A sceptic’s guide to changing how you think"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

In the first episode of the Wellbeings<\/a> podcast, ex-US Navy Seal Pat Dossett<\/a> recounts how, during the Seal recruitment process (during which only 17 graduated out of 220) it wasn\u2019t the most physically jacked types who dominated, but instead the \u201cmost unremarkable looking candidates\u201d.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Those who made the cut were the ones who \u201cpossessed a mindset that allowed them to push their brains and bodies to places they didn’t think they could go,\u201d Dossett tells Bowden in the podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This psychological advantage is known as a growth mindset, a term popularised by American Psychologist Carol Dweck in her 2006 book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. According to Dweck, a growth mindset is the belief that intelligence, capability and personality can be developed. A fixed mindset views these as “immutably engrained traits”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with a growth mindset rise to challenges more easily than those with a fixed mindset; they see criticism as constructive and when or if they fail at something, they look for the lesson and try again. Those with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges. They might ignore feedback, or be threatened by the success of others and, in turn, give up more easily. They feel there\u2019s a limit on what they can do, so why bother?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can immediately see how a growth mindset could be invaluable to elite athletes, high-achieving folk, and people who make 5-, 10- and 15-year plans. That is not me. I gave up learning the violin when my neighbour asked if I was skinning a cat in my bedroom. While my friends were reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens I was watching Gossip Girl. When I hear Try Again I think of the Aaliyah song, not of bettering myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fearing this means I\u2019m stuck with a fixed mindset and doomed to never achieve anything in my life, I ask Auckland psychologist Sara Chatwin for her help. How can I convince myself to drink the growth kool-aid and reap the benefits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She assures me changing your mindset is not rocket science. In fact \u201cit\u2019s just two ways of viewing the capabilities of the mind.\u201d Fixed minds like mine can be persuaded to change their outlook. Those with a growth mindset understand that \u201ceffort is required to develop new skills and are open to building new skills, they find inspiration in others\u2019 success, they accept criticism and push through, have a desire to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So is a growth mindset linked to that other wellbeing buzzword, “resilience”? Sure is, says Chatwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone with a growth mindset can fail, but it doesn’t kill them, she says. \u201cYou get back up and get back on the horse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResilience is just the ability to face something head on – be it good, bad or indifferent \u2013 and own it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with a growth mindset often see the silver lining. Their glasses are half full, but warns Chatwin, \u201cdon’t mistake that (to mean) everything is easy for people with a growth mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chatwin, who describes herself as a positive psychologist, freely admits that as someone who maintains and benefits from a growth mindset, she struggles to see how anyone would want to live differently. \u201cI embrace the notion not only of a growth mindset but of neuroplasticity, that you can change and grow your brain, you can upskill yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dossett now has a book about mindset training. “Embracing a resilient mindset changes the way you respond to challenges, that leads to healthier behaviours that help you unlock your full potential.” Like Chatwin, he believes that it\u2019s never too late to ditch a fixed mindset for a cheerier disposition. He assures Bowden that \u201cwe are all capable of it, but how do we take it into our lives and actually use it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to transition towards a growth mindset<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How then, do you go about changing your mindset? Especially if you\u2019re a fixed person who tends to accept that things are just the way they are, who doesn\u2019t do a lot of self-reflection? How do you get through to sceptics weary of what Bowden calls \u201cthe wellness epidemic?\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNever underestimate the power of the small step,\u201d Dossett tells Bowden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That first small step, says Chatwin, is acknowledging that like many aspects of life, a mindset is not a dichotomy, it’s more of a continuum. \u201cWe all have (a growth mindset), it’s whether we choose to go with it, believe in it, use it and grow it or whether we sit still.\u201d It might take friends or family sharing with a fixed mindset person how they’re perceived to spark a desire for change, says Chatwin. A person might not come to that realisation themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step, says Chatwin would be identifying that your mindset is putting limits on yourself \u2013 \u201csitting with that and thinking about it for a while\u201d \u2013 before slowly starting to ask those questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIs this it? Is this all I’m going to be? Is this all I\u2019m going to get?” Asking those questions might \u201cspur some forward momentum and some desire to change. That could be the conduit to a growth mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dossett recommends reminding yourself that \u201cfeeling uncomfortable is a sign not of my inability to be successful but what it feels like to grow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make an intentional step to start \u2013 however small \u2013 and make a habit of \u201csitting with the effect\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m thinking of it in terms I understand, Aaliyah lyrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If at first you don’t succeed (first you don’t succeed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then dust yourself off and try again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can dust it off and try again, try again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So armed with your sliver linings playbook and your rose-tinted glasses, How do you see the world exactly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked Chatwin to walk me through how The Growth Mindsetters deal with four of life\u2019s common challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A growth mindset in the workplace<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chatwin says that anyone who has taken on a career that involved moving up the ranks, has embraced elements of a growth mindset, be that consciously or subconsciously. \u201cAnyone who has been in any job that progresses must know that they can grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally in a work situation a person’s mindset can be characterised by the way they deal with problems and stresses. Those in Team Growth are able to repackage problems as challenges, says Chatwin. \u201cThey redefine the bad stuff in a way that\u2019s a little more positive and workable. They\u2019re that person that is up for a challenge, they\u2019re willing to perhaps push the envelope a little bit. They’re probably both a good individual, and team, player. They’re generally embracing of whatever the workplace throws up at them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A growth mindset as a parent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Parents with growth mindsets are more willing to roll with the hissy fits.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn parenting there are lots of things you come across that are unique, new to you, challenging and even frightening,\u201d said Chatwin. A parent with a growth mindset would come across these surprises and say, “let\u2019s deal with this. I can deal with this, even though I\u2019m not used to this, and I don’t necessarily want this, I can deal with it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe’ll work together towards a degree of commonalty and acceptance.\u201d Parents with growth mindsets are authoritative as opposed to authoritarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A parent with a fixed mindset is more likely to say, \u201cIt\u2019s my way or the highway, this isn’t happening, im not going to accept that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying a growth mindset to relationships<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A growth mindset can be \u201csuper helpful\u201d when it comes to relationships, says Chatwin. When you bring together two people with different life experiences and upbringings things crop up. \u201cThere’s going to be a bit of push and pull. With a growth mindset, you\u2019re better able to navigate that landscape. You\u2019re more accepting, a little more relaxed when things aren’t as you would like them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A growth mindset encourages lateral thinking and flexibility, both invaluable if navigating differences. \u201cSomething might happen, and you’ll think \u2018wow that really isn’t my thing, I don’t know how I\u2019m even attracted to a person who actually engages in that behaviour. However, I love that person, so I can work with that, we can talk about that\u2019.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with a fixed mindset are less able to get over things in a relationship. They \u201cview things as quite black or white,\u201d says Chatwin. \u201cThings become do or die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
