Читать книгу Eat Like You Teach - Irene Pace RD - Страница 15

If beginner’s mindset is that you believe you have something to learn, growth mindset is when you believe you can learn. The opposite of growth mindset is fixed mindset. Fixed mindset says you’re born smart (or not). You know what you know (or not). You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. That’s a pretty difficult (almost impossible) place to change and grow from. Growth aside, it creates loads of unnecessary struggle, feelings of failure, and hopelessness in life to go around believing that you can’t grow.

In a growth mindset, you believe that even the most basic, seemingly innate abilities can be developed and expanded through specific and deliberate practice. This fosters a desire for, and love of, learning and practice. The belief that you can learn and grow through something difficult can fuel determination and resilience and allow you to continue to move forward even at times it seems like everything is pushing you not to. Combine this with a belief that experiences in life, no matter how light or dark, are an opportunity to learn something, and you are set to get through anything.
