Chapter 3 The Assessment In order to figure out how to move forward, it's necessary to take a look at your current situation to find out what is working and what isn't.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:19.679
By breaking down your life into smaller, manageable pieces, it's much easier to see where you succeed and what is holding you back.
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:27.039
In his book Essentialism, Greg McCone wrote, Essentialism is not about how to get more things done.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.519
It's about how to get the right things done.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:39.679
It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.600
McCone 2022.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:54.240
By focusing on what is essential and eliminating things that don't serve you, it becomes much easier to set achievable goals, create systems that work, and find success to keep you motivated.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:02.079
As you work through the questions in this chapter, take time to reflect on each of your answers before moving forward.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:16.719
At the end of the assessment, you will have all of the pieces needed to move forward through the rest of the workbook as you create a healthy mindset and a system that serves you when focusing your time and energy on accomplishing your goals.
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.359
Reflect and celebrate.
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.319
List three things that you have accomplished that you are proud of.
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.719
What are three things you are currently thankful for?
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.599
What are three things you have accomplished that you are proud of?
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.400
What are three things that you have overcome in the past?
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:46.239
What lessons did you learn about yourself through achieving those accomplishments and overcoming challenges?
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:55.200
What lessons did you learn about others as you work to achieve those accomplishments overcoming challenges?
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:03.760
Part of having a healthy mindset is not only thinking about actions but thinking about your thoughts and feelings.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.280
How did you feel when you reached those accomplishments?
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.159
How did you feel when facing obstacles and challenges?
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.719
Did you allow yourself to experience those feelings?
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.439
Why or why not?
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.560
Which of those feelings do you want to hold on to and which do you want to let go of?
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.599
Set intentions.
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.919
Think of three words that can be your guideposts as you move forward.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:46.960
Some examples that people have used in the past include healthy, intentional, confident, peaceful, bold, compassionate, strong.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.439
What are your three words that can be your guideposts as you move forward?
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.080
Reframe and master mindsets.
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:01.120
In order to change your mindset to a healthy mindset, you must first identify what your current mindset is.
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.319
There are two types of mindsets fixed mindsets and growth mindsets.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:19.919
People with fixed mindsets believe that their talents and abilities are set in stone, whereas people with growth mindsets believe that they can develop their talents and abilities through hard work, good teaching, and persistence.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.560
What mindset do you have?
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.319
Fixed mindset.
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.599
I have a certain amount of talent and ability and I can't really do much to change it.
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.120
Growth mindset.
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.479
I can develop my talents and abilities through hard work, good teaching, and persistence.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.639
Which of the following best describes your current situation?
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.599
I am in a rut and I don't see a way out.
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.039
I have some goals that I would like to achieve, but I am not sure how to go about them.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:55.840
I am very happy with where I am in life, but there are always areas where I can improve.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:04.159
If you are in a rut and don't see a way out, it is essential to take a look at your current situation to find out what is working and what isn't.
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:11.759
Once you have a better understanding of your current situation, you can begin to set goals and create a plan to achieve them.
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:18.160
It is possible to have a fixed mindset in some areas in life and a growth mindset in others.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:22.160
Let's take a look at what your mindsets currently are.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.759
Here are some examples of fixed mindsets.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.959
When facing challenges, your inner voice says there is no way I can do that.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.680
When facing failures, your inner voice says I stink at sports.
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.040
When facing conflicts, your inner voice says, I'm just a terrible person.
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.920
When facing criticism, your inner voice says, I'll never be good enough.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.439
When facing mistakes, your inner voice says I can't do anything right.
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.040
Now, take some time to think about your mindsets for each situation.
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.600
When facing challenges, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:07.040
When facing failures, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.480
When facing conflicts, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.240
When facing criticism, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.759
When facing mistakes, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.920
You have a choice with what your inner voice says.
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.360
As you think of your answers, are you happy with the way you talk to yourself?
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.240
Is the way you talk to yourself healthy?
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.959
Would you talk to someone else that way?
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.079
It is possible to shift your mindset.
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.839
It just takes training.
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.480
It's no different than drills and practice.
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.240
Only you are focusing on the mental instead of the physical.
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.879
Let's take those fixed mindsets and change them to growth mindsets.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.439
Look back at your answers and think how you can reframe each mindset.
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.720
When facing challenges, you can reframe and say, I can learn to do that, go for it, make it happen.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.439
When facing failures, you can say everyone fails.
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.240
Time spent learning is never wasted time.
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.120
How can I approach this from a different angle?
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.279
When facing conflicts, you can say, I don't always need to be right or included.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.759
Disagreements will happen, and that doesn't mean I am unloved or unwanted.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.920
I can listen and communicate better.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.800
When facing criticism, you can say, I am good enough, but there is always room for improvement.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:44.079
When facing mistakes, you can say, you can't grow without trying new things, and it's okay to mess up.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.519
What can I learn and who can I ask for help?
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.360
Now it's your turn.
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.519
Take your fixed mindsets and think about how you can change those mindsets to growth mindsets.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.959
When facing challenges, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.879
When facing failures, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.040
When facing conflicts, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.199
When facing criticism, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:24.959
When facing mistakes, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.480
Trying to tackle all of your fixed mindsets at one time will not serve you well.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:39.199
You will be trying to tackle too many challenges at once, so pick the one mindset that you want to start working on and think about it now.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.399
What actionable steps can you take to start challenging your mindset?
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:56.240
For example, if you've chosen to work on your mindset when faced with challenges, you may decide to stop, realize that you can do it, and break the challenges into smaller steps.
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.920
Identify and prioritize your values.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.319
The next step is to prioritize and identify your values.
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:24.160
Some examples of values include family, relationships, personal growth, health, spirituality, creativity, mental health, loyalty, honesty, toughness, determination, courage, and generosity.
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.720
What are five values that are important to you?
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:37.759
Now let's rank those values in order of importance and reflect on how you currently act on those values.
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.919
For example, health.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.600
You think I've been consistent with workouts but I don't make healthy food choices.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.039
Look at the rest of those values and reflect on how you currently act upon them.
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.720
Now take some time to set up intentions to prioritize those values going forward.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.879
For example, with health.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:08.559
You say I need to prepare healthy snacks ahead of time so they are as easy to grab as unhealthy choices.
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.080
Do the rest with your other four values.
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.320
You may want to go back to this assessment as we will refer back to it throughout the rest of the workbook.
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.759
Being an athlete requires more than just physical training.
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.720
It's important to have a healthy mindset as well.
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:30.320
That's why I've executed to offer my healthy mindset for athletes 30-day program.

Chapter 3 The Assessment In order to figure out how to move forward, it's necessary to take a look at your current situation to find out what is working and what isn't.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:19.679
By breaking down your life into smaller, manageable pieces, it's much easier to see where you succeed and what is holding you back.
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:27.039
In his book Essentialism, Greg McCone wrote, Essentialism is not about how to get more things done.
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.519
It's about how to get the right things done.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:39.679
It is about making the wisest possible investment of your time and energy in order to operate at our highest point of contribution by doing only what is essential.
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.600
McCone 2022.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:54.240
By focusing on what is essential and eliminating things that don't serve you, it becomes much easier to set achievable goals, create systems that work, and find success to keep you motivated.
00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:02.079
As you work through the questions in this chapter, take time to reflect on each of your answers before moving forward.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:16.719
At the end of the assessment, you will have all of the pieces needed to move forward through the rest of the workbook as you create a healthy mindset and a system that serves you when focusing your time and energy on accomplishing your goals.
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.359
Reflect and celebrate.
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:24.319
List three things that you have accomplished that you are proud of.
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.719
What are three things you are currently thankful for?
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.599
What are three things you have accomplished that you are proud of?
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.400
What are three things that you have overcome in the past?
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:46.239
What lessons did you learn about yourself through achieving those accomplishments and overcoming challenges?
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:55.200
What lessons did you learn about others as you work to achieve those accomplishments overcoming challenges?
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:03.760
Part of having a healthy mindset is not only thinking about actions but thinking about your thoughts and feelings.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.280
How did you feel when you reached those accomplishments?
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.159
How did you feel when facing obstacles and challenges?
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.719
Did you allow yourself to experience those feelings?
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.439
Why or why not?
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:26.560
Which of those feelings do you want to hold on to and which do you want to let go of?
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.599
Set intentions.
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.919
Think of three words that can be your guideposts as you move forward.
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:46.960
Some examples that people have used in the past include healthy, intentional, confident, peaceful, bold, compassionate, strong.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.439
What are your three words that can be your guideposts as you move forward?
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.080
Reframe and master mindsets.
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:01.120
In order to change your mindset to a healthy mindset, you must first identify what your current mindset is.
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.319
There are two types of mindsets fixed mindsets and growth mindsets.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:19.919
People with fixed mindsets believe that their talents and abilities are set in stone, whereas people with growth mindsets believe that they can develop their talents and abilities through hard work, good teaching, and persistence.
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.560
What mindset do you have?
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:24.319
Fixed mindset.
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.599
I have a certain amount of talent and ability and I can't really do much to change it.
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.120
Growth mindset.
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.479
I can develop my talents and abilities through hard work, good teaching, and persistence.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.639
Which of the following best describes your current situation?
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.599
I am in a rut and I don't see a way out.
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:49.039
I have some goals that I would like to achieve, but I am not sure how to go about them.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:55.840
I am very happy with where I am in life, but there are always areas where I can improve.
00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:04.159
If you are in a rut and don't see a way out, it is essential to take a look at your current situation to find out what is working and what isn't.
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:11.759
Once you have a better understanding of your current situation, you can begin to set goals and create a plan to achieve them.
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:18.160
It is possible to have a fixed mindset in some areas in life and a growth mindset in others.
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:22.160
Let's take a look at what your mindsets currently are.
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.759
Here are some examples of fixed mindsets.
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.959
When facing challenges, your inner voice says there is no way I can do that.
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.680
When facing failures, your inner voice says I stink at sports.
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.040
When facing conflicts, your inner voice says, I'm just a terrible person.
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:45.920
When facing criticism, your inner voice says, I'll never be good enough.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:51.439
When facing mistakes, your inner voice says I can't do anything right.
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:57.040
Now, take some time to think about your mindsets for each situation.
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.600
When facing challenges, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:07.040
When facing failures, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.480
When facing conflicts, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.240
When facing criticism, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.759
When facing mistakes, what does your inner voice say?
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.920
You have a choice with what your inner voice says.
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.360
As you think of your answers, are you happy with the way you talk to yourself?
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.240
Is the way you talk to yourself healthy?
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.959
Would you talk to someone else that way?
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.079
It is possible to shift your mindset.
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:43.839
It just takes training.
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.480
It's no different than drills and practice.
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.240
Only you are focusing on the mental instead of the physical.
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.879
Let's take those fixed mindsets and change them to growth mindsets.
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.439
Look back at your answers and think how you can reframe each mindset.
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:06.720
When facing challenges, you can reframe and say, I can learn to do that, go for it, make it happen.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.439
When facing failures, you can say everyone fails.
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.240
Time spent learning is never wasted time.
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.120
How can I approach this from a different angle?
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.279
When facing conflicts, you can say, I don't always need to be right or included.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.759
Disagreements will happen, and that doesn't mean I am unloved or unwanted.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:29.920
I can listen and communicate better.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:36.800
When facing criticism, you can say, I am good enough, but there is always room for improvement.
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:44.079
When facing mistakes, you can say, you can't grow without trying new things, and it's okay to mess up.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.519
What can I learn and who can I ask for help?
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.360
Now it's your turn.
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.519
Take your fixed mindsets and think about how you can change those mindsets to growth mindsets.
00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:00.959
When facing challenges, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.879
When facing failures, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.040
When facing conflicts, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:19.199
When facing criticism, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:24.959
When facing mistakes, what is your growth mindset inner voice?
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.480
Trying to tackle all of your fixed mindsets at one time will not serve you well.
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:39.199
You will be trying to tackle too many challenges at once, so pick the one mindset that you want to start working on and think about it now.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.399
What actionable steps can you take to start challenging your mindset?
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:56.240
For example, if you've chosen to work on your mindset when faced with challenges, you may decide to stop, realize that you can do it, and break the challenges into smaller steps.
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.920
Identify and prioritize your values.
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:04.319
The next step is to prioritize and identify your values.
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:24.160
Some examples of values include family, relationships, personal growth, health, spirituality, creativity, mental health, loyalty, honesty, toughness, determination, courage, and generosity.
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.720
What are five values that are important to you?
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:37.759
Now let's rank those values in order of importance and reflect on how you currently act on those values.
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.919
For example, health.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.600
You think I've been consistent with workouts but I don't make healthy food choices.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.039
Look at the rest of those values and reflect on how you currently act upon them.
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.720
Now take some time to set up intentions to prioritize those values going forward.
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.879
For example, with health.
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:08.559
You say I need to prepare healthy snacks ahead of time so they are as easy to grab as unhealthy choices.
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:12.080
Do the rest with your other four values.
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.320
You may want to go back to this assessment as we will refer back to it throughout the rest of the workbook.
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.759

00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.720
