8. Growth Mindset Vs. Fixed Mindset: Adjusting your mindset to level up your life & create happiness

8. Growth Mindset Vs. Fixed Mindset: Adjusting your mindset to level up your life & create happiness

The biggest thing that helped change my life! 

In this weeks episode Olivia talks about: 

  • Her now, new, next 
  • Accepting change and going with the flow of life
  • How mindset affects our daily lives 
  • The difference between a Fixed Mindset and a Growth Mindset 
  • Finding Happiness in small moments 
  • How to adopt new perspectives into our thinking patterns

and so much more


Where is your mindset? Answer these questions to asses your current mindset. 

  1. You're born with a certain amount of intelligence and it isn't something that can be changed.
  2. No matter who you are, there isn't much you can do to improve your basic abilities and personality.
  3. People are capable of changing who they are.
  4. You can learn new things and improve your intelligence.
  5. People either have particular talents, or they don't. You can't just acquire talent for things like music, writing, art, or athletics.
  6. Studying, working hard, and practicing new skills are all ways to develop new talents and abilities.

If you tend to agree most with statements 1, 2, and 5, then you probably have a more fixed mindset. If you agree most with statements 3, and 4, 6, however, then you probably tend to have a growth mindset.
