Lesson Opening: "The Mindset Shift Challenge"

Welcome to Class!

As we dive into today’s topic of Mindset, let's start with an engaging exercise that sets the stage for our entire lesson. I invite you to participate in the Mindset Shift Challenge.

The Mysterious Box

Objective:

To reflect on your current mindset and consider the possibilities of shifting towards a growth-oriented perspective.

Materials Needed:

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Box: Place the box in sight of the class. This will be our "Mindset Box."
  2. Reflection Time: Take a few minutes to think about a specific area in your life where you might feel stuck or limited—this could be in your career, personal life, or any other domain.
  3. Write It Down: On a slip of paper, note down the limiting belief you hold about this area. For example:
    • “I am not good at public speaking.”
    • “I will never achieve my fitness goals.”
  4. Share and Transform: After writing, you have two options:
    • Option A: Share your belief with the class—create a space for discussion and support.
    • Option B: Fold the paper and place it in the Mindset Box without sharing (feel free to keep it private in this instance).

Group Discussion:

Once everyone has either shared or submitted their beliefs, we’ll discuss as a group the common themes we observe. This is a great way to identify how many of us face similar challenges and to highlight the power of community in overcoming them.

Transition into Learning

Now that we have opened up about our limiting beliefs, let’s delve into the concept of Mindset and how identifying and redefining those beliefs can lead to personal development. Throughout today’s lesson, we will explore the differences between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and practice techniques to shift our thinking.

Conclusion

Remember, the goal is not just to recognize these limiting beliefs but to transform them into stepping stones for growth. Let’s embark on this journey together to discover the power of a growth mindset!

Feel free to take a deep breath, and let’s get started!
