The Thought Error that will Keep You Stuck
Do you believe any of these thoughts in relation to something in your life that you would love to change?
- It’s going to be hard.
- I never follow through.
- There aren’t any good options.
- I have no choice.
- I’m always behind.
- Nothing will change.
What Is A Mindset?
A “mindset” is just a collection of thoughts, or assumptions, both conscious and unconscious. Believing that something won’t change is generally just an assumption, part of our mindset. The thing is, we don’t usually question or even notice our own mindset.
Our subconscious automatically assumes that what has happened in the past will happen again, which is why our natural assumptions are always based on past experiences. This is a thought error. Our subconscious fails to account for the fact that we can make different decisions than we have in the past.
And the good news is that as humans, we have the ability to make different decisions and create completely different outcomes! It starts, by noticing and questioning our own mindset. Simply put: If you make decisions assuming that nothing is going to change, nothing is going to change!
Why do Mindset Work?
Mindset work and changing your mindset is the fastest way to change your life because it’s the fastest way to change how you experience your current circumstances, the decisions you make, and the actions you take.

Late bedtime: Is a scarcity mindset keeping you up
