1 Cultivate a growth mindset

A growth mindset is the belief that you can improve your abilities and learn from your experiences, rather than seeing them as fixed or limiting. A growth mindset helps you embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, rather than avoid or fear them. It also helps you see feedback as constructive, rather than personal or negative. To cultivate a growth mindset, try to focus on the process and the effort, rather than the outcome and the result. Celebrate your progress and achievements, but also acknowledge your mistakes and failures as valuable lessons. Seek feedback and criticism, and use it to improve your work and skills.

Tackling challenges is one of the best ways a designer can learn various strategies. The art of balancing your confidence while also maintaining a positive growth mindset is all that truly matters. But it doesn't mean that learning will always be challenging. It depends on how we convert it into a sportive way of learning.

Develop a Growth Mindset: Believe your skills can improve, and see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. Focus on the process and effort you put in, not just the final outcome. Embrace feedback, even critical feedback, as a chance to refine your work. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself! Rejection or setbacks are part of the design journey. Acknowledge your frustrations but don't dwell on them. Celebrate your achievements, big and small. Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with other designers, mentors, or friends who understand the design world. Share challenges and experiences, and offer support to each other. Online communities and forums can also be a great source of connection and advice.

2 Practice self-compassion

Self-compassion is the ability to treat yourself with kindness and understanding, especially when you face difficulties or disappointments. Self-compassion helps you cope with stress and negative emotions, and reduces the impact of self-criticism and perfectionism. It also helps you accept yourself and your work, without being too harsh or unrealistic. To practice self-compassion, try to be mindful of your feelings and thoughts, without judging or suppressing them. Recognize that you are not alone in your struggles, and that everyone makes mistakes and faces challenges. Be supportive and encouraging to yourself, as you would to a friend or a colleague.

Do keep a private portfolio of work you have done but not accepted or liked by the customer. It is your time, energy and creativity. Embrace it. Keep it. Honour it. There is a huge variety of likes and tastes. The work that was not accepted by one client may be a door opener for other clients and projects. If the design do not meet the need and you have to work on it again, this is how we become great designers. Being a designer need a kaleidoscopic mind set. We adapt to change and create new stuff easily. Take your frustration and look at it from a different perspective and a new mindset and you will be fine.

3 Build a support network

A support network is a group of people who can offer you emotional and practical help, advice, and feedback, when you face challenges or need guidance. A support network can include your friends, family, mentors, peers, or coworkers, who share your interests, values, and goals. A support network can help you feel less isolated and overwhelmed, and more connected and motivated. It can also provide you with different perspectives and insights, that can enrich your work and creativity. To build a support network, try to reach out to people who inspire you, respect you, and challenge you. Share your ideas, experiences, and feedback with them, and listen to theirs. Seek mentorship and collaboration, and offer support and gratitude.

4 Embrace change and uncertainty

Change and uncertainty are inevitable in design, as projects, clients, technologies, and trends can vary and evolve rapidly. Change and uncertainty can be stressful and daunting, but they can also be exciting and stimulating. They can push you out of your comfort zone, and expose you to new possibilities and opportunities. They can also help you develop new skills and competencies, and adapt to different situations and contexts. To embrace change and uncertainty, try to be flexible and open-minded, rather than rigid and resistant. Anticipate and prepare for potential changes and challenges, but also be ready to improvise and experiment. Learn from your experiences, and adjust your strategies and goals accordingly.

As designers, as in all creative activities, it is essential that we are able to overcome the frustration, we have to be flexible and open to change. Design is an activity that is often judged subjectively. IF we do not develop these qualities, it will be difficult for us to iterate, learn and perfect ourselves, with which we will remain isolated and with a fair if not poor performance.

Challenges are always there when you are working, as a designer what matters is how you embrace them, - For starters always create your personalised design library and save designs of different artists from all over the world to broaden your perspective. - Change your working environment for example if you are working in a room change your place maybe go sit by the window and work their. - Be open to experiments and changes as an indication to growth. - Share your content and ideas with senior designers - Instruct junior designers regarding their problems. Its a repetitive process that keeps on repeating .

5 Take care of yourself

Taking care of yourself is essential for your physical and mental well-being, and your performance and productivity as a designer. Taking care of yourself means meeting your basic needs, such as getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and relaxing. It also means setting healthy boundaries, such as managing your time, prioritizing your tasks, saying no when necessary, and asking for help when needed. It also means pursuing your passions, hobbies, and interests, that can nourish your creativity and happiness. To take care of yourself, try to establish a regular and balanced routine, that suits your preferences and goals. Monitor your energy and mood levels, and take breaks and rest when you feel tired or overwhelmed. Reward yourself for your efforts and achievements, and have fun and enjoy your work.
