00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.439
Greetings, greetings, and welcome.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.200
Welcome back to the Sweet Spot.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:16.000
We're working on the word mindset, the power of mindset, and how does it infuse itself into everything that we do?
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.760
Do you understand what mindset means?
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.799
What is your definition of mindset?
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.640
Here's what I think.
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.319
Mindset is a collection of beliefs.
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:30.079
That's it.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.480
It's a collection of beliefs.
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.719
What do you believe?
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.120
And with that belief comes expectations.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.640
It's a collection of expectations along with a collection of beliefs.
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:53.439
Now you put the beliefs and your expectations together, and then we're gonna have something called interpretations.
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.000
You're gonna interpret based on what you believe and what you expect.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:03.359
And then how you pay attention, what you notice, the habits of your attention.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.040
So this is mindset.
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:11.439
I'm constructing something for you, of course, more psychological because I'm in psychiatry and all of that.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:42.000
Mindset is a collection of beliefs, expectations, and interpretations, your habits of attention as well, shaping how you see the world, shaping how you understand the world, shaping what meaning you give to anything that happens in your world, how you understand what is happening, and how you're gonna respond, how you choose to respond.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.360
Notice I said choose to respond.
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.840
This is how you're gonna make your move.
00:02:48.000 --> 00:03:04.479
You're gonna make your move based on your collection of beliefs, your expectations, your interpretations, your habits of attention, and how you understand what's going on and what you choose to do, what you choose to respond.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.800
Why am I saying choose to respond?
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.680
Why am I saying your beliefs and your expectations?
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.599
Because your mindset is yours.
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:18.000
You do have control, you do have power, you definitely do.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:27.280
And so when you're ready to make your move, when you're ready to take your next step, a good thing to do is to think through what is your mindset?
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:28.960
What are you believing?
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.919
What do you really believe is gonna happen here?
00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:34.960
What do you believe about what happened to you?
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.120
What do you expect?
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.319
What is your expectation level?
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.039
Is it high, low, is it positive, negative?
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.560
What about your expectations?
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.360
Have you examined them, right?
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.960
And how are you interpreting what's going on?
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.680
Is it happening to you or is it happening for you?
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.719
Is this the worst day in the world or is this an opportunity for you to show your strength?
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.439
It's all in what you interpret out of your beliefs and your expectations.
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.759
And what are you paying attention to?
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.000
Are you always looking for the positive?
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.080
Are you always paying attention to the good?
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.280
Is that your habit to see the best in everything?
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:16.959
To be optimistic?
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.639
Or is it the opposite?
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.279
Do you find fault?
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.279
Do you see what's wrong?
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:30.319
Are you always looking in the mirror and critiquing what's not working?
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:35.519
Are you always finding the error and then living with it?
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:46.000
Not saying that that's a bad thing to find errors, but just if that's the mindset and that's all you're gonna see, then that's what the world's gonna give you.
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.240
So, yeah, mindset, sweet spotters, a big word.
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.160
And I wanted us to have the right definition of it.
00:04:54.399 --> 00:05:02.879
This collection of beliefs, this collection of expectations, this way of interpreting the world, right?
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:09.839
So that you can understand what a mindset is, right?
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.959
So, do you get it?
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:12.399
Are you with me on that?
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.360
Perfect.
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:33.759
Because if you're an athlete, if you're a high performer, right, when when you hear that, you should think about how is my mindset influencing what I'm noticing on the field, on the court, on the pitch, on the ice, wherever I perform on the stage, at the board meeting.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:39.439
How is my mindset influencing what I notice?
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.399
Because what you're noticing and what you're paying attention to is your reality.
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:52.480
And what you believe is possible comes out of what you're noticing a lot, a lot of times.
00:05:52.720 --> 00:06:00.480
How you interpret pressure if you're a performer or you are somebody under a pressure, how do you interpret it?
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:10.800
That's part of your mindset, and what you do after success, what you do after failure, that's also part of your mindset.
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.720
So, yeah, mindset's very important.
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:21.680
And so I'm asking you and challenging you before you make your moves to really check in with your mindset.
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.680
And even after you've made your move, check in with your mindset.
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.399
What you do after success is important to know.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:36.160
What you do after failure or not things not working out is important to understand.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:45.920
How you deal with uncertainty or injury or disappointment or frustration matters, and your mindset is the key.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.720
So that's it for today.
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.399
We're just going to breathe and spend a moment with the word mindset.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.160
Before we make any move, we're going to check in with our mindset.
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.680
What is a collection of beliefs?
00:06:57.839 --> 00:06:59.680
What is my collection of expectations?
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.319
What is the collection of my interpretations say?
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.040
Who am I being and what am I thinking and how am I valuing this moment?
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:12.160
And I have control here because the mindset belongs to me.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:21.680
You know, I think of mindset as uh as an internal lens, a lens through which you can interpret any experience.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:29.439
You and I are looking through a lens today, this morning, this afternoon, this evening, whenever you're listening to this, you are looking through a lens.
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:33.759
You're in fact listening to me through a lens today.
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:35.920
The lens of your mindset.
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:43.360
And you're interpreting whether what I'm saying is nonsense or it's making sense to you.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.079
So mindset is the internal lens.
00:07:46.160 --> 00:08:01.360
It's not like the glasses you're wearing on your face or your contacts or whatever, or it's more like something internal that you you you you listen to the world and you make sense of the world with, an internal lens through which you interpret any experience.
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:11.839
And that's why two athletes or two people can face the same challenge and have a completely different response.
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.759
Because you know why?
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:21.199
Because they're giving that experience a different meaning based on the lens they're looking through.
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.839
What lens are you looking through today?
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.240
What lens are you listening through today?
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.200
What lens are you feeling through today?
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.279
For science, the soul and for success.
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.600

00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.399

I believe in you.
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:50.960
I know you've got this.
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.279
I know you can overcome it.
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.679
