What Growth Mindset Actually Means
MINDSET
Written by Rachel Mehaffey
The science behind growth mindset
Just have a positive mindset ...
What the actual f&*C does that mean?
Well it is more than some statement we throw after sitting in affirmations & manifestations believing we are now all 'shiny & new'
A positive mindset is an actual thing and anyone can work on achieving it. Why? Well it is referring to the thing I love most - science!
Neuroplasticity and Mindset: Research shows that the brain can form new neural connections throughout life, with studies indicating that adults can generate around 700 new neurons per day in the hippocampus, a region involved in learning and memory.
Whoop did you read that - NEW neurons related to learning and memory.
Why do I love this so much for you?
1. Subconscious Mind: The subconscious mind is responsible for processing information below the level of conscious awareness including influencing emotions and behaviors. Estimates suggest that the subconscious mind may account for up to 95% of our cognitive activity.
2. Conscious Mind: The conscious mind encompasses our awareness of thoughts, feelings, sensations, and perceptions in the present moment. It's associated with deliberate, voluntary processes, like decision-making, problem-solving, and focused attention. Estimates suggest that the conscious mind may only account for about 5% of our cognitive activity.
This is GOLD. Wanna know why?
We just learned we can develop new pathways thanks to neuroplasticity and there is 95% sitting there waiting to be reviewed & reset!
Yep we are not what others think we are, we are what we do but 95% of it could be old news! If we can focus our attention on clearing what is no longer serving we can utilise the ability to reset out mindset thanks to biology and give an actual meaning to GROW MINDSET.
Whoop! Yep this stuff gets me excited. Working on resetting the mindset is one of the key focus' I have in all of my coaching work. There is no point trying to shine a sh*& and, if we have the ability to clear it and reset to something that is serving up, why would we not!?
Mindset reset is all the focus in the & 7 Day Reset Program. Learn more about how it helps reset scientifically not just a wish & a dream!
