According to scientists at Stanford University, mindset is the internal dialog you have in your mind. A growth mindset allows you to deal effectively with change.  As you look at the skills needed for a growth mindset, you can see how they help you deal with changes in your life.
Make Personal Development Your Priority
Change is an opportunity. You can use changes in your life to learn, grow, and achieve your goals.  The opposite is allowing changes in your life to burden or hurt you and keep you from reaching your full potential.  Your mindset determines how you deal with it.
A growth mindset makes personal development your priority.  When you are faced with changes, your mindset sees them as opportunities.  Instead of letting changes frighten or stop you, you look for ways to overcome difficulty and make changes a positive force in your life. 
Meditation
Humans are creatures of routine. It’s easy to become comfortable in habits and routines.  Change breaks those routines and can make you feel distracted and unsure of yourself.  You need to focus your mindset to deal effectively with change.
Meditation helps limit distractions and keeps you focused on working through change and achieving your goals.  Meditation also keeps your mindset in the present instead of regretting the past or worrying about the future.  When you practice meditation, you create a growth mindset that accepts the current reality of change and helps you focus on dealing with it.
