Mindset (MOC)

Notes

Motivation Restoring

How can we feel energized, motivated and approach life with a positive attitude?

  1. Small Wins - take a second to enjoy how far you've come, and celebrate even the smallest of wins
  2. Self affirmation - remind yourself that you have worth, and be kind to yourself
  3. job crafting - create meaning in what you do, see it through a perspective of helping others
  4. Growth Mindset - your skills can grow with time
  5. Optimism - it is up to us to decide how to view reality, and whether we would be able to thrive in it

Counter Negative Cycle

How can we rise up after we fall?

  1. we need to take a new perspective on Rejection
  2. Zoom out - things might feel bad now, but if we zoom out we might see things in a clearer, healthier perspective
  3. The law of reverse effect - sometimes, the more we try, the more we push things away, perhaps it is better to let things go
  4. forward thinking - To think about the future in advance, and preparing for it today

Productivity Mindset

How can we remain focused and dedicated in what we do?

  1. Fleetingness - what we experience now is unique, so we should pay attention to it
  2. Love what is good - we need to adjust our preferences such that we will love, enjoy doing the things that are good for us and others
  3. Optimization - To constantly try to improve something, to make it efficient

Healthy Thinking

How can make sure our thinking is clear and positive? 4. Filtering - To take in only the information we need to receive, blocking noise 5. scientific method - To hold ideas softly, as theories to test and not identities that define us 6. positive language - To use empowering, enabling language that allows for growth instead of limiting, negative language

No Thinking

Perhaps a healthy mindset is no mindset at all?

  1. Wu wei - A state of being, of not resisting, of connecting instead of forcing your thinking onto the world

Unhealthy Thinking

  1. manifesting - When we try to bend reality to our perspective, as if it obeys us, instead of seeing it as it is
  2. Pessimism - To view life through a black colored lens, to mistrust and have no faith or hope in others or that things will be better
