The Power of Mindset

Our brains are ridiculously, scarily and amazingly powerful. We create our realities with our thoughts. Ever since I've learned that I can change my life by training my brain, I've become more confident and hopeful about the future.

Also really cool: growth mindset. I (and that means you too) can learn anything. Sure, some subjects/skills are easier than others and you might have to look around for a while before you find the right teacher. But by taking it one step at a time, I (and that means you too) will get wherever I want to go.

My favourite mantra: I am me and there's no one I'd rather be! For more info on the subject, see the list of resources.

not and another star is the dot at the bottom of the questionmark.

I practiced:

brainwashing myself
being aware of my emotions
shifting emotions
mindfulness
positive rants (see Dana Wilde's "Positive mindset for entrepreneurs" podcast for examples)

I learned:

my thoughts and emotions create my reality. I'm in charge of both, so I create my own reality.
that a growth mindset liberates me from limitations
how to pick or write an affirmation that actually works
emotions are caused by thoughts. To change my emotions I pick better thoughts.
the results I get are created by my expectations. If I want better results I have to increase my expectations.
the physical symptoms for fear and excitement are the same. I can turn fear into excitement by reframing my reaction.
