Wellbeing news from Mr.Skrob

This article continues to outline how we can develop a 'Growth Mindset'. Below, you will be able to see how you can shift your thinking, so that you are using growth mindset language. I encourage you to pick three ideas from the 'try thinking' column and practise these for a week. Please share with me how you found this experience. Was it challenging? Was it rewarding? Did it help you to master or learn a new skill? 

Shifting your thinking may take some time and this is totally ok! A few articles ago, we planted the seed about what growth mindset is. Now, it is time to really put it into practice. Remember from our last article that your mind is always able to change IF you train it to think a certain way. Good luck! - Mr. Skrob
