Today's #WinningWednesday topic is our minds. And more specifically what we allow our minds to think. What we think has a lot of power in our lives. To be winners we must have a mindset that is positive. Listening to our own negative self-talk or allowing others to speak it to us is one of the fastest ways to lose. Thinking too small is also a way we defeat ourselves. (I'm REALLY guilty of this, I defeat myself all the time with small thinking.) Replaying old stories and old mistakes is another way we can end up on the losing side of things. It takes work and intentionality to keep our minds positive. Here are 3 ways to create a winning and healthy mindset.
Another important part of winning and our minds is our willingness to grow or not. Willing to grow is called growth mindset and an unwillingness is called fixed. When you consider those terms - fixed and growth - which sounds healthiest to you? (Yes, that was a rhetorical question - the answer is clearly growth. Fixed generally means we are stuck.) Wondering what kind of mindset you operate out of? Well, here is an article that discusses 7 ways to develop a personal growth mindset and if you read it with an honest look at yourself and see that you are behaving in ways opposite of the 7 tips given then you can assume you might be operating out of a fixed mindset. The good news is fixed can change to growth! We ALL have the capacity to change and, well, grow!
