Mindset is a Skill

Everyone is a mixture of fixed and growth mindsets. You could have a predominant growth mindset in an area, but there can still be things that trigger you into a fixed mindset trait.
Carol S. Dweck

Mindset is a skill in the same way that courage is a skill.

Understanding that courage is taking action while feeling your fears is one thing, actually taking action while feeling your fears is another. Being courageous takes practice, it is not something that once we understand we are courageous. The more times we act courageously the more courageous we become.

It is the same with mindset. You may understand different mindsets, but that doesn’t increase your skill in the mindset. It is easy to understand what a growth mindset is, but to practice having a growth mindset skill takes work and effort.

How are you practicing the different mindsets in your life?
