The Gallery of Trying: Escaping the Fixed Mindset · insyed; cozy psychology

  Welcome to the museum of failure we call life,
• 0:05
  where a lot of us wake up, make mistakes, and
• 0:07
  go to bed with nothing but regret. What if it
• 0:12
  didn't have to be like this? What if instead
• 0:15
  of a museum of failure where everything is set
• 0:18
  forever, instead we saw a gallery of trying,
• 0:23
  where we get new pieces every single day? That's
• 0:27
  the difference between a growth mindset and a
• 0:29
  fixed mindset. People with a fixed mindset, they
• 0:32
  see challenges and mistakes as nothing but proof
• 0:36
  that they're incapable. But people with a growth
• 0:40
  mindset, they understand that making these decisions,
• 0:43
  sometimes bad ones, is part of the process. They
• 0:48
  know that sometimes it takes mistakes to be able
• 0:51
  to know where to go next. And this is the basis
• 0:54
  of Carol Dweck's mindset theory. She says that
• 0:58
  If you believe that your brain can change, that
• 1:01
  it's malleable, you'll start to see things differently.
• 1:05
  You'll start seeing a sequel to a story that
• 1:08
  you thought had already ended. Now I started
• 1:11
  journaling again, and I used to do it daily back
• 1:14
  then, but for no reason I stopped. When I started
• 1:18
  it back up again, I was worried that I wasn't
• 1:21
  able to write like how I did in the past. But
• 1:24
  despite it all, it's still me. And in the same
• 1:29
  way, you are still you. Look at how much you've
• 1:33
  grown. Think of all the people you've met and
• 1:36
  let go. All the stars and flowers you got to
• 1:39
  see bloom. And it's wonderful to imagine how
• 1:43
  many sunsets you got to see paint the sky. Every
• 1:47
  day is a new entry in our gallery. So I'm inviting
• 1:52
  you to make your gallery glow. And it's important
• 1:57
  to acknowledge that things will get difficult.
• 2:00
  And I don't want you to discount your feelings
• 2:02
  of fear and anxiety because those emotions are
• 2:05
  real too. So I'm kindly asking you to please
• 2:09
  take care of yourself as well. Because in the
• 2:11
  end, you're the only person you can always come
• 2:14
  back to. So please take care of yourself. Thank
• 2:17
  you for being here and goodbye.
