One of the biggest reasons that I see so many people
struggling to actually build the business that they want
is because they are not in the right mindset to create success.
It is that simple and for such a long time
I was that person and it was so frustrating.
So one day I decided that I really needed
to have a mindset shift and when I did this,
it literally changed my entire life.
So in this video I want to share with you my four simple steps
for how you can have a mindset shift
so that you can actually build a wildly successful business.
Hey, it's Carrie here and I am so excited
because I am going to be sharing with you some things
that have really helped me when it comes
to shifting my mindset
so that I can actually create the success that I want.
This stuff has really helped me to build
the business of my dreams.
It is what helped me to write my book
and get it published with Hay House
and turn it into a bestseller.
It is what has really helped me to achieve
some of my biggest goals that are on my vision board.
So I'm really, really excited to share this with you.
So the first step when it comes to shifting your mindset
is to actually create awareness around
where you're at right now.
What is your current mindset like right now?
So there's a really powerful intuitive journaling exercise
that I absolutely love to do.
It really helps me to create awareness around
what is going on in my life and how I'm feeling right now.
So I want you to just take some time
with a pen and a piece of paper.
Go somewhere quiet, go outdoors,
go wherever feels good.
Give yourself permission to sit down
and just to spend some time tuning in with yourself
and writing about how you're feeling
and what is going on internally.
So I want you to ask yourself the question,
"how am I feeling right now?
What is my mindset like right now?"
I want you to start writing and just allow the words
to flow onto the paper.
Don't really think as you go and just create awareness
of what you're currently experiencing
and what your current mindset really is.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
This is all about being really honest with yourself.
So the second step, once you've done that,
is to actually take a look at what shifts
you actually need to make.
So as part of the intuitive journaling exercise,
I want you to write down what your biggest
struggle is right now,
what your biggest mindset sticking point is.
So for example, maybe you've realized
that you actually have this really deep seated feeling
that you are not good enough.
Or maybe it's that you actually are really stuck
because you feel embarrassed to put your idea out there.
You're embarrassed about what people will think of you.
You're embarrassed to be judged
by maybe your friends, family, or people out there
that will discover your business.
So whatever it is that's bubbling to the surface for you
in terms of a mindset block
or a doubt, a worry, a fear that you have,
focus on that and I want you to ask yourself,
"but why do I feel like this?"
So write down, okay, "right now I really feel like
I'm not good enough.
Or right now I'm feeling really overwhelmed
and totally confused by things."
So whatever it is for you,
then you're going to write it down,
"but why do I feel like this?"
As you go, I want you to keep asking yourself questions
to help you to basically peel back the layers
of the onion that is you, to get to the heart and soul
of what's really going on here.
So I want you to figure out why is it that you feel like
you're not good enough or you're overwhelmed?
What is truly going on that is causing those feelings?
So often we think overwhelm or not feeling good enough
is the problem, but when we do this exercise,
we actually realize that there's something else going on
that is the real problem.
It could be that you discover something
that happened three years ago that you didn't even realize
is having a huge impact on how you're actually feeling
and the mindset that you're actually keeping today.
So doing this exercise helps you to uncover
what is really going on.
So ask yourself, “But why do I feel like this?”
And just keep going
and maybe the next thing you are going to write is,
“But why, but why? But why?”
Keep asking yourself questions to dig deeper
and deeper and deeper so that you can really uncover
why you are feeling the way you're feeling
or why you have a certain fear, or doubt, or worry,
or challenge that you're facing at the moment.
So once you've done that,
the third step is to look at what you need to shift into.
So looking at the solution.
So if you know, for example, okay,
I keep feeling like I am not good enough
and I feel like I'm not good enough because I realized that
when I was a kid,
the teachers at school kept telling me
that I was stupid, and that I wasn't good enough
and that I was never going to be good enough
or whatever it might be for you.
So then you think,
“Okay, so then what's the solution?
What is the solution so I don't let this
hold me back anymore?”
So get clear on that solution and just again,
do the intuitive journaling exercise and literally
write down the solution is going to be:
one, I need to put a Post-it note on my wall saying
you are good enough and I need to read it
every single day to myself.
Just start thinking of things that you could do
that could actually help you to shift from this negative mindset
that you're keeping or whatever, this fear, the doubt,
worry to a more positive mindset that's going to help you
to create more of what you want more success in your life.
So have a think about the solution to getting away
from the negative mindset into the positive mindset.
So before I get into the final step,
I'd really love you to leave me a comment and let me know
what the biggest things you are struggling with are.
So what is the biggest mindset shift
that you know you need to make?
Definitely leave me a comment and let me know.
And if you are struggling, ask me a question.
I would love to help you.
So leave a comment and let me know.
So the fourth and final step is to
create your daily rituals for a growth mindset.
This is so important.
So obviously we've talked about creating awareness,
looking at what mindset shifts you need to make
in order to create more success in your life.
So this step is the practical step that's going to
actually help you to do it on a day to day basis.
So your daily rituals for a growth mindset
are going to include things that will help you
to step away from self limiting thoughts
and step into a place where you feel confident,
you feel like the best version of you.
You feel like your mind is expansive
and you are just in such a positive frame
of mind that enables you to take the action
that you need to take.
So for example, a ritual for growth mindset
might be taking five minutes every single day to visualize.
To literally close your eyes, take a few deep breaths,
and connect with the vision of success
that you hold for yourself.
Maybe it's that you're focusing on a specific thing
that you want to achieve in your business,
a specific business goal and you vividly visualize
that having happened.
So you've achieved it, you've made it happen
and connecting with how it feels to have made that happen
so that every single day you are connecting
with the feelings of success.
You are connecting with the success having happened.
So you're experiencing it like it's already happened.
So instead of spending your days feeling like,
"Oh, I can't do it. I'm never going to make it happen."
Or being consumed by this mindset that's holding you back,
instead you're immersing yourself in a mindset
that is helping you to connect more
with actually making it happen.
So visualizing is so powerful because it really helps you
to connect with actually having achieved
what it is that you want to achieve.
So that's one thing you could do.
Another thing that you could do is to actually
set in your intentions every single day.
So every single day, get really clear
on what it is that you want to achieve.
Wherever it is that you want to go,
what it is that you want to make happen,
and this is going to help you to really get into
the right frame of mind because you're so intentional
about what you want.
I always say this, but success is not an accident.
Success is something that we create on purpose.
So we have to get intentional about it.
If you want to be successful,
you need to get intentional about it every single day.
Another thing that you could do is take time to actually
listen to something or watch something
that's going to help you to expand your mind.
Or it could even be reading a book.
So reading a book, listening to a podcast,
watching a video on YouTube,
doing something that is going to help you
to expand your mind and get away from a limited mindset
into a more expansive mindset
where you really believe in yourself,
you have more confidence.
So listening to a lot of personal development,
listening to people that are going to really help fire you up
and inspire you and get you to believe in yourself again.
Get you to feel good about yourself.
Get you to feel good about your dreams,
and the fact that you absolutely 100%
can make your dreams happen.
So have a think about what you would love to do
on a day to day basis that you think could help you
to get into a real growth mindset and make a list
of your own daily rituals for having a growth mindset
and then do them.
Practice them every single day.
Give yourself a challenge to practice them
or the next seven days, and then the next 14 days,
and the next 30 days and just keep doing it over
and over and over again until
they just become part of your natural daily habits.
I promise you it will make such a difference
and that will really help you to go from a mindset
that's holding you back to a mindset that's enabling you
to grow and create the success that you want.
