3 Perspectives Which Will Assist You

    For some time now, I've been researching different mindsets as a means of increasing effectiveness, so I thought it could be beneficial to share some of the most recent ideas from the book I'm writing. A mentality is a state of mind. It influences how you feel, act, and react to situations. It also shapes your thoughts and actions. Whether you consider the glass to be "half full" or "half empty" is a common illustration. Your attitude has the power to swiftly alter your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Ironically, when you're locked in a mindset, you may not even be aware of it until you leave it or change your mindset.

3 Crucial Mindsets

These 3 crucial mindsets will help you reach your full potential:

    1. Mindset of Abundance

    2. Growth Mindset 

    3. Positive Mindset 

Adopt an Attitude of Abundance Beyond the Scarcity Mindset

    We are taught to think in terms of abundance and to avoid having a scarcity mentality by Covey and others. In other words, begin with the notion that there is more room and more resources available than what you might initially perceive. You figure out how to generate more chances. You can broaden solutions to include both your own and other people's thoughts. You create a bigger space rather than engage in turf fights. You find more resources rather than competing for fewer. The issue with operating from a scarcity mentality is that you become defensive or offensive and end up competing needlessly. You can use your energy to compete, but you can also use it to find abundance, extend opportunities, and create more alternatives.

Take a Positive Attitude Over a Pessimistic Attitude

    This does not preclude identifying errors or applying critical analysis to concepts. It does imply that you should find a solution and spend more time looking for it than problems. Instead of being trapped or allowing your own pessimism to drag you down, find a method to move on.

Change Your Attitude from Fixed to Growth

     Switch from a fixed to a growth mindset. If you have a fixed attitude, you will disregard learning and ascribe success to intrinsic ability. You believe that talent is something that people either possess naturally or don't. A learning mindset is a growth mindset. It's the conviction that with the correct training, you can become better at anything you do. And yes, even an old dog can learn new tricks. Here are some strategies to go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset:

How To Modify Your Mentality

There are a few ways to alter your perspective:

     Consider an alternative set of inquiries. Asking oneself "why me" or "what's the point in trying?" is significantly different from asking yourself "how can I make the most of the situation" or "how can I thrive instead of survive?"

    Consider an alternative set of premises. For instance, suppose there is more than enough and you only need to discover it rather than assuming there is not enough. Remember to test your assumptions, but using an alternative set of assumptions can lead you to new insights you might not have considered otherwise.
