Growth Mindset & Goal Setting

Your brain is not finished growing. Every time you push through something hard, the cells in your brain build new connections. The way you think about your own ability shapes how much you actually grow — and that mindset is something you can choose.

What this lesson teaches

1Distinguish a growth mindset from a fixed mindset
2Rewrite a fixed-mindset thought using the word 'yet'
3Set a SMART goal with clear, measurable success
4Plan two small effort steps that move the goal forward
