You CAN transition from one the other, by practicing shifting your thought patterns. If that sounds difficult, it can be, at least at first - BUT notice JUST NOW, you had a "Fixed Mindset" thought... (see what I did there, it was a little test). The work, is worth it, and it's relatively simple.
Practice This: Today, see if you can notice all the times your brain immediately goes into a "Fixed Mindset" and see if you can replace that thought with a "Growth Mindset" phrase instead. I gave some examples above.
If you have one that you don't know how to rephrase, drop a comment below and I'll help you out!
