Shifting Your Mindset
Todd Ford • August 22, 2022
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." ~Dale Carnegie
Jen & Todd chat about different mindsets, common issues found in the hair world, and how to make a shift in your attitude.
We kick off by defining and understanding where your mindset currently sits. Even if you're toward the 'negative' side, it's OK! You know where you're starting and what direction to head.
Different Mindsets:
Growth vs. Fixed
Abundance vs. Scarcity
Learner vs. Judger, or as Jen put it, "The Judgy McJudgers!"
Some common issues people have:
- Failure to innovate, fear of change
- Fixating on what they don't have
- Knocking others, thinking their method is the only way
- Believing everything they see or hear
- Believing they're owed something
- Expecting rewards for things they haven't done
- Thinking the grass is greener, putting more effort into wishing than working on themselves.
What can we do about it?
Here are some things to consider if you're ready to make a shift in your mindset:
- Define and understand who you are, where your attitude sits, and be cool with it, or none of this works
- Make it a priority. This needs to be a conscious effort
- Take daily action
- Have a plan that might include a note, a written list, or a habit "Energy goes where the focus flows!"
- See the positive
- Engage more. Try to discover and explore.
- Listen more
- Feel the feels
- Pause
- Find an outlet
- Find a mentor or someone with whom you can have real, honest, productive conversations.
- Meditate
