MINDSETS MATTER!
Hi, and thank you for joining me on this week's blog post and today the subject is "Mindsets"
For some time now I have wanted to write a new post on this subject for some time so when the opportunity presented itself I thought it best to "grab it and run"
So to begin let us take a fresh look at the thinking around the mindset!
Why do our mindsets matter?
Our mindsets shape the way we see the world around us they can both constrict
and expand the way we engage in the process of living our lives!
Mindsets grow from experience.
Irrespective of whether we encounter a negative or a positive experience our minds
will grow. We unconsciously create filters that will limit what we use absorb from our
experiences.
We are driven to protect our self and to feel secure in the unpredictable world
around us. But, therein lies a paradox, because if we avoid making the same
mistakes or being hurt, we can also miss opportunities.
Plus, we can miss greater things because we fix our minds on replicating earlier
successes.
But we are usually not aware that this is happening because our mindsets are
sitting in the background. So to enable us to be more fully engaged, we need to
bring our mindset into the foreground.
We need to become aware of our mindset and shift them to ones that serve us.
Over time, people have shown that they have tremendous capacity to change,
invent, and explore fun, but the question that still sits there unanswered is:-
“can we really change?“
It is amazing what people can achieve, both individually and collectively if they
commit! It is a fact that mindsets are at the core of success or failure.
In simple terms, do people seek the way through a problem (because they know
there is one) or do they give up because they don’t really believe that something
is possible?
In truth, we see what we expect to see!
We often impose our limitations on ourselves.
If we look at the group scenario, the limitations are group, mindsets, becoming
behaviour patterns, and what is “accepted“ here.
There has been a shift . At one time our community shaped the behaviours and
values – but more recently the community has become the organisation we work
for and the people that we work with.
We need a Work community to be uplifting and healthy.
We need these communities to be healthy and to add richness to our lives.
We only really get one go at this, so we need to make it life balanced and
worthwhile.
But
We don’t live a work-life balance – work is always a part of life – don’t you owe it
to yourself to give your work “a life“?
It is important That there has to be a shift from “hands on, tool focused leaders“
to a situation of leading through people!
Mindset can change!
If we look at past two decades, there have been some very large mindset shifts
including for example the changes involving:-
Drinking and driving.
Smoking
Seatbelts
So, in closing, I will leave you with one final take-away on the subject and that is:-
“it is not always easy to do, but it is possible!”
Thank you for reading this, I hope that you carry out the exercises from the previous posts in the series and do please, feel free to use them with your clients as you move forwards on your coaching journey.
I will be back again next week with part 4.
So until then have a great week.
