Reflection on Amal Totkay

Having a growth mindset is very important because it helps you to continuously improve yourself by learning and developing new skills. While people with fixed mindsets believes that their abilities are fixed and impossible to change, due to which they never try to improve their selves. So, it’s very important to shift your path of fixed mindset towards growth mindset for successful life. For developing a growth mindset, I read Amal Totkay and I found them very helpful. There are five tips in Amal Totkay and I liked all of them. They are having self-talk, get out of your comfort zone, create new habits, ask people for help and fake it till you make it.

Positive self-talk is very important thing because it changes our thought process and thoughts become things. When we start talking and thinking positively with ourselves, we are able to overcome obstacles of our negative thoughts and achieve our goals. It is also very important for growth mindset to put ourselves in challenging situations and come out of the bubble of comfort zone. This is because challenging situations always push our mind towards learning and development. Developing new good habits is also very fruitful for shifting our mindset more towards growth mindset because through it we try to change our thinking process with actions. Tip no. 4 is also very important which asks people for help because in your process of improvement its very important to get feedback on your progress from others. Constructive feedback is a very useful way to have a check on your progress. Last tip is very interesting i.e., fake it till you make it. That is if we want to achieve something start thinking that we already have achieved it. This technique shifts our mindset towards positivity and overcomes our fears. Through it we become more confident about developing new skills and achieving our goals.

In my life I have already started working on positive self-talk and trying to come out of my comfort zone. But now I need to start getting constructive feedback from people and developing new habits to develop my mindset more towards growth mindset. By implementing these tips in our lives, we will be able to learn new things and develop new skills and shift the path of fixed mindset towards growth mindset.
