Mindset (MOC)
Notes
Motivation Restoring
How can we feel energized, motivated and approach life with a positive attitude?
- Small Wins - take a second to enjoy how far you've come, and celebrate even the smallest of wins
- Self affirmation - remind yourself that you have worth, and be kind to yourself
- job crafting - create meaning in what you do, see it through a perspective of helping others
- Growth Mindset - your skills can grow with time
- 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?
- we need to take a new perspective on Rejection
- Zoom out - things might feel bad now, but if we zoom out we might see things in a clearer, healthier perspective
- The law of reverse effect - sometimes, the more we try, the more we push things away, perhaps it is better to let things go
- 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?
- Fleetingness - what we experience now is unique, so we should pay attention to it
- 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
- 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?
- Wu wei - A state of being, of not resisting, of connecting instead of forcing your thinking onto the world
Unhealthy Thinking
- manifesting - When we try to bend reality to our perspective, as if it obeys us, instead of seeing it as it is
- 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
