Big changes can be overwhelming, especially if you thrive on routine. When a shift happens and you feel that pressure in your body, stop and take a deep breath. Ask yourself: "What is in my control?" If the change itself is out of your hands, focus on the actions you can take to handle it. Shifting your focus to what you can control changes how the overwhelm feels inside you.

8 Growth Mindset Shifts That Work What does a growth mindset look like in real-world situations? Here are some positive growth mindset examples: 1. Embrace Any Challenges If you have a growth mindset, instead of feeling overwhelmed, you approach the challenging tasks as an opportunity to learn something new. 2. Learn From Any Feedback – Good Or Bad Feedback can be seen as a form of criticism that points out failures. But not for those with growth mindsets. 3. Seeing Effort As A Way To Be Successful Growth-minded professionals understand that effort is essential for improvement. Whether it’s mastering a new software tool , or a new activity, or engaging in upskilling and reskilling opportunities. 4. Persevering In The Face Of Setbacks In every career, there are setbacks. Projects don’t go as planned. Deals fall through. Goals aren’t met. Someone with a growth mindset sees these “setbacks” as opportunities to learn and grow. 5. Actively Seeking Out Learning Opportunities A key characteristic of people with a growth mindset is their hunger for knowledge. They’re always looking for ways to expand their skills and expertise. Even in areas outside their role. 6. Viewing Competition As Motivation Work environments can be rather competitive at times. It’s easy for individuals with a fixed mindset to see others’ successes as a threat. But someone with a growth mindset flips this script. 7. Pushing Beyond Job Descriptions A growth mindset means that people don’t limit themselves to the skill set of their job descriptions, as opposed to individuals with fixed mindsets. They look for ways to contribute beyond their role, developing new skills in the process. 8. Adapting To Change As the famous Heraclitus said, “The only constant in life is change.” Embracing change is at the heart of a growth mindset, as it fuels the drive to learn, adapt, and evolve. By welcoming new challenges and opportunities, we open ourselves to continuous growth and lifelong learning—both of which are essential for personal and professional success.

Before we can believe in a goal, we first must have an idea of what it looks like. To paraphrase the old adage: “We must see it before we can believe it”. Visualisation - is simply a technique for creating a mental image of a future event. When we visualize our desired outcome, we begin to “see” the possibility of achieving it. Through visualisation, we catch a glimpse of what is, our “preferred future.” When this happens, we are motivated and prepared to pursue our goal. How Visualization Works. Whether your mind is picturing a lemon, imagining swishing free throws or experiencing flying a plane through a simulator; the brain will process the information you are sending it through the act of visualization and then communicate that through your body's nervous system to your glands, organs and muscles. This is how visualization creates muscle and mind memory that increases confidence and performance, plus why physical bodily reactions come from a mental virtual reality.
