(2009-04-08) Eby Dweck Fixed Mindset

Phillip J Eby learned from Carol Dweck how much of his thinking/teaching is colored by his "fixed" MindSet. Which means there's a very real chance that, had I wiped out the underlying "fixed" mindset first, I wouldn't have had to eliminate all those other issues... one by one by one. So, Sunday night, I took the time to do some mind-hacking on myself to purge all the "fixed" mindsets I could find, and replace them with Dweck's "growth" mindset: the belief that you can learn to do better, and change yourself through effort and practice... Now, my subconscious representation of time includes a vivid future... one in which I'm getting better at everything I do, by applying myself. And I no longer dwell on the past, the way I used to. (Something that makes more sense in the "fixed" mindset, where your past equals your future!)
