Creating a mindset that is functional to your goals
Is there a right way to achieve a goal?
The answer is “yes”, but only if you have a mindset that is functional to that goal. And the right mindset includes an attitude oriented towards growth and learning.
Indeed, it is the mindset with which you face daily challenges that allows you to overcome them as a winner. The good news is that you can build the “growth” mindset according to your goal along the way, step by step, by using the knowledge that you can do it, that you can learn and you can improve.
Above all, it is important to establish a routine that is functional to the goal.
How? By working on the “habit loop” circuit. Always ask yourself what mindset you have concerning the different goals you want to achieve, and start building habits that can effortlessly lead you to accomplish every single goal. Embrace the belief that “you can always improve” in every area.
Believing in it is “the” essential component: believing that change is possible gives you access to unimaginable resources, and it paves the way for the achievement of important goals. Today, tomorrow, always.
And this is where willpower comes into play. Willpower is undoubtedly a skill. However, it is also a muscle, and as such must be trained.
Working on the muscles of willpower creates resources reflected at 360 ° in all areas of our lives.
That is, when we learn to “force” ourselves to eat healthy or do more physical activity, we are doing something much deeper: we are changing – literally– our way of thinking!
As the muscles of willpower become “stronger”, good habits affect all areas of our lives in a cascade, all of them. “We evolve”.
We allow ourselves to “grow”.
We activate incredible “resources”.
That is why self-discipline is decisive for achieving a goal, as well as for improving life in general.
What is the most interesting aspect?
Nothing is impossible if we train the brain to make functional and correct decisions, with precise and challenging focuses.
How? Here are some simple steps to educate ourselves on self-control, and not waste energy unnecessarily;)
- Learn about and manage your limits ——–> SKILLS to be acquired
- Identify what your skills and strengths are——–> DIRECTION to look at
- Ask yourself what you are willing to put into play to reach your goal ———> VALUES we believe in
- Establish a habit that is useful for achieving the goal you want ———> ACTION!
Remember: the brain does not like to “struggle”, it much prefers automatisms. As you make your habits concrete and constant over time, they become real automatisms, without you even realizing it.
And thus, nothing is an effort anymore, nothing is lived as “renunciation” anymore.
Seeing is believing;)
