What is mindset?

Mindset is what you believe to be true, about yourself, about your role or even about your environment. It influences how you make decisions, how you act and how things make you feel. Sometimes these can be deep rooted beliefs that you have inherited, or maybe it is something that has manifested itself in your environment.

Your beliefs will influence your success or failure in a given situation. The good news is that you can change your mindset, a limited view will create self limiting beliefs, whereas a variable mindset will believe that things can change or develop. For example, a limited belief is that everyone is born with a certain level of intelligence. Whereas a variable mind set believes that we do not have a fixed intelligence and that it can grow.

Why is mindset important?

Mindset is truly important, it is not something that we can see or assess with output metrics. It is on the other something that is linked to motivations and drives our performances. 

• Self Belief: Through working on your mentality, you can start to believe in your own abilities. Having a growth attitude promotes learning and development.
• Motivation: Understanding your beliefs will help you understand what motivates you. As a result, understanding what motivates you will keep you on track and create a better performance.

Types of beliefs

There are two types of mindset, one is fixed/limited and the other is variable. If you are limited then you belief that you are either good or bad at something for example. With a growth mind set, will believe that you can be good at something if you learn about it or develop towards it.

You can change a limited mindset by honing in on your beliefs. When you catch yourself saying something like ‘money is the root of all evil’, ask yourself where that statement comes from. Ask yourself questions about the statement, is it true? Why is it true? What evidence do you have to support?

Then you need to reframe it with your answers, is money the root of all evil or is it that the people who have the money make bad decisions? Every event that happens in your life can be viewed in different ways, try to look for the positive or opportunity. I appreciate that sometimes, rubbish things happen to people and you cannot control it, but it is about how you react to it.

Mindset tips

There are many tips that people can give you to deal with mentality. The main thing is to understand your own mentality at the moment and work towards what you want to achieve. Start looking at your goals and how you want to achieve them, what will motivate you.
