There is one thing that defines your quality of life but also how fulfilled you are in life. This one thing is, for every individual, either an asset or a liability. Whether we are aware of it or not, it defines who and what you become. I am talking about mindset.
What is mindset and how does one look at it and identify how to make it stronger, better, healthier?
Something we don’t realise is that mindset is responsible for a lot of our challenges in life. But it can also be our place of strength, motivation, and happiness.
If you are for example:
- Feeling stuck in life
- Lacking motivation
- Feeling you’re not enough
- Fighting with imposter syndrome
- Anxious and afraid
- Lacking confidence
All of these issues and so many more are as a result of our mindset. Mindset is everything. But what exactly is it?
Mindset is made up of what you believe to be true about you, the people in your life, and the world. It is based on our beliefs and values. Our perception and understanding of all we go through and all that we are. So yes, mindset is pretty important.
After a nervous breakdown I discovered that everything hinges on our mindset. How we see the world and how the world sees us. How we get stuck in life not knowing that our mindset needs rebooting.
For a lot of people their mindset is not serving them well at all, maybe it’s even broken or irrational in how they see things. For example, self-sabotaging is such an issue of mindset. So too is how we act in our interpersonal relationships.
There are two types of mindsets, a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Whether you are male or female doesn’t matter to mindset. But whether you have a fixed or growth mindset does matter to everything.
A Growth Mindset: A thinking that says challenges are not bad, learning is good, and a self-belief that they will be successful. They like feedback, they love to grow and learn. They are not limited in their thinking.
A Fixed Mindset: A thinking that believes their skills and talents are a fixed trait and they settle for what comes their way as they feel success is achieved by being safe and secure, and not taking chances. You’re either successful or not but don’t take risks.
At Thrive’s webinar, I’ll be sharing my story of a broken mindset but also what real motivation looks like, and the five pillars you can use to build yourself a personal and professional life that makes you smile. Pillars that have helped me and others get through dark times, but also reach their true potential.
If you want a different result, you must change the process, and I’ll be teaching all about how to achieve this and reach your full potential in life.
As a life coach I work with individuals and groups on a weekly basis helping them adjust or even reset their mindset. This is key to unlocking your full potential to be happy and successful in life.
