Having a fixed mindset can keep people trapped in loneliness and isolation. Here's how they can break free.
To combat loneliness with a growth mindset and tackle the fixed mindset trap:
Visualize the first step in your plan and put it in your calendar. For example, set up a specific time to attend that meeting of a volunteer group or invite an interesting neighbor or colleague to meet up for lunch so that you may get to know them better. Begin the shift to a growth mindset by telling yourself, “Effort and difficulty are anticipated as I make changes that are important to me.”
Tolerate these fixed mindset feelings and take the next growth step to move closer to the relationships that you desire. These feelings are likely as you reach for connections that are significant to you. To feel them means you’re challenging yourself and tackling the very human condition of loneliness.Dweck, C. S. .
