lessons. Set an alarm and stick to your working hours.”

A. CONNECT (Duration: 5 mins)

On a scale of 1 to 100, where 100 is the highest, how would you rate yourself right now?
Just in general. Shade your answer below:

10 50 100

What made you feel that way?

I rate myself 60 because I am still at the process or in my journey to achieve my dream,
where I still have to face many challenges and struggles along the journey, but I believe in myself
that I can surpass all of this one step at a time. This journey is hard and there might be a time
where I want to give up, but I believe that God will not allow a trial to come into our life unless,
He has pupose for everything.

B. COACH (Duration: 20 mins)

— DO —
Let’s start with a bit of daydreaming. No matter what our circumstances are at this very moment, we know that
things could be very different if just a few things were a bit different in our lives. So, answer these questions as
best as you can:

Think of something you’ve done in the past week that really challenged you to think hard.
What was it? / What were they?

- I think in the past week the thing that challenged me to think hard is when I was taking our P1 exam
for Nur 192 and Nur 194.
- And when I was studying for the exam.

What’s something you’ve been working on frequently lately?

It doesn’t have to be a big thing. It can be as simple as trying to wake up earlier every day, eating less carbs,
drinking more water, exercising every day.

- Wake up early for online class.

- Answering modules/ activities.

What’s something you wish you could do better in?

This means this is something that you’re already doing, but not quite an expert in.

- Studying
- Taking notes from topics

In the past week, what mistake did you do— big or small —that still irritates you

up to now?

- The mistake that still irritates me until now is not studying the module for Nur 192 and only studied the
quizes we had.

If you know you wouldn’t fail, what would you do?

(For example: Become a chef! / Write a novel! / Become the next Philippine Idol!

Remember: The idea here is that what you intend to do, you are guaranteed to be a success.)

- Become Registered Nurse abroad

- Become a Physician

— THINK —
(Duration: 20 min)

The questions above demonstrate how we usually use a certain kind of thinking that limits the things we can
achieve. This is called a Fixed Mindset. A Fixed Mindset makes us focus on the things we can’t do, on our
limitations, on our challenges—without helping us think of a way to get out of that situation.

The opposite of that kind of thinking is called the GROWTH MINDSET. This is what we’re going to work on
today. So, what exactly is a Growth Mindset? What happens when we have one?

Is this easier said than done? In a way, yes. It takes practice, dedication, determination—but the actual steps
are “easy” enough as long as you make sure you keep doing them. Actually, the Growth Mindset is also based
on Science. Here’s how it works.

Imagine two brain cells:

Think of these two brain cells as living in the same village (your brain). Now, the first time they see each other,
they may smile at each other, but that’s it. Since they’re strangers, they won’t really do anything more. But that
smile will give them a positive feeling, a spark maybe.

Every time we do a new action, think in a new way, certain

cells inside our brain “communicate” with each other via
an electromagnetic pulse. This is when they first smile
with each, so to speak.

Now, let’s say the two brain cells see each other again.
They might feel more comfortable since they already saw
each other before. This time, they might realize that
they’re actually neighbors, and so they might say hello
now, ask how the other is doing.

Every time we repeat that new action or that new

way of thinking, our brain cells will recognize that
this was something you already did before. And
so they will connect more easily, communicate a
bit more. Every time they connect the signals they
send each other get coated with a substance
called MYELIN. This protects the connections
made between brain cells. Each time they
communicate, the myelin coating thickens,
strengthening the bond, therefore making
communication between those two cells even easier, quicker.

The brain then starts recognizing the communication between these two brain cells are high priority, so every
time they try to talk, the brain makes sure to use all available energy to strengthen that bond between the cells.

So if they keep meeting this way, what then will happen to

the two brain cells who live in the same village? Who knows?
If they keep meeting, keep improving their connection every
time they meet, maybe their bond will become even more
permanent!

Can you imagine if a bond between cells becomes more permanent? That action or thought becomes a more
permanent part of you—and so this change will become something that lasts.

Think of a child who first learns how to crawl. The child then learns how to take a few steps while holding on to
a chair or a wall. And then the child will learn how to walk, run, dance, hop, swim...and so on. This is the
natural progression of growth. And this is what happens to us when we have the Growth Mindset.

Let’s go back to the questions you answered in the beginning of this module. See if you can look at your
answers to them a bit differently.

expert walkers. (Besides, we still trip when we DO become expert walkers.)

And so now, let’s go back to the different reasons you’re feeling especially challenged right now. Some of us
might be in circumstances we don’t have any control over, but we can control what we do in those
circumstances, to a certain extent.

*If, for any reason, you are unable to find the control and peace of mind you need no matter how hard you try,
don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with you. You just might need help from an expert. If you’re feeling at a loss,
depressed, confused to a degree that already consumes you, please reach out to your teacher as soon as
possible. Help is available. Help is always available.

C. CHECK (Duration: 15 mins)

- REFLECT-
Read the statements below. Identify which of the statements in the left column you identify with the most.
Which of those statements do you often say to yourself? Then, look at the column that shows you what you
can say instead.

Video record (maximum of 60 seconds only) or write an inspirational message to yourself, tell how you plan to
work on having a Growth Mindset, starting with what you CAN SAY to yourself INSTEAD of what you used to
say to yourself. Once done, upload your output in SSP 005 Google Classroom.
