How Changing Your Mindset Can Improve Your Vida

You probably don’t think about how your mindset affects your vida. You have always thought this way, either as a result of how you were raised or through other circumstances. Your mindset in fact does affect your life. By changing how you think you can improve your life. Abundance mindset, scarcity mindset, fear mindset, fixed mindset, growth mindset, confident mindset and many others are all different types of mindsets we have. Each unconscious and conscious belief affects our lives every moment.

According to the research of Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, the power of our beliefs, both conscious and unconscious, and how changing even the simplest of them can have profound impact on nearly every aspect of our lives.When you change your mindset you become more creative, more artistic, more intelligent, more successful, more athletic, and more fulfilled.

Here are some ways changing your mindset to an abundance or growth mindset can improve your life.

1. You aren’t afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Changing your mindset to one of growth allows you to see the many different paths available to you in whatever you are seeking-job advancement, creative outlets or something more personal. This allows you to move forward rather than being stuck in the same place.
2. When you change your mindset, you see there is plenty of resources to go around. Even though there will be competition you will see the opportunities in every aspect of your life.
3. You become comfortable sharing ideas without feeling threatened or intimidated, which leads to better choices, environments and relationships. You aren’t afraid of being a part of a team and participating in group situations.
4. Changing your mindset to one of growth helps you build better personal and romantic relationships. You realize people will always have differences. You learn that a relationship involves learning about and from each other, you grow together and develop skills to work well together.
5. You’ll begin to judge yourself and others less. You won’t have time to waste on judging what others are saying or doing. Instead, you’ll be focusing on making progress in your life.
6. The change to a growth mindset has you accepting constructive criticism for what it is and using it to grow from. The growth mindset helps you be more confident because you won’t need validation to reassure you that you’re doing it right.
7. You can change your mindset. And it will improve your life. Your skills can be cultivated, learned, practiced and grown. You no longer worry about what will happen. Instead, you will commit to the process of doing, finishing and learning along the way.

For me changing my mindset has really helped in how I develop and approach our work here at Recetas. For instance, when I look at the reach of our videos, social media and blog posts, I no longer focus on numbers. I approach everything with a sense of curiosity. I ask myself and my team, “What did we learn?” I say “Oh! This pattern is interesting. Let’s explore what this means or let’s sit on this.” “Let’s compare it to this. How is it different?” Going in with a sense of mystery and wonder is very different and I think in the past I would have become quite disillusioned and may have abandoned this quite quickly.

Instead, we find ourselves celebrating and seeing the abundance in the small things like hitting a number of followers that to some may seem small, but we are grateful knowing that our numbers are authentic and organic growth. I could focus on the small number of subscribers to our YouTube channel but instead I celebrate, and I am so happy when I get a DM from one person telling me the meditation or mindfulness practice really helped them. This shift keeps me motivated and I find that I am more present to what I’m experiencing in the present rather than focusing on a goal and then taking that on as part of my identity or self-worth.

Changing your mindset helps you grow as a person, improves your skills and helps you build relationships. You will step out of your comfort zone to go after what you want and believe you will get it. But most important you will enjoy the moment and the present.
