Mindshifting

Napoleon Hill remarked, "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."

Jesse Jackson observed, "If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it-then I can achieve it."

These quotes are both about mindsets. A mindset refers to the attitudes, beliefs, and ways of thinking that determine a person's behavior, outlook, and mental attitude toward a situation.

Everything starts with the mindset.

If you want to be motivated and persistent in overcoming obstacles, setbacks, and procrastination, those are mindsets. When you feel overwhelmed by obstacles, when setbacks make you want to quit or scream, when you can't seem to get started, those are mindsets as well.

Self-management, executive function, self-regulation, personal agency, and personal responsibility are mindsets.

Feeling stress, anger, anxiety, and demotivation are all mindsets, and so are feeling curious, playful, and confident.

Wouldn't you want to be able to switch from a mindset that is holding you back to one that allows you to be resilient, resourceful, innovative, or perseverant? That's Mindshifting. This book teaches you how to Mindshift. We will cover over 50 different techniques you can use to shift from mindsets that hold you back to ones that propel you forward.

The human brain is the result of billions of years of evolution and may be the most complex system in the entire universe. The brain controls everything we do, and everything we do starts with the brain's mindset. In this book, you will learn how mindsets are formulated, how to recognize when a mindset may be holding you back, and how to switch to a more beneficial mindset.

You will learn how to walk into situations prepared with a mindset predisposed toward success. When life throws unpleasant surprises at your plans, when people oppose you, when your brain starts sabotaging your actions or your emotions, you will be able to recover faster. When you see others held back by their own mindsets, you will have tools to help them reset and tap into their own resourcefulness.

Armed with this knowledge, you will be happier and more productive. You will find that situations that used to result in fight or flight reactions instead become opportunities for innovation and collaboration-just like the four people above and the hundreds of people who have taken Mindshifting classes over the last five years.
