— Developing growth mindset.

Hello everyone, This is Irsa Rafiq and I am back with another blog.

So, while while getting through my online courses I had to write a blog about my experience with AMAL TOTKAY. As all of these help to develop growing mindset which is very important for professional life as well as to have a creative mindset. These totkas are:

Self Talk. Get out of comfort zone. Create new habits. Ask people help. Fake it till you make it.

All of these totkas are really helpful and I find it through continuous effort as I realized the importance of growing mindset to which all of these totkas really contribute. Before reading the whole blog have a look on this and you understand very well importance of developing Growth Mindset.

I’ll continue my blog by using following points:

How did they find the 5 tips?

As self Talk is more something about KHUDI, one of the Amal’s principle that introduce ourselves to us. We are the one who better understand ourselves as explained if we begin to think that we can’t do it then our thoughts are begin to divert in this direction but if we realize the potential, we have to do something then might be some miracles happen. So believe in yourself, do a self talk and then decide what you have to do or not.

Leaving the comfort zone is one of the best decision we ever make because this decision help us to achieve our goals in much more productive way. And creating new habits help us to learn new skills more efficiently. As if you are changing from “Fixed” to “Growth” mindset then you definitely have to implement Amal totka of “Creating new habits” as it really helps you to move one step closer toward your success.

Feedback is very important as it help you to realize the mistakes or refining that you need so must ask people help who are you think might give some productive and constructive feedback. And the last one totka also gives you a direction to move closer toward your success as once you are pretending to be confident or to be smart it will then happened actually in real so at that time you are able to present yourself more confidently and more productively.

Takeaways:

So the takeaway from all of these totkas is really amazing as these are really important for shifting one’s fixed mindset toward growth mindset. As a Growth mindset is all about persevering when the going gets tough and turning failure into useable information. Developing a growth mindset will teach you to embrace failure and find new ways of succeeding. By self realization, self believe and making new habits we’ll definitely learn new skills. As this picture explained very well

Favorite Tip: So from all of these is to “Get out of your comfort zone”.

When we are in our comfort zone we don’t focus on bigger picture as we only think about the little issues or the problems that we have within. We are unable to learn new skills and also not able to bear the difficulties that might happen if we aren’t in our comfort zone. so get out of comfort zone to face new challenges to make yourself capable of doing something extra.

Started implementing already:

It’s actually very good if someone has already started implementing these totkas to shift their mindset as he/she has already taken a very good initiative to change their life and to achieve their goals.

As for me, I already implemented these totkas back when I applied for AMAL FELLOWSHIP. lack of self confidence, less social interaction, improper communication skills all were the main factors or you can say issues that I had faced a lot of times before joining this fellowship. It really helped me to overcame all of these issues and now I can say for sure that I have a growth mindset, as everyday I learnt something new it might be a skill or a concept that helps me to move one step closer toward my gaols.

what can be done to develop a growth mindset beginning from today?

As for this purpose , we must start from today by deciding to do something that adds to our growth mindset, it can be anything like take 10–15 mins, sit around and think about yourself like what you want to achieve or what ways you can use for approaching that goals. Decide for yourself a new task everyday that helps you to learn new skills that you can implement in your life. leave your comfort zone right now and start practicing to involve in different activities, give yourself a tough time that helps you to approach the problems from a new perspective.

So by ending my blog I have to say that “Mistakes are the proof that you are trying and correcting mistakes are the proof that you are GROWING.”
