Feeling stuck? Like some parts of you just can’t change? You’re not alone — that’s the fixed mindset talking.

In this episode of Reflections & Realizations, we unpack how fixed mindset thinking limits growth, fuels self-doubt, and traps us in old stories. But here’s the game changer: the power of yet — the simple word that shifts “I can’t” into “I’m learning.” Drawing from Carol Dweck’s groundbreaking mindset research and faith-based encouragement, we explore how belief shapes our ability to grow.

I introduce a straightforward two-step journaling tool, From Fixed to Growth Mindset, designed to help you spot those limiting thoughts and reframe them into hopeful, growth-oriented ones.
This is about catching those stories before they become your identity — and gently rewriting your inner narrative with kindness and possibility.

🛠️ From Fixed to Growth Mindset Framework

➤ Step 1: Spot the Fixed Mindset Thought
Write down the limiting belief:

“I’m not a morning person.”

“I can’t stay organised no matter what.”

➤ Step 2: Reframe with Growth Mindset
Rewrite it kindly and hopefully:

“I’m learning how to create a morning routine that works for me.”

“I can develop better organisation skills with small daily habits.”

Journaling this regularly trains your brain to choose growth over defeat — one thought at a time.

With love,
