Mindset Transformation
Gratitude Attitude!
Practice cultivating a gratitude attitude.
Focus on the things you’re happy with and what you already like about your life.
This is very important because it will ultimately be what helps you to appreciate the things you already have.
Without this, you can work as hard as you like and accomplish everything you set out to but still not really be happy.
The most important mindset shift of all!
Understand Your Brain Better
When neurons repeatedly fire at the same time, a connection between them forms.
Your experiences are coded by these neurons and when one fires, you experience it.
Neurons release neurotransmitters when they fire which act like hormones to affect our mood and our mental state.
Your brain is made up of a web of interconnected neurons called your ‘connectome’.
Look after your mental and physical health.
Eat cognitive metabolic enhancers.
Fuel your neurotransmitters with amino acids and vitamins/minerals.
Get plenty of sleep!
Exercise to fuel your brain with energy!
Set Your Goals!
Don’t set goals, set visions.
Work out a plan – break that vision down into concrete steps you can take to get there.
Look at the beliefs and fears that are limiting you and preventing you from getting what you want.
Cognitive Restructuring
Addressing your thoughts and reflecting on your beliefs.
Using ‘thought challenging’ to assess whether you really believe those thoughts.
Look at how likely your fears are to become reality
Think about if it really matters.
Come up with contingency plans.
You can also use ‘hypothesis testing’.
Simply test yourself by putting yourself in the situation you are afraid of.
‘Reassociation’.
The Law of Attraction
Invest in yourself!
Dress the part, look the part and exercise.
This will help you to feel more confident and that in turn will come across in the way you walk and talk.
This leads to the ‘law of attraction’ whereby people start seeing you differently and treating you differently, thereby helping you to accomplish the very things you’ve been acting like you already accomplished.
