Tags: Tips, Amal Totkay, Reflections, Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset is a belief that talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others). If you want to achieve something big, You must have a growth mindset because you only can achieve something if you`re willing to learn something new.

To develop a Growth mindset amal give us 5 totkay which I want to share with you, These are:

1- Self Talk

2- Get Out of your Comfort Zone

3- Create new Habits

4- Ask people help

5- Fake it Till you make it

Personally, I find them very useful in life because they help to learn and Grow fast. Here are some inputs from myself that I learned from them.

1- Self talk is about Giving time to yourself to know what you think about yourself.

2- Obviously nothing big can be achieved in our comfort zone, we have to struggle and work hard to achieve our goals.

3- Habits are very important in order to drive life. So, if you alter your habits according to your goal, it will help you to achieve your goal in less time.

4- This is related to principal aik or aik Gyarah. No one knows about everything so it’s better to ask for help where you get stuck.5- I take it in the sense that if you want to do something never tell anybody about your weakness. Present that as your strength even if it’s not actually until you actually learn that.

All of these are very important and useful but Tip 1,2 and 5 are my favourite tips. I think this is because I`m implementing these tips in my life.

In order to develop a Growth mindset we just need to develop a habit of learning and accepting new ideas because if we are open to learning new things and accepting new ideas, only then we accept and implement other tips that are discussed above.

Thank you
“How we can develop a growth mindset?”

Tags: Amal Totkay

“How we can develop a growth mindset?” There can be many answers to this question but here are five pro tips that can help one to develop a growth mindset. Let’s have a look on them.

1.Self-Talk:

The best way to motivate yourself to do something great is positive self-talk. The words we say to ourselves either motivate us, or if they are negative, they refrain us from attaining our goals. Our negative thoughts are a restriction in developing growth mindset.

2.Get out of your comfort zone:

Being in comfort zone is a major reason that hinders the development of growth mindset. When we are in comfort zone, our brain does not want things to change, rather it remains busy in daily activities and we become lazy.

3.Ask people for help

Having a company with people who have a growth mindset and seeking their help is a good idea. These are the people who motivate you to change your steady mindset to growth mindset.

4.Create new habits

A great saying is

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.”

So developing new habits and learning new things is a pro tip for developing a growth mindset.

5.Fake it till you make it

Changing mindset is not a one-day task. It takes time. But we can practice it even if we don’t have it. Once we start practicing it, our brain gets uses to it and we can actually have a growth mindset.

My Reflection On Amal Totkay
By: Armughan Abdullah
Tags: Keep Learning, Entrepreneurial Mindset, Amal Academy, Growth Mindset, Amal Totkay

As we all have our elders remedies with us whether that is mixing turmeric with milk for healing or Eating Carrots pudding for improving Eyesight.

For having a Growth mindset Amal Academy (our elders) have enlighten us with 5 tips of Amal Totkay.

Self Talk Get out of your Comfort Zone Create new Habits Ask people help Fake it till you make it

Tip 1: (Self Talk) It is really essential, one cant know his mistakes and areas of improvement until and unless they self reflect. Dig out some time from your hectic schedule and try to focus on your goals and How you are achieving them or going to achieve them. Never ever tell yourself “I can’t” because that is a full stop on your journey to success. Good things will come to you but all what is needed from you is to keep moving, keep learning and be consistent learn from your failures and come back with something more pushing. Always remember that “Only You Can” no one is going to come and write your story, you are on your own.

Tip 2: (Get Out Of your Comfort Zone) Everything requires a sacrifice, The bigger your goal is the more efforts you have to put for it. No one is going to serve you success in your bed. You have to come out and face the hardships of world, burn the midnight oil for that one day When you will say “I am the king of the world”. There is a famous saying Work Hard or go Home.

Tip3: (Create New Habits) It doesn’t means to leave the old ones but it means to create such Powerful Habits that can make you learn new things. So that you can master your goals and achievements. At least try learning one thing (out of the box) daily to have a developing mindset.

Tip4: (Ask People Help) Today many people have ego problems when asking help from others. You must know that one cannot master in every field. Asking for help from people can bring you new ideas and thoughts and think about your problems more innovatively and can make your decisions more reliable.

Tip5: (Fake it till you make It) Pretend like you have achieved or you are about to achieve success. It can help you keep yourself motivated and stay away from the thought of failure. It is expected that pretending you are about to achieve your goal, you can easily cross the hurdles in your path of success.

My favorite tip is Get out of your comfort zone and I am implementing Tip1 and Tip2 in my life right now.
Reflecting on the 5 Amal Totkay
By: Muhammad Ahson
Tags: Amal Fellowship, Amal Totkay, Amal Academy

5 tips of amal totkay are:

1) Self talk

2) Get out of your comfort zone

3) Create new habits

4)Ask people help

5) Fake it till you make it

I believe these 5 tips are necessary for any individual to grow and succeed in his professional life. One can only act on these principles if one has reached the level of self reflection and growth mindset. These 5 tips are pertinent for achieving your desired goals.

My favorite tip is getting out of comfort zone and faking it till you make it. They way “get out of your comfort zone works” is you put yourself in a difficult situation that you cannot get out of. Now to survive and progress, you have no choice but to overcome your barriers and reach a new level. Like an animated character once said “Plus Ultra”. Similarly, “fake it till you make it” also works in the same way. In order to inculcate a change or a new habit, you tell yourself that you already have within you what you want achieve. This gives you a sense of confidence and gives you the opportunity to perform to the best of your ability.

As for me, personally I have implemented getting out of your comfort zone and I am trying to apply “fake it till you make it”. By working with different people in different activities for amal session tasks for extremely short amounts of time, I believe I will be able to implement all 5 amal totkay.

I believe what remains now is it show consistency, resilience and a positive attitude to achieve my goals and move further in life while trying to inculcate these 5 totkays.
AMAL TOTKAY
By: Hasnain Ali
Tags: Amal Fellowship, Amal Totkay, Amal Academy

Experiences during your life journey, build you up. A meaningful experience can add value and meaning to your life, and, you can further illuminate the lives of your acquaintances. It means that a positive experience is contagious that continually flow from one recipient to the other.

I can call my life a book of experiences broadly. One of the meaningful experiences that I had during my life is of AMAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM. I would instead call it a journey than a fellowship program. It is essentially designed and oriented to hone the professional skills and growth mindset of the graduates, but it did much more as far as my life is concerned.

Here Amal share a list of totkay for Growth Mindset:

Self Talk:

Self-talk is something you do naturally throughout your waking hours. People are becoming more aware that positive self-talk is a powerful tool for increasing your self-confidence and curbing negative emotions. People who can master positive self-talk are thought to be more confident, motivated, and productive.

Get out of your comfort zone:

When in your comfort zone, your brain doesn’t want anything to change. Getting out of your comfort zone from time to time creates just enough good stress to ramp up your focus, creativity, pace, and drive, and it helps you respond to life stress when unexpected things happen.

Create new habits:

There are three main components to habit formation: the context cue, behavioral repetition, and the reward. A habit may initially be triggered by a goal, but over time that goal becomes less necessary and the habit becomes more automatic.

Ask People 4 help:

The psychological reason why it’s tough to ask for help

Asking for help often makes people feel uneasy because it requires surrendering control to someone else. “There are some people who really have a hard time with that piece of it,” she says. Another fear is being perceived as needy.

Fake it until you make it:

We all know the phrase, “fake it until you make it.” And if you’re honest with yourself, you think, “that’s great until people figure out I’m faking it.” As it happens, faking it may help you become it. This idea originates with social psychologist, Amy Cuddy.

When we started Amal the first task we were given was based on the 1st principle of Amal that is Amal. I did a great task to water the plants and this plant was one of them. I watered it and it the Jasmine plant. Now, whenever I pass nearby, its smell makes me memorize that first principle of Amal. It was a great experience with Amal PW’s. There is nothing cool like them. The Amazement made by PWs that we did in groups was memorable. I was just curious about the thing When I started the journey at Amal.

The thing that we learned in the 1st two weeks includes teamwork, kindness, kaam kaam kaam and most importantly the professionalism to create the comfort zone for other by getting out of our comfort zone. The thing that I have discovered through the whole journey belongs to my weaknesses in my professional life. I used to take the interviews easy but the Amal has made me realized that they are easy only if I prepare for them. Amal has made me oriented towards my goals and the credited goose to the Amal curriculum team and my mentors. We should have mentors to boost our output. It was a great journey and most importantly I got lovely friends there.
Amal Growth Mindset Toolkit
By: Ali Hamza
Tags: Amal Fellowship, Amal Totkay, Amal Academy, Juststart Project

Amal totkay or growth mindset toolkit is basically a package of very useful tips for successful life which include

Self Talk Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone Create New Habits Ask People For Help Fake It Till You Make It

All these tips are very useful for growing mind set, Like self talk is a way to know yourself by asking questions and finding answers, thinking about your mistakes and ways to improve them if at some point you think during your work you are unable to do it, when you talk yourself you think about your goals which make you determined and keep on moving toward success.

Get out of your comfort zone is essential to do some thing because if did not face trouble or just avoid difficulties there are less chances of success as it demands hard work so, adopting the habit of working hard is necessary to achieve your goals. If you want to get some thing you never had, you will have to do some thing that you have never done before because life (Success)exists out of comfort zone.

Being open to accept and adopt positive changes in life is sign of growth mind set it helps you to be successful in life if you are suborn and avoid to accept changes your life will stuck at a point from which you will never get out and its rule of nature those survive in this universe who keep on changing according to the need of nature so if some want to to be successful must be open to accept challenges and creating new habits. Good habits are as addictive as bad habits but more rewarding.

We are humans and we can not do everything at some point we need help even we do that thing but to do it effectively we need some help so there should be courage to ask for help and this quality is as necessary as all others to get success. Asking for help is a strength so never afraid to ask for help.

Fake it until you make it is a quality to act like you know everything as its human nature its mind work on specific thing very effectively which is continuously pushing it so if some one try to do some thing no matter he has no experience but if he is determined one day he will get his goal.

All of these qualities are useful to adopt for successful life. I like two qualities to work on them 1st is asking for help because I have never asked for help and always try to do everything myself, as to do my work myself make me comfortable. Second one is fake it until you make it is a quality which is totally missing inside me and I would like to adopt it because its necessary for future motivation and success.
Getting Closer to my Mega Project Problem
By: M Usman
Tags: Amalkindness, Amal Fellowship, Amal Totkay, Amal Academy

At first when I was asked to think about a project to work on I was very confused and my mind didn’t come up with anything. I couldn’t even decide whether I should work on an entrepreneurial idea or I should work on social welfare. I was so stressed that I walked out of my house and I started walking. My house is very near canal road. As I was walking I immediately noticed that a kite(cheel) was attacking a small bird and destroying its nest. There were a lot of kites in the sky at that time.

I felt really sad after watching this but then i thought it is part of nature. But when i observed the situation closely i saw a person throwing meat on the sidewalk of canal road and kites were flying because of that.

I came home and i searched about it and i was bewildered to know that the species of birds have reduced from 850 to 80 in lahore due to urbanization. And due to this sadqa meat small birds are also suffering a lot.

I conducted an online search abou it where I came across an article in which Dr Zulfiqar Ali, a professor at the Punjab University Zoology Department, says his students only managed to find 10 to 15 varieties in a daylong study of the city’s winged population. He says that when they tried doing the same exercise for a full week, they identified 50 species. He believes the number may still be as high as 80 species of birds if migratory birds are included. However, the fact remains, he says, that Lahore has lost more than half of its bird species, which is an alarming sign for the local ecological system.

He says that there are also indirect advantages of these pest controllers as they safeguard crops and fields. “They help plants and trees with pollination and seed dispersal.”

Reflection on Amal “Totky”
By: Mahnoor Mehfooz
Tags: Growth Mindset, Fixed Mindset, Motivational, Amal Totkay, Comfort Zone

Growth Mindset

Having a growth mindset, you believe that your intelligence and talents can be improved or developed with time. On the other hand, a fixed mindset means that you think your intelligence and skills are static and limited, so you avoid the challenges and threats of others’ success.

To achieve a growth mindset, Amal Academy shared their five “totky” with us, which we used to develop a growth mindset. Following are the Amal totky.

1) Self-talk.

2) Get out of your comfort zone.

3) Create new habits.

4) Ask people for help.

5) Fake it till you make it.

I am sure that these Five totkys will be very beneficial for the development of a growth mindset, but my favorite tips are self-talk and get out of your comfort zone.

Self-Talk

Already I am practicing these both. I am trying to talk with myself because Listening to yourself is the easy way to know your mind’s nature and interests. I motivate myself that I can do anything; nothing is impossible. I drag myself away from the negative thoughts.

Come out of bubble

I put myself in challenges to get myself out of my comfort zone and experience new things. Without getting out of the box, I can’t grow and can’t learn new skills because if you genuinely want to do something, you first have to come out of your bubble. Sometimes it’s not easy for me, but I know that experiencing new things and getting out of the box brings freedom in our lives.

Takeaway:

Believe in yourself and experiment with new things is crucial for success. No one in this world is perfect. All of us need to get out of our Comfort zones and see ourselves through different angles and perspectives and discover ourselves. Put a smile on your face, be strong, and pretend that you are happy and fine when you are not. It will make you forget that you were feeling low.

For me, there are two best tips. Create new habits and fake it until you make it. I have some unhealthy habits that needs to be changed. so, I will make now habits to change my routine.

I have started implementing “Get out of your comfort zone”. I am doing multiple things these days like Freelancing, Amal, Exams, FYP, Presentation and I achieved this multitasking by stepping out of my comfort zone.

For developing growth mindset first, we need to accept that we need a change, we need to accept that we have something missing in out personality, this is the first step to do. After accepting we should start doing Amal by getting out of our comfort zone.
Amal Totkey for developing Growth Mind-set
By: Ateka Malik
Tags: Amal Fellowship, Amal Totkay, Amal Academy

To develop an entrepreneurial mind-set we should try to adopt a growth mind-set. Not everyone has a growth mind-set from the beginning but we have to develop it. In the picture below you can see the difference between fixed and growth mind-set.

Growth Mind-set Vs. Fixed Mind-set

You might be thinking about how to develop it. So, Amal gave up some very useful totkay to develop a growth mind-set .

The first totka was self-talk. I think it’s very necessary to do self-reflection. Because no one knows us better than ourselves. If we want to grow positively we have to think and talk with ourselves positively. Because what we think will reflect what we will become. Thoughts create reality. The second tip was to get out of our comfort zone. If we will remain in our comfort zone we are restricting ourselves to a limited area, we are not willing to grow. So, to grow we should get out of our comfort zone and work hard to achieve success. The third tip was to create new habits. To develop a growth mind-set we should have to adopt new powerful habits. It will give you a sense of achievement daily if you will learn and adopt a new habit daily. The fourth tip is to get feedback from the ones who you consider are most honest with you. It can be your friends, family members or even your teachers. Constructive feedback will help you a lot to grow and will help you identify your weak points which may be missing from your side. The fifth tip is “fake it until you make it”. It means if you want to develop some habits you cannot develop them at once but you should start by pretending it. For example, you want to be like someone so you can start by behaving like them. Studies tell that if we start practicing something eventually it will become a part of our nature.

I think all the above tips are helpful. But my favourite tip was the first tip which is self-reflection. Because I think it will greatly help me to find what I did in my day and it will motivate me to do more in the coming days. I have decided to implement this tip and from now on I will try to think of all of the learnings of the day and continue practicing them in the coming days as well.
AMAL TOTKAY

Tags: Courage, Amal Academy, Amal Totkay, Motivation, Confidence

Amal always gives me creative way to improve myself . Amal totkay is one of these ways . So what are Amal totkay. Amal totkay are the five tips that help you to develop an entrepreneurial mindset.

First totka: Self Talk

Self talk has always been my favorite hobby and this is my favorite tip. Self talk is a way of communicating your inner self. When you start to talk to yourself in a positive way you get motivated and develop a growth mindset because your mind processes things that you tell it to do. For instance if I tell myself in front of a mirror that I look pretty my mind will automatically start to admire myself.

Second totka: Get out of your comfort zone

We will never be able to grow or learn new things if we bound ourselves to certain limits . We need to continuously challenge ourselves and improve ourselves only then we will be able to fight this changing world and this can be done only when we are ready to leave our comfort zone

So success lies out of your comfort zone.

Third totka: Create new habits

Explore yourself by creating new habits. Don’t just sit and repeat your regular routine but instead try to implement new things in your routine. This is a way to move from fixed mindset to growth mindset.

Fourth totka: Ask people help

Sometimes you get stuck with certain things . You are not able to solve them all by yourself. At that time muster up some courage go to the people who you think have skills to solve that problem and ask for help.

Fifth totka: Fake it till you make it

This totka suggests that if you pretend to be someone that you are not actually then finally you end up being like this.

“You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually, you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this clearly, you must pretend and invent.”

― Paulo Coelho

By applying this tip we can convert ourselves from being introvert to extrovert from being shy to confident.
Developing a Growth Mindset
By: Ayesha Zia
Tags: Amal Totkay, Amal Fellowship, Growth Mindset, Fixed Mindset

A growth mindset means that you believe your intelligence and talents can be developed over time, practice and efforts can lead to mastery. A person with a growth mindset takes the success of others as inspiration.

A fixed mindset means that you believe intelligence is fixed. So if you are not good at something, you might believe you will never be good at it and efforts with practice have no importance. Moreover, a person with a fixed mindset takes success of others as threat or jealousy.

In order to have a growth mindset and improve with time, there are some important tips to work on, named as Amal Totkay.

1. Self-Talk

2. Get out of your comfort zone

3. Create new habits

4. Ask people for help

5. Fake it till you make it

Self-Talk:

Self-Talk is having a discussion with yourself. When you have a discussion with yourself it impacts your mind and it is necessary to have a positive impact to be a person with a growth mindset. So rather than saying that you cannot do, think that you can do.

Get out of your comfort zone:

Putting yourself in a position where you can upgrade you mindset is very important even if it is not in your comfort zone and disturbs you. This slight disturbance can resultantly give you a great experience and learning. Like if you are afraid of public speaking, start speaking in public.

Create new habits:

Create new habits to have a growth mindset. This can help you gain new knowledge. You can try listing down your daily improvements, so this can help you know about your current position.

Ask people for help:

As you are working on yourself to develop a growth mindset it is important to get feedback from people that are sincere with you. So that you can further work on your areas of improvement. You can ask people around you, how you have changed in behavior or attitude or communication.

Fake it till you make it:

Research shows that if you act as you are competent and confident in an area, will eventually lead to improved competence and confidence. So, fake it till you make it.

From all of those tips mentioned above, “Fake it till you make it” is my favorite tip for growth mindset. The reason behind this is, when you act as what you want to adopt or improve something you automatically start implementing it in your life and finally you get to achieve a growth mindset. I have started implementing this tip in my life. As I want to improve my communication skills. So, I have started speaking English language with my friends and family that helps me practice and improve communication skills.

How to solve daily life problems
By: Fatima Noor
Tags: Amal Totkay, Amal Academy, Amaltips

Sometimes incidents in our life do not happen according to our wish and it seems difficult to tackle with those problems. It mostly happens when there is load shedding and you have to iron your clothes. To solve these problems we have to think out of the box. We have to develop a growth mindset. As,

Necessity is the mother of invention

There can be some creative solutions for these problems. Amal Totkay give me an idea about how important these creative solutions are in our life. Some people might be wondering what type of the term “totkay” is. Totka is a word used in Urdu language; it means creative tips in English. Totka can be taken in the sense of jugaad, a word famous in Punjabi language.

I find some totkay very interesting and I want to share these tips with my readers

Image Credit: Amal Academy

The solutions in above picture might seem to be funny but they are reasonable. If there is no fuel in stove to cook food then it is better to use candles instead of dying out of hunger. These totkay sometimes make our lives easy and interesting for us.

They found these 5 tips by examining the different people and by getting different opinions from people of different cultures and different living conditions. My takeaways from these 5 tips are that by experiencing these tips one can really get confidence of doing his work and also these are the best ways of discovering oneself on their own.

I think by self-talk that the first tip is best for the people for finding their whys. By asking themself they can be able to find their negative aspects and also discover their good sides.

The second tip is “get out of your comfort zone” by applying it. They are able to work hard even when one starts doing work then his mind forces himself to work hard and do that work until completion.

By applying 3rd tip “create new habit” one can accept the new challenges and get new experiences for their improvement. they create new habits and that polished them.

sometimes you are not good in some work. You should have to ask people for help and

by “ask people help” that is 4th tip one can be able to do his work completely and that

is good for time management

the last and not least the 5th tip is “fake it till you make it” is my fav tip because

It shows a person confident in front of other people.

So we should apply these Totkay in our daily life even we already applying these in our

daily life.

let take example:

By doing some for in a kitchen a girl uses the tip one “self talk” while cooking. When she does not able to do cooking then she apply the 2nd tip “get out of your comfort zone” and work harder to cook perfectly. While in kitchen a girls tries different types by applying “different habits” and even “ask for help” from the youtube and cooking books and sometimes stay confident in cooking because of different taunts from home.

Self Talk

It is an ability of a person to question itself that weather he or she is capable of doing a thing or no. we can question ourselves day in and day out in such a way that we overcome our weakness and enhance our abilities to make ourselves a better version of ourselves

Getting out of comfort zone

you can never achieve our goals unit we are out of our comfort zone progress in any field is the name of discomfort and days and nights of struggle and hard work after all

we need to step out

Create new habbits

its always good to create new good habits to learn new abilities that lies within ones self and the is the quality of a growth mindset to learn as much and from anywhere possible explore your past and learn from them adopt new habits which will help in life further.

A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.

Ask for help

As human being we all are not perfect and lack in some part and when the need arises never hesitate to ask an expert on guidance. There is no institute in the world which is working all by its own everyone need help weather it may be in a form of advice or employee etc.

Fake it till you make it

we should never release our plan until they are accomplished it makes you over confident and decreases it chances of succeeding so we should always wait until the mission is completed

There are five amal totkay for growth mindset.

i.Self Talk

ii.Get out of your comfort zone.

iii.Create new habits

iv. Ask people help

v. Fake it till you make it.

I found these tips quite helpful. These are just the simple tips to move towards the growth mindset and ace your goals.

My takeaway from these tips are that the first and most important thing is to believe in yourself and then don’t expect everything to be in your favor. We have to struggle for our goals no matter how difficult and impossible it seems. Then make some habits to help you achieve a growth mindset , keep self reflecting and also ask your friends whether they find any good changes and then fake that behavior until it becomes real.

My favorite tip is “Get out of your comfort zone” because this is the point which I feel is the most difficult to apply and once you do it everything becomes easy.

I self analyzed that I have had a negative mindset that “I can’t do anything” or “I am not capable enough” and also I never felt confident about my viewpoints. So I changed my thought that at least I should try my best and then decide whether I can do it or not and I started sharing my viewpoints with people. This is the best thing that I have learned in Amal: be confident in your points.

We can adopt a growth mindset by neglecting all the negative thoughts and start thinking positively and not only start taking action and keep a check on our progress and keep trying until we succeed.

The online course, Entrepreneurship: Dissecting Myths and Case Studies discussed 5 totkay or tools to develop a growth mindset. i.e., Self-talk, Get out of your comfort zone, create new habits, ask people for help, and fake it till you make it.

Below is my personal reflection on them.

1- By telling yourself to “stop” during a negative thought, asking yourself questions, dictating yourself to meet the goals, and talking yourself in a motivational manner can help to boost the growth mindset.

2- Getting out of your comfort zone and practicing things you thought were tough or undoable can actually help to push the limits and broaden the mental horizon.

3- Creating a new habit in terms of a hobby, i.e., reading books or doing online short courses, can help you expand your vision and knowledge.

4- By asking people for help, one comes forward to ideas and thoughts that he alone can not think of and gets to know the flaws in his own plans.

5- Pretending to be successful till you actually make, helps to keep your morale high. This mindset also helps you stand up again and try again if you have failed at something.

My favorite one is self-talk. This is the one thing I do most of the time. Self-reflection helps me to find my mistakes and guides me to the right path.

As a shy and introverted person, I avoid asking questions and asking for help. But from today, I will work on the habit of asking other people for help.

Reflection on Amal Totkay :

Amal Totkay are 5 wholesome remedies to ensure success and growth mindset for any individual that is capable of embracing change. These include:

1. Self-Talk.

2. Get out of your Comfort Zone.

3. Create New Habits.

4. Ask People Help.

5. Fake it till you make it.

These five tips are amazing and play a great role towards nurturing and cultivating personal and professional growth in an individual, they teach a person to own up and take responsibility and then fulfil that responsibility with persistence and hard work.

If a person wants to change his static mindset into a growth mindset, he needs to adapt these totkay in his life daily, maximum times a day and voila success is just a blink away.

One of the tips that I believe has a special place is Ask People for HELP. Often in our day-to-day chores we come across things/ tasks that seem overwhelmingly exhaustive and drain our energy and positivity. During testing times like these all we need to do is ask for help from someone rather than trying to figure out everything in our own head. An outsider sometimes provides a new outlook and allows us to see things differently and clearly. One of the determining factors here is to choose the person you are seeking help from wisely; he should be someone who knows the field inside out and is able to address your concerns in a well-deserved manner.

Getting out of the comfort zone is also a golden tip that allows us to put ourselves in new and challenging situations and then learn from them. This makes sure that we level up our game by tackling issues that are regarded as difficult and incorporate a true growth mindset within ourselves.

One of the takeaways amongst these totkay that can implemented in no time is, fake it till you make out. In the long and tiresome journey of achieving a growth mindset, at times all it takes is to actually start believing you already have it. It is more like faking what you desire, and you will end up achieving it. If a confident personality is what you wish for start acting confident and it will work for sure. This is one of the things that can be done from the following day in order to nurture growth mindset.

Amal Totkay are actually shortcuts that lead to developing a growth mindset. Follow this diligently if you wish to do the same.
