Summary
In the third episode of The Resilience Series, discover two types of mindsets which can influence our resilience.
Here's a little sneak peek inside the episode:
- Fixed vs Growth Mindsets (an introduction)
- Carol Dweck's study on children, investigating fixed and growth mindsets
- How practising a growth mindset can support our resilience
- Tips for cultivating a growth mindset (let go of the need to be "perfect", be mindful of self-talk, stop assuming that past mistakes define your abilities and that those abilities will never change, focus on your effort rather than the outcome and embrace challenges).
If you enjoyed the episode, I would be super grateful if you could leave a review, tell a friend about this podcast or connect with me via my website at www.rachaelkable.com
I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!

| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey |
| 0:12.3 | and inspire you to create your own. |
| 0:14.9 | Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness, |

| 0:31.5 | Hello and welcome to episode 74 of the Mindful Kind podcast and the third episode in the Resilience series. The topic for |
| 0:40.7 | today is all about mindsets which support resilience. Basically, I'll be talking about how we can |
| 0:46.6 | train our brains to think so that when challenges, changes and stressful events might arise, |
| 0:52.9 | we'll already be in a helpful and hopefully more positive frame of |
| 0:56.9 | mind. Let's get straight into it. There are two different types of mindsets, one being fixed mindsets |
| 1:03.4 | and the other being growth mindsets. Someone with a fixed mindset will believe that their characteristics |
| 1:09.6 | are largely unchangeable and they |
| 1:11.9 | learn to judge those characteristics based on their performances. So for example, someone with a fixed |
| 1:18.6 | mindset might say, I'm a terrible cook and I have no natural talent for it. Maybe they've cooked |
| 1:24.8 | things in the past which haven't worked out and so they see themselves |
| 1:28.1 | as failing at cooking, therefore they are a bad cook, whereas someone with a growth mindset might |
| 1:34.5 | believe their characteristics are more changeable and that they can improve and grow. So in that |
| 1:40.1 | same situation, someone with a growth mindset might say, I haven't learned yet how to cook |
| 1:46.6 | things properly and over time I will become better at cooking. Now, I'll be honest and say I tended |
| 1:53.7 | to have more of a fixed mindset when I was growing up. If I wasn't good at something straight |
