Hey guys.
So one thing I've noticed about myself is that I have a very strong fixed mindset and not a growth mindset at all. ( In reference to those who have read Carl Dweck's "Mindset")
I have grown up for many things to come very easily to me. Sciences, math, technology, music etc. Because of this I have come to grow a fixed mindset where if I have something that comes easily to me, i'll do it until I feel like I'm good enough. Once I'm at that point I'll stop. If I fail at something I give up.
If I feel like I'm not as good at something or if it's hard for me to catch on to it, I give up easily. Literally the only thing that I've done to push myself in the past was working out. I tend to lose interest in things that don't come as easily to me, and if I fail I give up.
Has anyone else had this problem? I've been naturally good at things so I don't understand hard work. I have a shitty work ethic and want it to change... Are there any techniques that could help with this? I always get worried when something gets hard in something new that km trying to do, that it's a waste of a time because it may be something that i dont want to do in the end.
