Change Your Mind Change Your Life – Here’s How To Change It
Want to know how to change your mind change your life? Here’s exactly how to do it – different thoughts = different results.
Let’s chat about this statement: change your mind to change your life.
First let’s start by dismissing a massive myth: a lot of people are under the impression that they aren’t allowed to change their mind.
What they don’t realize is that by changing your mind, you have the power to change your life.
When it comes to changing your mind, what is it that scares so many people?
Do you view changing your mind as something negative?
In other words, do you have the perception of someone changing his or her mind as being indecisive or weak?
If that’s the case I want you to know this notion is so not true.
CHANGE YOUR MIND CHANGE YOUR LIFE
The are actually several reasons why changing your mind can, in fact, be a positive event.
From childhood, many of us are told stories and taught things that are simply not accurate.
Yep, our teachers and parents got some stuff wrong.
Yet because we were still young, we absorbed those stories about the world around us and ourselves. We assumed it was the truth.
Then one day we wake up and discover things we used to believe no longer are true.
At this point you have a choice to make at this point – you can keep believing the lies. You can keep that mindset of living small because maybe every time you didn’t succeed you were praised and accepted instead of encouraged and motivated to do better.
Maybe once upon a time doing better and making changes was somehow viewed and interpreted as being wrong and unacceptable.
Well I am hear to tell you that the real goal in life is to GROW and change.
In order to achieve this we need to instil and encourage in our children and OURSELVES a growth mindset.
Ditch The Labels
Sometimes we are given labels and, all too often, we have no clue that we do not have to accept or even identify with those labels.
We may be taught that Sam is the math genius in the family while Sarah is the artistic one – a limiting mindset that is more or less fixed.

LABELS HOWEVER ARE MADE FOR JARS NOT PEOPLE!
– Did you know that you could change those labels by working harder to be whatever it is you wish to be in life? Do you realize you have the potential to change?
– People change all the time! You have that option too my friend.
– Start by recognizing that you are capable and have the ability to change your mindset. This is the first step in changing your mind.
– Recognize that you can change your label at any time. All you have to do is choose to strip it off.
– Next, it’s time to get to work. No change comes without work involved.

Practices to Take on
If you are a parent, there are certain steps you can take in order to facilitate a growth mindset.
– Start by giving your child a way and a means to reach higher goals rather than labeling them as “not good in math,” or “better in art.”
– Don’t set the bar too high, as unrealistic expectations and goals are not beneficial.
– Don’t set the bar too low so that no challenge or growth is initiated.
– Offer constructive criticism in order to have your child reach and grow, which sends the message that they are most certainly capable of doing great things as long as they choose to.
– A growth mindset is for everyone!
CHANGE YOUR MIND CHANGE YOUR LIFE
If you are a teacher or coach:
– It is better to facilitate growth by motivating rather than labelling or viewing your student or athlete as someone who is, “not as good as” someone else or “not as talented in a certain area or skill.”
– Consider each member of the team as an individual. Seek to discover their weaknesses. In this manner, you can then concentrate on how to challenge them.
– Challenge them to reach greater heights by motivating rather than considering them to be “as is” in any arena.
– Give them the belief that they can and will work hard to achieve greater results; that they can be stretched to grow.
When it comes to changing your mind, you have a choice.
You need to understand this – anyone can change their life. It’s all up to you to make it happen!
Face the areas of your life that are your weakest. Start there first because avoidance doesn’t work.
Work hard in that area to excel, never stop learning and don’t ever be afraid to change your mind.
You have a right to do so if you know it feels right to you! Nothing needs to be set in stone forever!
You really can do it…
