grasping the concept of a growth mindset is just 20% of the journey. The remaining 80% comes from actively rewiring the brain and building the mental muscles required to shift your thinking. Here are three things to keep in mind as you and your team work on cultivating a growth mindset: 1. Mindset is on a spectrum. You may be working on being in a growth mindset most of the time, but every person is a mixed bag of fixed and growth mindsets. You will exhibit both mindsets throughout life. To prevent discouragement, it is important to remember that you are a work in progress and that mindset is on a spectrum. 2. Growth mindset is not all that matters. There are definite differences in your brain wiring and your predispositions that impact your abilities throughout life. Effort is essential, and attitude matters. However, if you assume success is all about effort, you may be disappointed and feel disempowered. Your approach must be balanced between acknowledging that success is a combination of your predispositions and applying consistent effort. 3. Success requires effort, but not hard effort. Research shows that willpower is an exhaustible resource and not enough for a sustainable practice. For this reason, you must learn to shift your brain activation to a place that doesn’t feel resistance anymore so you can work smarter, not harder. To put this into Positive Intelligence terms, Saboteur mode causes you to push harder and harder, but the way of the Sage is the way of ease and flow.
