Are you always looking for ways to become a better version of yourself?
Do you see failure as a learning process and setbacks as opportunities to discover more creative approaches to achieving your goals?
In describing yourself, do the words “resilient,” “persistent,” and/or “determined” come up often?

For today’s post, we’ve gathered a list of examples of growth mindset worksheets and templates designed to help you develop this type of mindset through different processes, such as:
Before we get to the worksheets, let’s briefly talk about the difference between people who have a growth mindset and a fixed mindset and what you gain from having the former.
The Difference Between People with a Growth Mindset and a Fixed Mindset
The type of mindset you have matters because it has a pivotal role in how you achieve success and deal with failure.
Someone who has a fixed mindset is less likely to try doing something again once they’ve encountered setbacks. They’ll chalk it up to their perceived limitations (“I wasn’t born to be a singer/artist/ace student/etc.”). For them, a person’s talents and skills are set from birth.
Meanwhile, one of the traits of people who have a growth mindset is seeing failure as a stepping stone to becoming better. They pursue excellence instead of perfection.
The Benefits of Having a Growth Mindset
The following are some of the benefits of having a growth mindset. (For an in-depth discussion of the main benefits of developing a growth mindset, you can check out this article.)
Let’s check out today’s worksheets.
