Mindset
Mindset is a fixed mental attitude that predetermines a person’s responses to and understandings of situations. It is the mental, tendency, or habit that impacts how you make sense of the world, and how you make sense of yourself. A person’s usual attitude or mental state is his or her mindset.
And your thought habits affect how you think, what you feel, and what you do. Your mindset is a big deal since, on one hand, it dictate how you view yourself and the world around you and on the other hand it can also create self-imposed limitations within your own belief system.
The traditional mindset definition refers to an individual’s way of thinking.
Growth mindsets, on the other hand, result in passion for learning. An eagerness to work hard and discover new things. To seek challenges and grow as a person. People with a growth mindset don’t view failure as disappointment. Instead, it is a learning experience that lead to growth and sharpening.
Changing mindset is what we should use to maintain our self-esteem and positive attitude in tough times. Let me propose a practical technique to modify your mind-set when needed.

a.????Don’t stuck on why
When disappointments come in your way or you encounter a major setback, you will either get bitter or feel better. People who get bitter are those who ask “Why?”.?It is fine to ask “Why?” to analyse and explore reasons with a critical eye that aims at finding ways to improve. The “why?” you need to avoid is the one that will open the doors of denial and disappointments.
They might spend hours, days, weeks and months in disappointment and blame.?When stuck in this “Why?” you put yourself in a state of negative affirmation and confirm that life is treating you unfairly and you victimize yourself. While these are normal feelings, sticking to them for long will take you nowhere. In the end you will make your life very bitter.
a.????Use the power of how
Those who get better at times of disappointments ask themselves “How? they can go through the situation”. They look for lessons in the difficult times. They know lessons are there and try to find them.
