While reading Angela Duckworth’s book, GRIT, she refers to the work of her colleague Carol Dweck and her book, MINDSET, where the concept of a fixed vs a growth mindset is discussed. I tought to myself, well what about people that have a fixed mindset…can then change it to a growth mindset or are the permanently stuck. Well, I’ll argue that hard work to change starts with 1. Identifying your limiting beliefs, 2. replacing them with positive thoughts, 3. practicing gratefulness for the chance to change, 4. setting small achievable goals, 5, being positive in pursuit of those goals, 6. surrounding yourself with supportive people and 7. seeking the guidance of a professional and you will have a great change of getting unstuck.  GRAB THE FREE EPISODE NOTES HERE: ➡ Free Thinking Tools - http://freethinkingtools.com [http://freethinkingtools.com/] SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST! ➡ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2JTwoBE [https://apple.co/2JTwoBE]

I heard Patrick Bet David talking about “out-improving the competition and it made me think about how to help you do that. First of all, you don’t have to look at out-improving as a competition against someone else, but more importantly, as a competition against whatever is keeping you from achieving your personal goals. If “out-improving” matters to you, then I would suggest that there are several core topics you should study on whatever medium you prefer as long as they are fully articulated books. Although I had a tough time putting these in an exact order, what worked for me was and is studying: Goals And Why Humans Need Them, Mindset Psychology, Money & How Its Works, and Discipline. Lastly, it’s inevitable that you’ll fall off your journey so the secret is to study perseverance so you can get back in the saddle.  GRAB THE FREE EPISODE NOTES HERE: ➡ Free Thinking Tools - http://freethinkingtools.com [http://freethinkingtools.com/] SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST! ➡ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2JTwoBE [https://apple.co/2JTwoBE]

I recently started listening to Carl Jung’s book, Man & His Symbols and I’m struck by his discussion about his experience analyzing the dreams of his patients. It’s very easy to live your life only in a conscious way and never considering or worse even dismissing your unconscious mind. However, it’s an extremely compelling idea that you have in your mind the accumulated collective experiences of life that far surpass the limited personal experiences you have. It seems to me that we all should consider our dreams more closely as that great bank of knowledge is trying to teach us something.  GRAB THE FREE EPISODE NOTES HERE: ➡ Free Thinking Tools - http://freethinkingtools.com [http://freethinkingtools.com/] SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST! ➡ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/2JTwoBE [https://apple.co/2JTwoBE]
