You might have been through the “Zubeida Apa ky totky”😀 the famous herbalist and chef giving away her lifelong experience of practical home remedies about daily life. But have you been through Amal Totkay? Sound’s new for your ears isn’t it? Before giving it a start I would like to mention what “totka” means, it’s an Urdu word known as “remedy” in English.

Unlike Zubeida APA’s amazing herbal remedies that are food for a sound body, Amal totkay is much more of an abstract kind and is food for a growth mindset. Before giving it a ready set go! Let’s differentiate between the two mindset categories.

MINDSET:

Check out your tendency where you fall?😃

A growth mindset carries the motto of learning and growth is much more of a need for a person to develop a successful career, make progress, add creativity, radiating colors and spark light bulbs of new innovations in your life.

It is a medically proven fact that a growth mindset is representative of sound mental health. A study related to clinical psychology by renowned researchers named Jessica Schleider, Madelaine Abel, and John Weisz performed a very thorough review of 17 studies involving over 6,500 students and found that fixed mindset youth were 58% more likely to show more severe symptoms of anxiety, depression, or aggression than the one with a growth mindset.

“It’s not that I’m so smart. It’s just that I stay with problems longer.” (Albert Einstein)

FOOD FOR A GROWING MINDSET:

In my personal and professional life, like you, I was given the choice to choose my mindset among the two categories where I was asked to fill a survey and determine my tendency. And by the grace of ALLAH, I fell much close to the growth mindset. So today we will go through some abstract “totkas” that are the marvelous and practical creation of Amal Academy. #credit goes to them;)

Yes, THE AMAL TOTKAS!🤩 the food for a growth mindset. I personally acknowledged and acted upon them and I was stunned to know how supportive they could be for my mindset.🔥 Without any delay, Let’s move to the 5 famous remedies (CHALO!😂)

SELF TALK: The best talk I would say is self-talk. Your thoughts represent your inside and the more you converse with yourself, the more you can turn adverse situation in your favor and the more you will get fond of yourself. So, create some time out of your busy schedule. Talk out your problems, find solutions and give yourself a gentle pat that “you’ll ace it” instead of “it’s not my cup of tea”.

Be your own cheer leader🤩😎

2. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE: A Comfort zone is a place that you develop more easily and more subconsciously. As the name depicts it’s a place of your own personal favors that you find hard to leave. It could even come in the form of attachment to a chair. You lose all your spark at that place and get restricted. So try setting yourself loose could drive you out of your comfort zone.

Unleash yourself and see the magic..🌟✨

3.CREATE NEW HABBITS: Create a healthy habit of writing a diary along with the one that aids in your physical strength. A writing diary is the exercise of the mind where you jot down all your strength, weakness, and learnings at a place and reflect upon them to grow step by step. This is how you grow fast when you learn about yourself and give margin for improvement.

4. ASK PEOPLE FOR : The major quality of an entrepreneur is that they never resent feedback. They appreciate it with open arms without giving any explanation and defense. They learn from the feedback and give room for betterment. The implementation of this is quite difficult yet fruitful when implemented.

I will grow with your GO! and NO!🤩

5.FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT: It is one of my most favorite tips that I already started to implement. It is an English aphorism that suggests that by imitating confidence, competence, and an optimistic mindset, a person can realize those qualities in their real life and achieve desired results.

It’s like self pretending till it becomes your habit. Like I am going to call myself “active and smart”😂😉 as I am a “lazy geek”. So that I could become one. I would use the dialog “Hon! you are as energetic as current.😂”

Well, for me a growth mindset starts from creating new habits along with tip no 5, so take out your pen and start writing!😃

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up, the most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. — THOMAS EDISON
