Reflect, Reset, Rise: A Simple Guide to Mindset
Hey loves! Hope you’re having a great day.
Our mindset is the internal lens through which
we view every challenge and opportunity. To live with intention—and avoid
accidental mental chaos—we must understand and regularly reflect on these
mental frameworks.
The Big Two
- Growth
vs. Fixed: Growth sees abilities as muscles to be built; Fixed assumes
you’re just born with what you’ve got. One sees a challenge as a
"level up," the other as a personal attack.
- Abundance
vs. Scarcity: Abundance knows there is enough success for everyone;
Scarcity treats life like a game of musical chairs where someone else's
win is your loss.
The Daily
"Pulse Check"
Daily reflection is like checking your teeth
for spinach before a big meeting. It acts as a "micro-adjustment"
that keeps you off autopilot. Try asking yourself these 3 quick questions each
night:
- The
Learning Curve: What did I learn today?
- The
Reaction Check: When did I feel "stuck" in my thinking?
- The
Small Win: What is one thing I’m proud of?
The Yearly
"Season Finale"
While daily checks keep you in your lane, a
year-end review is your strategic "Director's Cut." It allows you to:
- Identify
Plot Holes: Spot recurring habits that keep tripping you up.
- Roll
the Highlight Reel: Celebrate how far you’ve actually come.
- Script
the Sequel: Set a mental "theme" for the new year rather than
just a boring list of tasks.
"Reflection is the bridge that turns life
experience into wisdom."
By prioritizing reflection, we empower
ourselves to evolve. No matter your goals, your mindset is the most powerful
tool you own—remember to give it a "software update" every now and
then!
