Mindsets

Your brain, your body, and your mind are heavily influenced by the quality of your self-talk. The things you say to yourself, and how you feel about yourself have a big impact and are incredibly powerful. Positive self-talk is kind, supportive, and affirming. It sounds like this: “I’m making progress,” “I can do this,” or “I will keep trying until I get this.” Positive self-talk boosts confidence, helps you succeed in sports, helps you achieve your goals, and gets you through challenging times. 

Negative self-talk, on the other hand, is unkind, self-critical, and upsetting, It can sound like, “I’m not worth it,” “I’m not smart enough to do this,” or “I’m not good enough.” Negative self-talk lowers self-esteem, spoils true friendships, stops you from achieving your goals, and increases your stress levels. Our repetitive thoughts and self-talk form our beliefs and mindset. For example, a person may think their intelligence, talents, and abilities can’t be significantly improved. Researchers call this way of thinking a fixed mindset. An alternative way of thinking is that our intelligence, talents, and abilities can be developed with effort, the right strategies, and help from others. Researchers call this way of thinking a growth mindset. We just watched a video about the incredible power of our brains to learn and change. So, the growth mindset is actually a more accurate way of thinking than a fixed mindset is.
