Here I will be giving my email list the first 14 days for free
I only gave Twitter the first 7
I hope you guys enjoy and use it well!
Week 1 of the 30-day action plan is focused on becoming aware of your fixed mindset tendencies.
Requirements:
Pen and Paper (Journal is best) , or Notes app
Daily reflect on how each day went, following these steps in your journal or notes app.
This challenge is designed to be done in 30 days for maximum output, but you can take longer if need be.
In this 30 day action plan I give you some examples in the "Thoughts:" section of how I used this you can apply these days to anything you want.
Here's a breakdown of each day's activities:
Day 1:
Reflect on your beliefs about your abilities and potential
• Take time to think about your beliefs about your abilities and potential.
• Do you believe that your skills and talents are fixed, or do you believe that you can develop and improve them over time?
• Write down your thoughts and feelings in a journal, and try to be honest with yourself.
Thoughts:
We have to figure out what might need to change so this is a crucial step
Day 2:
Identify fixed mindset thoughts and behaviors
• Pay attention when you find yourself making excuses, blaming others, or giving up easily.
• These are all signs of a fixed mindset.
• Write down any fixed mindset thoughts or behaviors you notice throughout the day.
Thoughts:
For me, complaining was a big one.
I stopped blaming the world and realized I was the problem.
Day 3:
Challenge fixed mindset thoughts and behaviors
• When you notice yourself engaging in fixed mindset thoughts or behaviors, challenge them.
• Ask yourself if they are true and if they are helping or hindering your growth.
• Write down any new insights or realizations you have in your journal.
Thoughts:
When letting go of my beliefs that my circumstances and the world were holding me back there was a shift to realizing that everything in my life is a direct response to every choice I've made, essentially everything in your life is your fault.
The good news is you have the power to change this reality, by challenging your beliefs and taking action.
Day 4:
Identify triggers for fixed mindset thinking
• Think about situations or events that tend to trigger fixed mindset thinking for you.
• For example, do you tend to give up easily when you encounter a difficult challenge?
• Do you feel intimidated by people who are more skilled or knowledgeable than you?
• Write down any triggers you identify in your journal.
Thoughts:
A big trigger for me is when I hang around people I shouldn't, we all know who is good for us and who isn't letting these people go is necessary to move on to the next stage of life.
Day 5:
Practice growth mindset thinking
• When you encounter a trigger for fixed mindset thinking, practice reframing it as an opportunity for growth and learning.
• For example, instead of giving up on a difficult challenge, remind yourself that it's an opportunity to develop new skills and improve your abilities.
• Write down any growth mindset thoughts or reframes you practice in your journal.
Thoughts:
Every time I'd have a negative thought or belief about a situation I'd practice redirection, a technique which requires conscious awareness of your thoughts.
To do this: Redirect your thought to another thought, one that essentially replaces the previous one.
Ex: "I want to drink alcohol." Redirect this to "There is no benefit to drinking alcohol, it actually destroys my body and my mind and makes me a worse person."
Practicing this redirection is essential if you want to truly shift your mindset to the new one where your potential is unlocked.
Day 6:
Practice self-compassion
• Remember that developing a growth mindset is a process, and it's okay to make mistakes along the way.
• Practice self-compassion by being kind and understanding towards yourself, even when you experience setbacks or challenges.
• Write down any self-compassionate thoughts or actions you practice in your journal.
Thoughts:
What helps me here is finding a day where I spend a few hours in solitude, I will go on a long walk by myself, then take myself out on a date to a coffee shop and just truly experience solitude at it's finest.
Day 7:
Reflect on your progress
• Take some time to reflect on what you've learned about yourself and your mindset over the past week.
• Write down any insights, realizations, or progress you've made toward developing a growth mindset.
• Use this reflection to set goals and intentions for the next week of the action plan.
Thoughts:
Reflection is a necessary process, this is where you will develop as a person and truly cement your new beliefs.
Week 1 is now finished, I'd suggest looking over your notes for the past 7 days and write a short summary about how you feel.
Week 2:
Embracing Challenges and Taking Risks
Day 8:
Identify a challenge
• Identify a challenge that you have been avoiding or feel intimidated by.
• Write down what makes this challenge difficult or intimidating for you.
Thoughts:
For me, learning better communication is what I need to work on, tonality specifically.
Day 9:
Break the challenge down into smaller steps
• Break the challenge down into smaller, more manageable steps.
• Write down each step in your journal.
Thoughts:
A small step I can take each day is to consciously choose to be more aware of my tone when speaking to others, then change it and become better at it over time.
Day 10:
Take the first step
• Take the first step towards overcoming your challenge.
• Write down how it felt to take action, and any insights you gained from the experience.
Thoughts:
The first step I am taking is consciously being aware of my tone when speaking to others, Insights I have gained thus far = I have a lot of work to do.
Day 11:
Embrace risk-taking
• Identify a situation where you can take a calculated risk to pursue a goal.
• Write down the potential risks and rewards of taking this risk.
Thoughts:
A potential situation where I can take a calculated risk is cold calling people with the pursuit to make sales or get an appointment over the phone.
Potential risks: I lose leads.
Potential Rewards: I get leads and make some CASHOLA
Day 12:
Take a calculated risk
• Take a calculated risk toward achieving your goal.
• Write down how it felt to take the risk, and any insights you gained from the experience.
Thoughts:
I started cold calling and landed a client for my girls cleaning business.
It felt amazing to take a risk and see the benefit.
Now we have more CASHOLA.
Day 13:
Embrace a discomforting idea
• Identify a situation that makes you uncomfortable or anxious.
• Write down what makes you uncomfortable or anxious, and why.
Thoughts:
Imagining that I have to call so many strangers to land a lead.
It's uncomfortable because I barely knew what I was doing, anxiety is caused back lack of information basically stepping into the unknown.
It's a process like anything else and I will get better over time.
Day 14:
Embrace discomfort
• Put yourself in a situation that makes you uncomfortable or anxious.
• Write down how it felt to embrace discomfort, and any insights you gained from the experience.
Thoughts:
Walking up to strangers and asking them questions can give huge anxiety, after doing it I realized it wasn't so bad.
It feels amazing when you walk away from a good conversation, the boost in confidence afterwards is everlasting.
