your mindset become the best version of yourself and feel fulfilled so here are three powerful mindset shifts that will change your life number one the abundance mindset let's start with a word of advice from brene Brown a renowned author in the self-help space and a research professor at the University of Houston we can't ask people to give us something that we believe we are not worthy of receiving do you believe that you're worthy of receiving the things you want in life whether it's building a successful career or having fulfilling relationships opening yourself up to New Opportunities and believing that you are worthy of them can be life-changing a powerful way to do this is to build an abundance mindset in his popular book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People Stephen Covey described the abundance mindset and the scarcity mindset if you have an abundance mindset you believe there's room for everyone to succeed and you're grateful for what you have on the other hand if you have a scarcity mindset you're focused on what you lack you believe there are limited resources and only room for some people to win to build an abundance mindset practice gratitude daily you can become more content with your life and focus on working towards your goals rather than stressing about what you don't have reflect on what you're grateful for and focus on the amazing things that are happening in your life even just the fact that you woke up today is something to celebrate you might even form better relationships with your friends or co-workers because when you believe that there is enough to go around for everyone there's no room left for being jealous or bitter when you see other people win also try to be cooperative instead of competitive when possible as Oprah said if you look at what you have in life you'll always have more if you look at what you don't have in life you'll never have enough number two the growth mindset let's do a mini quiz to see what type of mindset you currently have which statement do you agree with more a my skills can be developed with time and effort or B my skills are innate and can't be changed or improved if you agree with a you probably have what is called a growth mindset if you agree with B you probably have a fixed mindset these terms were originally coined by psychologist Carl dweck people who have a growth mindset believe that if they work hard enough they can develop their intelligence talents and abilities people with a fixed mindset believe that everyone is born with certain abilities some people are naturally good at things others aren't and there's nothing we can do to change it shifting to a growth mindset can greatly improve your well-being and quality of life this is because people with a growth mindset have an internal locus of control in other words you believe that you have control of your life as opposed to believing that your life is controlled by external factors a study conducted by researchers alacha and Suri showed that having an internal locus of control is positively linked to several well-being factors including self-acceptance purpose in life and personal growth a growth mindset can help you feel encouraged that you can grow and improve with time and effort catch yourself when you're having discouraging thoughts like things will never change for me or I'm inherently bad at this and I'll never be good at it and if no one else has told you today psych2goers we are here to tell you that you can achieve anything you put your mind to We Believe In You number three progress over Perfection would you consider yourself to be a perfectionist maybe you try to make sure that everything is 100 Flawless and don't feel comfortable submitting an assignment or work project or sometimes even sending a text before it's perfect you have a huge fear of making mistakes this slows you down because you spend so much time perfecting things if you can relate this quote by Cheryl Sandberg former CEO of Facebook might help you shift your mindset done is better than perfect the idea behind this mindset isn't that you should stop putting in any effort or submit low quality work rather when you're working towards a goal it's beneficial to shift your mindset from Perfection to progress focus on enjoying and learning from the process you might find that you're a lot happier and more productive when you have this mindset because you're not spending a ton of time stressing to ensure the outcome is perfect besides mistakes aren't failures they're opportunities
