Mindset Monday
If you have been following these posts for a while now and have been doing the suggested exercises, you should by now be a lot more aware of the mindsets that you hold and how they affect your behaviour and your thoughts.
Today I have another exercise that can help tap into your subconscious and bring to light some more hidden mindsets and thought patterns. Some find this exercise harder than others but I urge you to try it out every day for a week as it does get easier. The process is called free writing and the steps are as follows:
Get a pad of paper and a pen/pencil or if you are more comfortable typing then use the computer.
Write solidly for 10-20 minutes.
Write whatever comes to mind without censorship and without reading what you have written. Do not stop writing even if all you can think of to write is “I can’t think what to write”
Do not worry about punctuation
Read over what you have written paying particular attention if you are surprised by something you have written. Over the week to come look for patterns and connected thoughts and see how they influence your life. Make notes that you can refer to in the future when you are ready to start changing the mindset.
