Steps to Change your Mindset

We didn't get chance to give you some real solid ideas for how to change your mindset in last week's episode. To be honest we go so excited about counting backwards from 5, engaging our pre-frontal cortex's and the correct way to high-5 yourself! (Listen here if you missed all the excitement)
The strive for excellence episode Coach Dannii refers to is here and using rationalising failure is part of our Excuses Vs Reasons series which starts here
How to change your mindset;

1.  Start with the end in mind - what is the big goal? what do you want to achieve? What is the thing you have been trying to do without success - it’s the thing you find hardest, you are avoiding. Start there.
2. Context - examine where your mindset is in respect of the overall goal. Maybe others make it look easy and it makes you think you could do it too, if only…. insert reason you “can’t”. This is what you find difficult about this goal and that’s the context you need to be able to change your mindset.
3. Turn your thoughts upside-down - take the fixed mindset thoughts, and rewrite them to empower you. Turn them into power statements/affirmations, make them what you WANT to think and feel in this context.
4. Your day begins the night before - don’t wait until the morning! Use your nighttime routine to think about how you want to think and feel the next day. Use your toothbrushing time to rethink your mindset.
5. Never ever, ever give up ever - take all the time you need, repetition is key! This is about your habits by definition, so you have to take action and be intentional so take your time, keep at it, changing these habits is going to take time.

• Meditate - take that time to breath, it’s like the gym for your mind. It will give you that time to go back to that mindset and figure it out for yourself.
• Make personal development a priority - give yourself the time it takes to do what you need to do. Whatever that looks like for you, journalling, reading, meditation. 
• Retrain your brain - by noticing 3 positive changes each day. This should force you to be present, to pay attention to your day, your thoughts, feelings and most importantly, what YOU did/experienced. Celebrate yourself!
• Accept that change will happen, with or without you.
