This post will be discussing how mindset and how we think about ourselves is so powerful. Well, let’s first define the word “mindset”. Mindset is a set of beliefs that shape who you are as a person. It will influence everything about you: how you feel, think, speak, act, etc. There are two types of mindsets: fixed mindset and growth mindset. The two types of mindset are very different. For example, a person with a fixed mindset would say “I don’t understand math. This is too difficult” while a person with a growth mindset would say “What don’t I understand? I need to do more math exercises to improve myself”. The person with a fixed mindset has already made up their mind that math is something unachievable for them. They already put that up on a pedestal and it is something they could never understand. However, the person with the growth mindset is willing to improve. They crossed out the possibility of not understanding math.

Another advice is to STOP using negative affirmations. Saying things like “I can’t do this” or “I will never be able to get good grades”, etc. will make you believe in it. Using the words “no, never, can’t, won’t, shouldn’t,”, etc., it will be engraved into your brain. This makes you lose your battle before you ever start to do anything. This is because you have decided that you can’t do this before you even started. You would not want to give your best because you knew that it would not work out. It will be suck in your head and in the end, you will fully believe that it’s true. However, positive affirmations and mindset are going to make you want to try harder, because you know that you can do it.
From now on, please be careful of what you say to yourself. Be aware of your own words, because words have power. With just one word, it could determine if you will succeed or not in your goals. Make sure you believe in the right kind of affirmations;)
