What is Mindset?
Simply put, mindset is a person's way of thinking. It can include an established set of beliefs, a tendency to interpret information in certain ways, and a typical frame of mind.
Mindset is Malleable
While it may feel natural or automatic, mindset is malleable! It can be changed, influenced, and shaped to best represent your values and move in the direction of your goals.
Mindset Matters
The way we think about a situation, interpret information, and react to others influences our behavior and emotions. Targeting thoughts is an effective way to change behavior and influence emotions.
Is Mindset the same as Mindfulness?
Mindfulness
Non judgmental awareness of one’s senses, thoughts, and emotions in the present moment.
No, but they're related. Practicing mindfulness is a helpful strategy for increasing one's awareness of their thoughts, patterns of thinking, typical reactions, and connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This awareness is the first step towards gaining control over how you think, act, and react!
