Focus on Habits that Personally Motivate You

Even though you might not know where to start, it is critical that you don't procrastinate. Taking any action launches a growth mindset. With a fixed mindset, you are focused more on the risks than the rewards. A growth mindset is needed to proactively confront the same risks you've been avoiding. Once you achieve your goals and become good at something, it is time to apply your new mindsets and become good at something else. You are not programmed to do only one thing, so allow yourself to grow. Don't worry about all the things you should have as habits. Instead, tool your habits towards things that personally motivate you.

Although the first step is to ask yourself what you want the results to be, achieving this requires cultivating a growth mindset using strategies like:

• Identify Counter Mindsets - Maintaining confidence plays an important role in protecting your mindset against bad information and the naysayers who don't want you to succeed. To eliminate negative thoughts, flip the switch and start practicing the opposite to change negatives into positive affirmations.
• Believe You Can Change - Self-doubt, limiting beliefs and other negative thoughts, called counter-mindsets, get in the way of you achieving your goals. Studies have shown that as a person's mindset changes from rigid to growth-oriented it leads to motivated goal setting with faster results.
• Set a Pace Based on Your Mindset - Never wait for a change in your life to happen. Simply getting into action and pursuing your vision sets the foundation for all other changes to take place. Don't worry about how long change takes. Your focus should be on self-evaluation based on your growth mindset.

Changing your mindset doesn't happen by chance... it happens by choice and investing in a new mindset creates positive results. Whether your mindset it fixed or flexible will have huge implications when it comes to making successful changes in your life. It is important to be sensitive to both positive and negative information, as long as the input is used for constructive actions. People with a rigid mindset blame others for their own shortcomings instead of choosing to learn from them to become more successful in life. Your personal growth potential is only limited by your imagination and mindset.
