Your Mindset is a main contributor to the state of your RESILIENCE

You have multiple conversations inside your head at any given time

Some positive & more negative

As Brené Brown, Storyteller & Professor puts it,

“we become addicted to our stories, endlessly looping them in our heads … it’s difficult to see things clearly in this state of rumination.”

We almost need a Security Guard at ‘Reception’ to protect us from our thinking!

Imagine if you were more open to focused positive thoughts.

With the intention to feel better about yourself & other.

Dr Carol S. Dweck, Psychologist & Author recommends:

To move from a Fixed mindset - fixed in your belief about matters & don’t see a need to change, rather rest on your current knowledge, beliefs& talent relating to that matter.

To move to a Growth mindset – which will embrace changes, failures, feedback & seeks out opportunities & challenges to learn.

 A RESILIENT Growth Mindset:

·       Embrace challenges

·       Look for opportunities to learn something new everyday

·       Boost your opportunity to accomplish a change

 

A Fixed Mindset:

·       Avoids challenges

·       See efforts as fruitless or worse

·       Ignores useful feedback

If Resilience is a set of skills, let’s begin with:

·       choosing how you want to think

·       how you want to feel for the day

·       pledging to ‘care less’ to reduce your mental load

·       tuning into & monitoring your feelings & intuition,

·       being clear what your non-negotiables

·       Ditching the guilt & do more for yourself
