Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, mental fitness fanatics, Welcome back to the Stoic
mind Jim, your daily dose of wisdom and workout for
your inner badass. I'm Dylan Brooks, your host and resident
hype man for all things stoic and awesome. Now buckle up,
because today we're diving headfirst into something that's going to
change the game for you. Cultivating a growth mindset. Ever

(00:21):
felt stuck like you hit a ceiling and no matter
how hard you try, you just can't seem to break through. That,
my friends, is often the telltale sign of a fixed
mindset creeping in. It's that voice in your head that says,
I'm just not good at this or this isn't my thinge.
But guess what that voice is a straight up liar.
Today we're going to smash that negativity and build an

(00:44):
unshakable belief in your ability to learn, grow, and become
the absolute best version of yourself. First things first, let's
talk about the difference between those two mindsets, fixed and growth.
Think of it like this. A fixed mindset is like
trying to run a marathon on with cinder blocks strapped
to your ankles. You feel weighed down, limited, and constantly

(01:05):
struggling against the odds. It's all about proving yourself, avoiding
challenges and fearing failure. A growth mindset, on the other hand,
is like taking off those cinder blocks and feeling the
wind in your hair as you hit a new personal best.
It's about embracing challenges, learning from failures, and constantly pushing
yourself beyond your perceived limits. Now, let's break down five

(01:28):
key takeaways to help you cultivate the glorious growth mindset. One.
Embrace challenges. Look life throws curveballs it's inevitable. Instead of
dodging them like they're a dodgeball in the middle school gym,
see challenges as opportunities for growth. Every obstacle you overcome
builds resilience, adds experience to your toolkit, and makes you

(01:49):
that much stronger. Think about it, Have you ever learned
something truly valuable by staying in your comfort zone? Probably not. Two.
Celebrate effort. Forget about dwelling on the outcome. It's the effort,
the persistence, the sheer grid you put into something that
truly matters. When you focus on the journey rather than
just the destination, every step forward becomes a victory. So

(02:13):
pat yourself on the back for showing up, for putting
in the work, and for refusing to give up. Free
learn from mistakes. This one is huge. Mistakes are not failures.
They're valuable feedback. They're like GPS signals, guiding you in
the right direction. Don't beat yourself up over them. Instead,
analyze what went wrong, figure out how you can do

(02:34):
better next time, and keep moving forward with renewed wisdom. Four.
Surround yourself with growth minded people. You are the average
of the five people you spend the most time with.
Choose your tribe. Wisely connect with individuals who inspire you,
who challenge you to grow, and who celebrate your successes
and help you dust yourself off after a stumble. Five.

(02:56):
Believe in your ability to change. This is the cornerstone
of a growth mind said, believing that you have the
power to learn, adapt and evolve. It's about understanding that
your abilities are not fixed. They are constantly developing and expanding,
So ditch those limiting beliefs and embrace the infinite possibilities
that lie ahead. Now, let me paint a picture for you.

(03:17):
Imagine this. You're trying out for a role in a play,
but nerves are getting the best of you. That voice,
that pesky fixed mindset voice, starts whispering doubts in your ear.
What if you mess up? You're not good enough? But
then you take a deep breath and remember what we
talked about today. You remind yourself that this is an
opportunity to learn, to push your boundaries, and to discover

(03:40):
something new about yourself. You visualize yourself delivering the lines
with confidence, embracing every stumble as a chance to improve,
and celebrating the effort you put in no matter the outcome.
That's a growth mindset in action. It's about showing up,
doing your best and learning from the experience, win or lose.
So you have it. Five actionable steps to cultivate that

(04:03):
unstoppable growth mindset. Remember this isn't a one time fix.
It's a daily practice, a continuous journey of self improvement.
Keep pushing yourself, keep embracing challenges, and keep believing in
your incredible ability to grow. Now, go out there and
make me proud. Share this episode with someone who could
benefit from a little growth mindset magic. Leave a review,

(04:26):
