Mindset
Mindset is a term that has started to get used quite often in the wellness, fitness and business industries. Perhaps you've have heard this popular term before "mindset is everything"...
Don't worry if you don't quite don't understand what it means in the article I'm going to give you a clear definition of what it means, what types of mindsets there are, and how to change your mindset too.
Mindset definition:
Mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you see yourself, your situation and the world. Your mindset is your perspective.
Types of Mindset: Fixed vs Growth
When it comes to types of mindsets there are two. Fixed and Growth. These types of mindsets are usually imprinted on us from the time we are young. They way our parents talked/taught us, our schooling, influences from friends or family members, etc.
These types of mindsets affects all areas of our lives, from business, health, school/learning, relationships, parenting and more.
Before I dive into the difference between these two mindsets I want you to understand that you are not one or the other, your mindset is dynamic. In one area you might find out you are fixed, while in other areas you might show more of a growth mindset.
The difference between fixed and growth mindset...
A fixed mindset person believes they can't change their mindset, their abilities, their intelligence. For instance I have a wonderful relative who believes they were born with a short temper and there is nothing they can do about it. But that's not true, in a moment I'll share with you how you can change mindset no matter how long you've been that way...
A fixed mindset person focuses on areas they can't control. When things go wrong they usually blame others. They stay away from challenges because they don't want to appear dumb or lose. A fixed mind person is very closed off, mentally...
A growth mindset person believes they can develop their abilities and talents with hard work. They focus on things they can control. They enjoy challenges because it offers them an opportunity to grow and learn, no matter the outcome. A growth mindset person is more open to the world, to new experiences, to growth...
How To Change Your Mindset
When it comes to changing your mindset the first thing you need to do is bring awareness and determine what kind of mindset you're predominantly working from.
An easy way to figure out what's your predominant mindset is to take this free quiz here.
After you take the quiz to find out your mindset type now you can bring action to that awareness.
So next time you're in a challenging situation ask yourself " did you respond with a growth mindset?". If not...
Take a moment to center your self and think about how would you react from a growth mindset perspective towards that situation.
Then start looking at different areas in your life; social relationships, intimate relationships, work, school/learning. Notice with what kind of mindset do you operate in those areas.
You might notice that in some you are fixed and other you have a growth mindset...
Changing your mindset takes time and consistency. But remember with a growth mindset you CAN learn to fulfill your potential in all areas of your life.
If you want to speed up the process that's where a mindset coach comes in...
What Can A Mindset Coach Do For You
I came to really appreciate the power and importance of mindset coaching when I became a hypnotherapist/NLP practitioner in 2008. Hypnotherapy/NLP focuses on mostly working with your subconscious mind.
Our subconscious mind operates 95-98% of our daily actions. While our conscious mind only takes on 2-5% control of our daily actions. That's crazy huh?
Our beliefs and imprints are held and created within our subconscious mind. So to create permanent change and to create change quickly its best to work directly with the subconscious mind.
So in the last 14 years after working with clients ranging from weight loss, to combat athletes to high level entrepreneurs I created an integrative method to get results fast...
