Amal Totkay

Your thinking plays a vital role in how you cope with life’s challenges. In school, a growth mindset can contribute to greater success and greater effort. When faced with a crisis such as trying to find a new job, people with growing minds show great resilience.

Our mindset is just stems of our own powerful belief. We can develop more power more believe to achieve our goals.

To enhance our growth mindset we should follow these Amal Totkay in your daily life:

1- Talk to yourself

2- Get out of your comfort zone

3- Create new Habits

4- Ask people to help

5- Fake it till you make it

Self Talk:

Self-talk is something you do naturally throughout your waking hours. People are increasingly aware that positive speech is a powerful tool for boosting your self-confidence and reducing negative emotions. People who are good at speaking well are thought to be more confident, motivated and productive.

The more you work on improving your self-talk, the easier you’ll find it. It’s kind of like practising an instrument or going to sports training: it won’t be easy to start with, but you’ll get better with time.

It might not seem like much, but self-talk is a huge part of our self-esteem and confidence. By working on replacing negative self-talk with more positive self-talk, you’re more likely to feel in control of stuff that’s going on in your life and to achieve your goals.

Get out of your comfort zone:

Especially when things are stressful, many of us resort to staying in our comfort zones — doing, saying, watching, or eating things that we already know. That’s fine, of course. Many people will spend their entire lives there, never venturing outside to see what they could have or might be capable of achieving. But there is a cost for living our lives this way. While staying inside our bubble offers instant benefits, we end up sacrificing the potential for much better possibilities down the road.

Create New Habits:

When most people struggle to build new habits, they say something like, “I just need more motivation.” Or, “I wish I had as much willpower as you do.”

This is the wrong approach. Solve this problem by picking a new habit that is easy enough that you don’t need motivation to do it. Rather than starting with 50 pushups per day, start with 5 pushups per day. Rather than trying to meditate for 10 minutes per day, start by meditating for one minute per day. Make it easy enough that you can get it done without motivation.

Ask People for Help:

People often feel uncomfortable asking for help and some people even think it swallows their pride. It takes courage to reach out to someone and then say that you can’t handle it or that you are not sure about something or that you need someone you trust or you need a shoulder to cry on. We must teach young people to be comfortable while asking for help from others because it is the most important skill they need to succeed in life.

Fake it till you make it:

It’s easy to look at self-assured people and wish, “Oh, if only I could be that confident, that self-assured, that easy-going.” Well, let me tell you that lots of those people, who look so self-assured, aren’t. They feel shy, shaky, even terrified on the inside, yet they present as competent and confident on the outside.

One of the most common problems people face is, for example, low self-esteem. As you grow your business or further your work, sometimes you will have to present a presentation in a crowded room, to add an idea, a product or to raise money. Or you may know your stuff back then, if you are not naturally confident in a situation like that you may still feel nauseous hours ahead of time. There is only one way to go through it, force yourself to do it anyway. Swallow your fears, get up and deliver your message. In fact, unless you are completely separated no one will know how scared you were at that moment because you pretended to feel differently. This can improve your skills and you will get used to it later.
