A Complete Guide to Mindset, Mental Toughness and Resilience

In order to define maturity in life, it is not necessary to take into account an individual's age but rather how willing they are to take responsibility for themselves. In order to change our ways, we have to become aware of the ways in which we are undermining ourselves. We can only change our ways once we become aware of how we can change.

People who are highly rational base their decision making on what makes logical sense, whereas people who are highly emotional base their decision making on what 'feels right'. The key to developing mental toughness will involve you striking a balance between the two and becoming wise.

The only way to discipline your mind is to know which mindset habits serve you, and which ones don't. Thoughts not only affect your emotions, they also affect your behavior. Whenever you think positively, you will feel better and perform better. Negative thinking will reflect in your behavior and outlook on life. Your mindset has a major influence on your attitude towards all aspects of your life.

Generally speaking, human beings are prone to passive, sluggish thinking. It is in seeking higher ground; we can overcome the habit of self- defeating thinking. It's good to do a 'check-up from the neck up' and evaluate the quality of your own mindset. This video offers you a visual checklist to help you start identifying whether you typically operate more out of a closed or a growth mindset.

Discipline is the door that stands between you and your goal in life; it's a muscle that needs to be developed. When life gets tough, we must discipline ourselves to avoid becoming overwhelmed by it. Self-discipline is about recognizing the space between the things that happen to us and the response we choose; from this position we can pull back and readjust to who we really want to be.

When we choose one thing, it must always come at the expense of another. This is known as the principle of opportunity cost. Every plus has a corresponding minus; every upside has a corresponding downside. We are always engaged in a certain mindset; increasing our self-awareness helps us to identify the opportunity cost of the mindset we are pursuing. This video is part 1 of 2.

The more you put into something, the more you will get out of it. There is no better way to learn than by stopping to stop, reflect, and consider all the principles and lessons you have taken so far from this course.

Our beliefs are not facts, they are merely ideas we buy into that are supported by the mindset that we operate from. It doesn't matter whether you believe you can or that you can't, you've already made up your mind either way. Either our beliefs will make a positive contribution to our lives or they won't. To evaluate how accurate your beliefs are, you need to evaluate the limitations you believe you have.

In our lives, there's always something that can be improved. As we envision what this improvement will look like, we begin to see our ideal self. A person who isn't committed to moving through the gap from where they are to where they want to be ends up unfulfilled; they'll do anything to alleviate the sense of emptiness they feel. ALL Progression in life is transitional. This video is part 1 of 2.

We'll now explore applications of mindset fluidity. How flexible is your attitude? Many people struggle through life trying to get it right, operating on 'shoulds and musts', almost as if there was a universal rule book they must follow. Each of us has the opportunity to consider how much our life is controlled by others. It is only when we hold ourselves to account that we are able to acquire abstract authority.

It's important to understand that some things in life we can control, and some things we can't. The “Circles of Control, Influence and Concern” model presented in this teaching will remind you that: If you cannot control it, do not get stressed about it. If you cannot influence it, do not get upset about it. Focus on what you can change, not on what you cannot.

Generally, a system consists of moving parts and components. The same is true of your thinking. We think based on the mental model that we have developed. We can only change our mental model if we first become aware of ourselves and the part our attitude is playing in the process. Systems thinkers tend to be high performing people who deliver tangible results. This video is part 1 of 2.

In the same way that a stationary object can be used to maintain a sense of equilibrium at sea, every individual needs a unique reference point for maintaining emotional equilibrium throughout their lives; this is their mental model, how they perceive themselves and the world around them. Our personal growth (URP) must be based on something that is constant; otherwise, we risk being swept away.

There are many personality tests out there that box people in and assign them an archetype based on their answers. In actuality, personality is fluid. One cannot compassionately categorize a person based on their fluid characteristics. Hans J Eysenck, a German-born English psychologist, created a highly-insightful model for understanding the flexibility that exists within the human personality.

We must sharpen up our thinking if we want to be taken more seriously in our relationships. Our mental flexibility - our ability to change our minds - is a marker of mental toughness. If personal development and self-improvement do not result in us making sounder decisions about how we live our lives, then what is the point of all this? We can make seven distinct categories of choices that allow us to develop solid character, responsibility, decisiveness, consistency, and maturity as human beings. This video is part 1 of 2.
