Mindset Monday
Last week we talked about how it is possible to lay new neural pathways in the brain. Today I will discuss a little more about the practicalities of this.
If you consider how your original mindset was acquired, you may notice certain factors that were present. Firstly, there was repitition – you heard the messages not once but many many times – maybe even on a daily basis. Secondly, there was probably a degree of emotion attached – the message may have made you feel guilty, upset or worried. This duality of repetition and emotion are the best qualities to make a strong neural pathway.
Therefore you need to bring both of these factors into play when forming the new, desired mindset.
The task for this week is to come up with some key phrases that express the new mindset. Come up with about 4-5 and write them down. Read them back every day this week, making changes when a thought does not feel authentic. You may want to change I am rich to I am on the path to riches if the second phrase feels more authentic to you. There is no right and wrong about this – it is all about noticing how you feel about each phrase and adjusting accordingly.
Good Luck!
