Our Brain Our Reality; Deliberately Manifest w/ Dream Age
âLimitations are only in your mind. You can achieve whatever you desire regardless age, where you come from, or whether you have a formal education or not. With the entrepreneurial mindset, you thrive in everything you do,â she says.
The saying âyou canât teach an old dog new tricks,â in fact, couldnât be any further from the truth. There are always opportunities for learning and skill development. Developing new skills has obvious career benefits. However, ongoing learning is also vital to our wellbeing having proven to boost our self-esteem and self-efficacy.
We have certain beliefs about ourselves and our abilities based on our mindset. In fact, our mindset often influences what goals we set and therefore also what we achieve. An individual with a fixed mindset will often prevent him- or herself from trying new things, attempting challenging, but rewarding tasks and even never discover things that he or she may love doing.
Studies have shown, however, that if we can see even a slight improvement in whatever we are attempting to do, we are able to appreciate the progress and momentum moving us forward instead of getting stuck in the belief that something is âimpossible.â When we can appreciate our efforts, we are not only more likely to stay with the challenge at hand, but also enjoy the process of learning more.
Take for example a simple sentence like âIâm not fluent in Spanishâ versus âIâm not fluent in Spanish yet.â By simply putting the word âyetâ at the end of the sentence, youâre able to change your mindset about your own learning abilities and send reinforcing and positive signals to your brain.
When have you achieved what you initially thought was unachievable or exceeded your own learning expectations?
