Self-belief, trust and patience are all essential skills to being a creative entrepreneur… but so is keeping a growth mindset fostered. Sometimes, it can feel harder to hold the vision and keep the faith, which means that having some mindset affirmations and mantras in your back pocket can be extremely beneficial. This blog post covers WHAT a growth mindset is plus 36 mantras for you to carry with you into your mindset practice.
What is a Growth Mindset?
A growth mindset is the state of mind that believes that at the end of the day, your abilities and talents can be continually developed. This mindset recognizes your talents as pure gifts and focuses on the future and self-improvement, rather than fixating on the past.
Take note, that a growth mindset does not mean that you always have to be positive, even in the wake of tragic or dark times. That’s toxic positivity! Conversely, a resilient growth-focused mindset is an ethos that focuses more on solutions rather than problems.

What is a “Mantra”?
The concept of ‘mantra’ originates in Buddhism and Hinduism, and refers to something you repeatedly tell yourself. It’s a mindset tool used to help with personal growth, and can even allow you to enter into a deep state of meditation.
Simply, a mantra is an empowering phrase you repeatedly tell yourself.
Mantras also tend to focus on one’s beliefs about the state of the world + life in general, whereas affirmations tend to focus more on one’s belief about self.
