Mindset Timeout | The Mindset Continuum

When we think of a Mindset, most people associate that with the different ways that people think and behave to process their thoughts to live their daily lives. A person’s mindset is usually a set of beliefs, methods, or ideas to establish an individual personal pathway, philosophy of life and/or how they view the world. Your Mindset declaration to being “Growth” or “Fixed” is your recognition of the set of learned behaviors that outline your philosophy of life and is an ongoing journey. Establishing and learning a Mindset Continuum simplifies the journey by understanding how to develop a pathway to becoming progressively more growth-oriented in your Mindset. Welcome to this week’s TIME OUT and the Mindset Continuum… what is it and how to leverage it… Thanks for tuning in… Enjoy…!

Mindset Timeout | Mental Health & Stigmas that Hinder Performance

Mental Health and Wellness has been a very big focal point of discussion, especially in the past 4-5 years. It seems to have a very big effect on athletics, business, family life, and school as well there seems to be no discrimination.  With a growing number of people experiencing a decline in their mental health, society is becoming much more aware and much better equipped to respond to the needs of people who suffer from this affliction.

Mindset Timeout | The 2 Types of Pain for Success

We don’t like to be uncomfortable and we certainly don’t like to hurt. But, as an interesting quirk of human psychology, we can’t achieve our maximum levels of personal life satisfaction without growth, and growth only ever comes through effort and sometimes that hurts. Success requires us to pay a price... If you know the price to pay it won't be that painful, but if you don't act on what you want to do or say to be successful you could regret it forever...and that's painful! Let's take a TIME OUT and talk about the 2 Pains and what they're all about...  Thanks for tuning in...Enjoy.
