How to incorporate writing in your mindframing practice
Writing helps you at every step in your mindframing process.
Pact. Writing down your commitment will enable you to stick to it. It is even better to write it somewhere public, such as a tweet or a blog article.
Act. Documenting your learning or creative process encourages you to keep working towards your goal - for example, a specific hashtag or a newsletter with a fixed schedule.
React. This step is about producing content. Writing is a quick way to create your version of what you learned.
Impact. The objective is to create something bigger. Writing about the process can help consolidate your knowledge while making it easier to share with the world.
You know that feeling when you face a great opportunity; personal, professional or for your business, and you see how it could change your life, boost your health, wealth and/or happiness? All you need to do is to say 'yes' and go for it.
If you believe you can’t learn new skills or change the way you work, look at the evidence that supports both your negative and positive beliefs.
This may not necessarily lead to a modification of those beliefs, but is an important start. You can use belief monitoring to keep track of your thinking.
Psychiatrist and habit change specialist Dr. Jud Brewer explains the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset, and how the former can help us cope with discomfort.
The first one can be met at individuals who believe that both success and failure are based mainly on innate abilities, which cannot be changed throughout one's lifetime, while the second mindset describes a person who is aware of the changes and improvements that the personal actions can bring.
One useful thing to remember when facing challenges is that having a growth mindset allows you to live a less stressful and more successful life. Therefore, take any given opportunity to you learn and, therefore, grow from your experiences. Three steps worth considering when you find yourself outside your comfort zone:
evaluate your reactions to new situations
try to become curious when realizing that you are out of your comfort zone
take every new challenge as an opportunity to learn.
permeates Carol Dweck's concept of Mindset through every aspect of our lives. One area particularity affected is in the workplace. We spend half of our day at work (some of you likely spend more than half) and both your mindset and the mindset of those around you will have a significant impact on your life, especially the mindset of your boss.
We spend half of our day at work (and even more) and both our mindset and the mindset of those around us will have a significant impact on our life, especially the mindset of our leaders.
