We hear the word mindset literally everywhere these days.
I even talk about it a lot lot.
I was talking to a friend who doesn’t really think about mindset, let alone prioritize it, and she asked me, what even is it really?
It make me realize that I teach a lot about mindset elements, but I’m not sure I’ve ever really broken down what it actually is.
Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.
Mind: the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel
Set: be situated or fixed in a specific direction
So then the combination of those two words and definition fits perfectly into what we just said, that your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself, influencing how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.
A couple more points I found when researching these episode are worth noting.
Dr. Jacob Towery, adjunct clinical instructor in the department of psychiatry at Standford university, says that shifting your mindset can improve your health, decrease stress and help you overcome life’s challenges.
“Jesus said to him, 'If you can believe, all things are possible to them that believe'” (Mark 9:23). It is time to change your mindset, and renew your thoughts and ways of thinking.
Now, your mindset is a constantly growing and evolving thing.
This is why it’s so important to always be open to learning and growing, much like we do here.
Just the fact that you’re tuned into this episode speaks volumes about you and that you prioritize your mindset and growth.
I always want to be a place of positivity and safety for you.
Where you know you can come and be encouraged and given a positive mindset.
Where you walk away better than you were before.
There are 4 main mindset components that I’m going to address over some of the next episodes.
I typically focus on the format of how we release podcasts to be one that is more practical around your business and marketing and booking clients, and another around mindset so you can keep feeling encouraged and moving forward.
Then repeat the process over and over.
So this series is going actually be every other episode for the next few weeks.
The 4 mindset components we’re going to look at, are buzzwords you hear often.
Gratitude
Growth
Abundance
Opportunity
One of the most important things about mindset is openness.
Having an open mind provides us with all kinds of possibilities.
Think about the oppositve of that, having a closed mind can create a negative mindset and make us feel hopeless and not be able to find the possibility in anything.
We want to be able to see the possibilities in literally every situation.
Kind of a “when one door closes another one opens” mentality.
Your hot tip for this episode is really just to keep your good mindset front and center.
Be on the watch in your daily life at places where one door closes.
Try not to be frustrated at that door closing, but be looking for the opportunity it provided by closing, or the opening that is coming next.
