Return on Investment Part 5 – Happiness Training
We have 90000 thoughts a day, 60000 are repetitive
Thoughts are not facts but Thoughts become Things
What are your dominant regular thoughts in relation to your work, career and/or business?
Are they helpful or are they a hindrance?
As humans we tend to have a negative bias towards our situation. Moaning and focusing on what is going wrong rather than dedicating our precious time and energy on celebrating all the good in our lives
We can waste time concentrating on our weaknesses and perceived areas for improvement, rather than big up and work on our strengths
Henry Ford nailed it with his quote “If you think you can you can, and if you think you can’t, you probably can’t”!
A healthy mind is as important as a healthy body
Your perspective also has a very powerful influence on your life, happiness and outcomes. We also tend to make up stories if we do not have all the facts!
Before I embedded my #Blisscipline toolkit into my life my stories would all have a negative slant and I could get quite angry making up content about my life i.e the dialogue within future meetings with my boss/customers
Being a Leader/business founder can be a lonely place at times, with a huge responsibility seemingly laying at your feet. You need to use every trick in the book to make sure you are not only healthy in body, but also in mind. How many of you live in your head with a chaotic monkey mind?
Fearful?
Scared?
and surrounded by chaos and lack of clarity?
In my experience being kind to your mind with a proven formula/toolkit/strategy leads not only to more success, calm, clarity and better decision making and outcomes, but a healthy confident body too!
Training your mind, using the benefits of the power of positive psychology
Through my own personal experience and client work, we can waste a lot of valuable time by moaning/worrying and going around in circles. Believing we are busy and productive but are so busy we are really just running around like headless chickens and getting nowhere fast.
We all have encountered those “mood hoovers” who drain so much time and energy. something businesses, these days, just can not afford to entertain
SO let’s decide to cultivate a success mindset!
Let’s focus on what’s going well and what is in our control!
Let’s ensure our glasses are full and our life is rewarding!
and as a result we get that all important clarity
Once your mindset changes then everything on the outside will change!
Do you know how great a changed mindset can influence your life as well as your experiences?
You can not change your life until you have changed your mindset!
In fact there is nothing as powerful as a changed mindset. You can change everything around you. However, if you do not change your mindset the same experiences will keep repeating. Your mindset will continually influence your actions as well as your experiences in life.
Moreover, this is something I have come to learn MINDSET IS EVERYTHING!
That is how my business was formed as it is all literally
Study every great and successful person that has ever lived. The key factor they recognised, as being crucial, to their success was changing their mindset. Understanding the power of your mindset and how it connects to what you get out of life paves a way to literally transform your life!
It is all about mindset from the moment you wake up, to the moment you rest your head at night! Everything is up to you, your emotions, your thoughts, your perceptions, your reactions. Every Moment!
Individuals, leaders and teams, who believe their talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others) have a growth mindset. They tend to achieve more than those with fixed mindsets (those who believe their talents are innate gifts).
Pulse (Linked In, March 2023) concludes – “in the fast-paced world of business …fostering a positive, entrepreneurial mindset can be a powerful tool in achieving success! By focusing on solutions, practising gratitude, surrounding yourself with positivity, practising self-care, and celebrating your successes, you can approach challenges with a clear and optimistic mindset”
Supporting Evidence
“38% of entrepreneurs credit their success to self-discipline, and a growth mindset can help you stick to your guns while reaching for your goals. You learn to accept constructive criticism, embrace failures as opportunities, and challenge yourself to grow everyday”. https://blog.hubspot.com/the-hustle/growth-vs-fixed-mindset
“Positive thinking is a powerful process that can improve your professional life in a variety of ways. Thinking positively at work may help you stay motivated and work better with others. In this article, we discuss the professional advantages of positive thinking, how to start thinking more positively and tips to maintain a positive outlook” https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/positive-thinking-in-your-career
“Leadership is something that is almost completely dependent on positive thinking. After all, we’ve all worked with negativity and that negativity rarely results in greatness. A good leader can use their natural positivity to influence those around them. By this, we don’t mean constant cheery sunshine and smiles, that can become grating quickly, but a general faith in your team. Some encouraging words and rewards when employees hit their targets are exactly the positivity a work environment needs” https://www.healthassured.org/blog/benefits-of-positive-thinking/
