3 Mindset shifts you need to make today
How do you respond to setbacks and adversity?
“Fixed vs. growth mindset” was coined by renowned Stanford Psychologist Carol Dweck.
These terms are backed by science around our ability to reach our fullest potential with intelligence, talent, athleticism, etc.
The significant difference between the two mindsets is that one creates a passion for life-long learning while the other creates a thirst for approval.
A study performed at Stanford University suggested that students with a ‘growth mindset’ improve achievement by 30-50%.
Let’s talk about the difference between the two:
Growth mindset
A growth mindset believes that ability, talent, and intelligence can be developed.
Believes effort is a good thing, and it’s how you get even better.
Perseveres when faced with failure.
Embraces challenges.
Looks for people who challenge them.
Fixed mindset
Believes that basic qualities, like intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits and can not be improved.
Believes that effort is unnecessary and that if you are an intelligent or talented person, you shouldn’t have to work hard.
Gives up easily.
Avoids challenges.
Looks for people to reinforce their self-esteem.
The three mindset shifts to make today:
Living in the gap vs. the gain
The gap = The distance between where you are now vs. where you wish you were.
The gain = The distance between where you started vs. where you are now.
Our minds are wired to live in the gap.
This is a dangerous place to live because we will always want more. The “destination” is a never-ending target, and we will never fully arrive. Think of chasing this destination as chasing the horizon. The gap isn’t real. It’s full of comparison, self-doubt, and a thirst for more. We will usually feel like a failure when living in the gap.
We need to train our minds to live in the gain.
The gain is the only true measurement of our success. The gain measures where we were when we started vs. where we are now. When we live in the gain, we become grateful, proud, and joyous, which helps us achieve a flow state and continue to move forward. We become energetically someone others want to join, follow, and be around.
2. Taking control over your habits
This is a loaded topic, and I could go on for hours but let me give you a few nuggets here.
Our brain works on a reward system. The reward needs to stay the same because, well… It’s why the habit exists.
Let me give you an example:
Every morning when I wake up, I start my coffee, stand there and scroll on my phone while I wait for it to brew, and then drink my coffee.
The cue: Waking up
The habit: Making coffee and scrolling
The reward: The coffee
Now let’s change the routine in the middle.
2. Every morning when I now wake up, I start my coffee, practice 5-7 minutes of Yoga while I wait on my coffee to brew, and then I drink my coffee.
The cue: Waking up
The habit: Making coffee and scrolling
The reward: The coffee
3. Abundance is your birthright
So often, we sabotage our abundance. Did you know that 55% of women discount their offer before being asked?
I want you to remember that if someone doesn’t buy your product, service, opportunity, etc., from you, they almost always eventually purchase something similar from someone else.
Could you do me a quick favor and check outside?
It’s another beautiful day; just notice how nature lives in abundance. The clouds, the flowers, the trees, the stars.. nothing is scarce.
We, as humans, are extensions of nature, and we are meant to live in abundance too.
