Growth Mindset Prompts

Some prompts I have in my notebook that I find handy, especially on the tough days.

• What did I learn from today?
• What steps did I take to be more successful, what can I do tomorrow?
• What strategies did I use today, and how would I change them for tomorrow?
• How did I keep going when things got tough?
• What did I learn from others?

And then a few reminders to myself:

• This is challenging, believe you can do it.
• I might not have got there yet, but I will if I keep working and thinking about it
• Appreciate you gave it a good shot - sometimes that's all you can do.
• It is OK to take risks - this is sometimes how that feels.
• If you surround yourself with smart people sometimes you will feel like the dumbest person in the room. Don't let it get to you.
• Getting better takes time - and I can see myself improving
• Learn and move on

Does anyone have any other good ones that work for them?

Appreciate you gave it a good shot - sometimes that's all you can do.

This has been my mantra this year. Good post Mark! Always a pleasure reading your stuff!

Here are some of my "prompts" as you call them. Hope you find value in them. Cool post!

• Did I teach something today to one of my junior peers?
• When explaining things, was I patient and attentive with whoever needed help?
• Was I able to be a pleasant co-worker today?
• Did I have a positive outlook on issues that were presented to me?
