Someone with a fixed mindset is very outcome focused. A fixed mindset assumes our intelligence, our athletic abilities and our creative abilities are set. You may feel you shouldn’t do things unless you can do them well, and give up new things easily if you don’t pick them up.

Have you ever had a day off, but at the back of your mind you felt guilty and like you ‘should’ be doing something? Maybe you do something that’s still ‘productive’ like the laundry or getting the groceries done, just to alleviate some of that guilt?
