Who’d Have Thought It? – Mindset Matters

image1

Hello %FirstName%.

I’m going to start giving you some of my most powerful stuff this month so that you can make sure 2017 is your best year yet in your career and beyond.

You see, what I've noticed during over 16 years as a Professional Career Coach, is that the single thing that makes the biggest difference to people's success and happiness at work is their mindsets and attitudes. How you think and the questions you ask yourself are key.

Although you could say that they all come under the broad headings of positive mental attitude and taking responsibility, there are ten powerful mindsets which I'm going to share with you over the next ten months. That's one a month between now and December, so between each bulletin you'll have a whole month to implement what you've read and notice how well it works for you.

I'm not here to tell you what to think or believe, but at least try each month's mindset on for size and if you find it works for you, use it and share it. So without further ado, let's open the box and get stuck in.

I Am In Charge Of My Mind

I am in charge of my mind ...and therefore my results and choice of action and re-action in every situation.

The key word in here is “choice”. For most of us, presented with the statement above we’d say “yeah! Of course I’m in charge of my mind”; and the fact is that you are, but very often you probably give that power away.

How often do you find yourself saying things like “you make me so mad”, or “he/she always makes me feel so [add your own words here]!”. Who’s in charge then? You’re giving someone else the power to make you feel a certain way.

So the feeling is there to tell you something’s not right for you, but it IS your choice how to respond. You can choose to respond in the way you always have by getting mad or whatever, OR, you could choose to act/re-act differently. You can choose how to feel and how to act in every moment.

So this month I invite you to notice:

  • Notice how often you are blaming other people for how you feel
  • When you do notice, ask yourself “how else could I choose to feel and act now?”. Try to think of at least three options.
  • Then take one of those other options

Using this mindset alone could be transformational for you in terms of feeling in control of your life and reducing stress.  Have fun with it and remember to look out for next month’s bulletin when you’ll get another powerful mindset to try out.

Wishing you happiness and success.

Dave
