How Do We Change Mindset?

One of the barriers to our success is our mindset. What do we believe to be true, and our customers believe to be true? Where does the truth lie?

When we talk about getting in our way of success, we are talking about saboteurs and how we sabotage our efforts.  It comes in the form of what we believe to be true and what is the reality.  Truth is a viewpoint on a belief.

When we are trying to grow we have to look internally and externally at where our beliefs come from and challenge if they are accurate.  What makes them true?  And true to whom?  Believe it or not, not everyone thinks like we do.  Actually, very few think like we do.  So how DO they think?  Those people are our customers.  

When we want to influence people to agree with us, many have found it easier to understand how others think before we try to convince them to think like us.

I was asked the other day, what are some ways to change mindset?

Changing your mindset is a gradual process that involves intentional effort and self-reflection. Here are some strategies to help you change your mindset:

  1. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Identify and challenge any negative or limiting beliefs you may have about yourself or your abilities. Question the validity of these beliefs and replace them with more positive and empowering thoughts.
  2. Face Your Fears: Confronting your fears is a powerful way to change your mindset. By stepping outside of your comfort zone and facing challenges, you can build resilience and develop a more positive outlook.
  3. Shift Your Perspective: Look at situations from different angles. Try to see the bigger picture and consider alternative viewpoints. This can help you develop a more open and adaptable mindset.
  4. Change Your Self-Talk: Pay attention to your inner dialogue. Replace self-critical thoughts with positive affirmations and constructive self-talk. Over time, this can contribute to a more optimistic and growth-oriented mindset.
  5. Get Support: Surround yourself with positive influences. Seek support from friends, family, or mentors who can provide encouragement and guidance as you work on changing your mindset.

Remember, changing your mindset is a continuous process that requires commitment and patience. It's essential to be kind to yourself throughout this journey and celebrate small victories along the way.
