Warning!

I have seen fixed mindsets holding back my Autonomic Angels again and again. So I thought about writing this to ensure that none of you ends up being an unwitting victim of this fixed mindset flop. 

 Here are 3 signs that you could be a victim of a fixed mindset:

First, you give up easily. 

If you find yourself having a small knock and feeling like a failure then you, my dear, may be falling victim to a fixed mindset. 

Second, you think that nursing has to be hard.

Do you and be honest with yourself, believe the following statements?

‘I can enjoy my work as a nurse. I can work the hours I wish. I can leave work energised’.

Too many people think nursing has to be hard, manual, exhausting and unfulfilling work? Fake news! Nursing is whatever you make it. 

Third, you think you cannot improve on something 

Is there a skill you want to pick up? But don’t believe you can do it. ‘It doesn’t come naturally to me’. Is that you? If you think skills are only for those for whom it comes naturally then my friend we have to chat. 

So are you a victim of a fixed mindset?

If you are, don’t worry. It is still not too late! You can still turn things around, starting now.

All you have to do is to start slowly looking for the good in each day. I think gratitude is a perfect place to start for those wanting to incorporate a growth mindset into their lives. 

Of course, it is easier said than done, but it CAN be done.

I want to see you succeed, so I hope that for the next week, without fail, you will note 3 good things about your shift as you leave the ward. Snap a pic, write out your 3 and tag me in a post on your socials. Encourage others to follow and we can change the world!
