- 1:16helping us to realize our full potential
- 1:19okay so let's begin I'll share my screen
- 1:23okay so in this training today we will
- 1:25focus on these topics uh fixed mindset
- 1:29versus uh growth mindset uh mindset
- 1:31blocks and limiting beliefs which is
- 1:33actually stopping you from achieving the
- 1:36results that you want it's not only uh
- 1:38applicable for the watercolor course
- 1:40that you have joined or um any art
- 1:43related uh stuff but it is applicable in
- 1:46your entire life in all the areas these
- 1:48mindsets blocks and limiting belie
- 1:50beliefs can actually stop you and
- 1:52another thing that we will learn about
- 1:54is Truth Versus belief and how they are
- 1:57formed how are these mind mindsets how
- 1:59are these beliefs formed in us as a
- 2:01human being are we born with our
- 2:04mindsets and beliefs or is it something
- 2:06acquired over the time of our growth
- 2:09okay and then finally we will see
- 2:11whether this can be changed all of you
- 2:13will have your own mindsets and beliefs
- 2:15and is it possible to change these
- 2:17mindset and beliefs for the good for for
- 2:19the good not for the
- 2:20bad and before we dive deep into uh
- 2:25understanding more about different
- 2:26mindsets and beliefs what are mindsets
- 2:29and beliefs what is your thought about
- 2:31mindsets and beliefs you can comment in
- 2:33the comment box when you are watching
- 2:35this comment comment below what are the
- 2:37different mindsets and beliefs that you
- 2:39are aware of can you think about some
- 2:41mindsets that you are aware of which
- 2:43people may
- 2:45have have you heard about positive
- 2:47people and negative people or people
- 2:49with a positive mindset and a negative
- 2:52mindset have you heard about it which is
- 2:54very common right and then you might
- 2:56have come across these terms like fixed
- 2:59mindset and growth mindset have you
- 3:01heard about those kind of mindsets and
- 3:04then what are
- 3:05beliefs do you know what are
- 3:07beliefs okay so let's see what are
- 3:09mindsets and what are beliefs so
- 3:12mindsets are like a set of attitudes
- 3:15that um that that you have okay set of
- 3:18attitudes that you have which um uh will
- 3:21influence how you generally think about
- 3:24your world and your place and how it
- 3:26shapes and that is what influences your
- 3:29uh Behavior or responses and reaction to
- 3:31certain situations that is called
- 3:33mindset for example positive mindset so
- 3:36a person with a positive mindset is like
- 3:39um they have a positive attitude in
- 3:42every situation in most of the
- 3:45situations in their life they have a
- 3:46positive attitude where they will look
- 3:48for a positivity out of any situation
- 3:51even if they are receiving a challenge
- 3:53uh if they're going through a
- 3:54challenging situation their mind will be
- 3:56searching and looking for what could be
- 3:59a positive outcome out of this challenge
- 4:01that I'm going through currently that is
- 4:03called positive mindset okay and this
- 4:06mindset will be applicable in every
- 4:08situation of this person okay so let's
- 4:11imagine this as a climate for a uh place
- 4:15okay so if we consider the climate for a
- 4:17place you know that generally what we
- 4:20can expect in a climate for example we
- 4:22all uh most of the people in this course
- 4:24are from Kerala so it is having a
- 4:27tropical climate Okay if there are
- 4:29people people from uh the UK or
- 4:32somewhere in the northern hemisphere
- 4:33higher up the Northern Hemisphere they
- 4:35may be having a different climate all
- 4:37together right so that is and when you
- 4:40say the climate is tropical you have a
- 4:42general understanding about what you can
- 4:44expect in that region so everything that
- 4:46is happening in that region is uh based
- 4:50on the climate in that area okay now
- 4:53what is belief belief can be compared to
- 4:55the weather in that area okay which is
- 4:57more specific right uh so today the
- 5:00weather may be very hot summer tomorrow
- 5:02the weather may be like rainy right and
- 5:05day after tomorrow it could be windy so
- 5:08this is these are the beliefs which are
- 5:10more specific okay uh and let us give an
- 5:13example within the positive mindset what
- 5:15could be the beliefs that you have and
- 5:17the beliefs are around different
- 5:19situations or areas of your life okay uh
- 5:22say for example what are the beliefs
- 5:24that you have when you think about
- 5:26communicating okay how good a
- 5:28communicator you are are okay in general
- 5:31when you think about your communication
- 5:33skills what are your beliefs do you
- 5:35believe that oh I always mess up
- 5:37whenever I try to communicate something
- 5:39to my
- 5:42seniors um or another belief could be I
- 5:45come out I come across as very silly
- 5:47whenever I am in my peer group do you
- 5:50these are specific beliefs in this area
- 5:52okay another could be like oh I see a
- 5:55lot of scope in Improvement in my
- 5:57communication skills if I work on the so
- 6:00and so things I'm sure I'm going to
- 6:02improve my communication skill okay so
- 6:05uh what I said at the last are positive
- 6:07uh beliefs okay which means it is
- 6:10encouraging the person to take positive
- 6:12action it is giving a positive emotion
- 6:15to the person uh inspiring emotion to
- 6:18the person which is a positive emotion
- 6:20whereas the other thoughts I always mess
- 6:22up whenever I communicate with my higher
- 6:25uh management or I come across as silly
- 6:28and foolish when I'm talking to my
- 6:30friends when I'm in a discussion with my
- 6:32friends and peer group these are
- 6:34negative mindsets why why it is negative
- 6:36mindsets I mean negative beliefs so why
- 6:38do you think these are negative beliefs
- 6:40these beliefs inside you will actually
- 6:43scare you will stop you from engaging in
- 6:46that communication right here we are
- 6:48talking about communication so to take
- 6:50forward a communication the first these
- 6:53mindsets which I told now are going to
- 6:54stop you or going to make you uh feel
- 6:58scared right that's a NE negative thing
- 7:00it is actually blocking you so these are
- 7:02negative beliefs or it is called
- 7:04limiting beliefs those beliefs which are
- 7:06stopping you blocking you limiting you
- 7:09are called limiting beliefs okay and the
- 7:12other set of beliefs uh is like helping
- 7:14you encouraging you supporting you to
- 7:17take a action towards your goal okay so
- 7:20this is how mindsets and beliefs are uh
- 7:23in general defined okay I hope now you
- 7:26have a um clear understanding about what
- 7:30are mindsets and what are beliefs in a
- 7:32person okay so we saw about uh positive
- 7:36mindset and negative mindset what are
- 7:38the other kinds of mindsets that are
- 7:40possible for people to Harbor um have
- 7:43you heard about scarcity mindset and
- 7:46abundance mindset people with scarcity
- 7:49mindset are like nothing is enough for
- 7:51them okay uh it's like um they feel that
- 7:55I'm not loved enough uh I don't get to
- 7:58play enough I don't get to uh relax
- 8:01enough I never have enough time time is
- 8:05limited um our um what do you say our
- 8:08capabilities are limited there is a
- 8:10limit to what I can do um that these are
- 8:13all limiting or like scarcity mindset
- 8:16okay there is not enough for everybody
- 8:19my knowledge uh is uh limited if I share
- 8:23my knowledge I'm not I'm going to lose
- 8:25the power uh I have to secure my
- 8:27knowledge I should not be sharing it
- 8:29with others so this kind of a mindset is
- 8:32called scarcity mindset which will help
- 8:35you I mean which will harm you and which
- 8:37will uh actually make you an insecure
- 8:40person okay you will become a very
- 8:41insecure person a fearful person that is
- 8:45how your emotions will be most generally
- 8:48okay and this all happens subconsciously
- 8:50you may not realize yourself that you
- 8:52are a person with a scarcity mindset
- 8:54okay and um what is the opposite of
- 8:58scarcity mindset the oppos opposite of
- 8:59scarcity mindset is abundance mindset
- 9:02okay they will not be scared they will
- 9:03not be insecure they're confident in
- 9:05whatever they have they they know that
- 9:07there is enough and more for everybody
- 9:09in this planet okay so that uh they will
- 9:12be very um uh very posit wholeheartedly
- 9:16sharing their knowledge sharing whatever
- 9:18they have uh they will not feel like
- 9:19rushing and grabbing something grabbing
- 9:22an opportunity out of desperation they
- 9:24will be choosy in what they look for
- 9:27what they choose uh everything they
- 9:29there will be a decision and calmness
- 9:31and everything will be there then they
- 9:32will not be insecure in Sharing what
- 9:35they know with others uh they'll be more
- 9:37confident this is the kind of feelings a
- 9:40person with a abundance mindset will
- 9:42have okay um if you are running a
- 9:45business or if you are in a job if
- 9:47you're looking for a job uh you can go
- 9:49there with a scarcity mindset or an
- 9:51abundance mindset if you're going U for
- 9:54a job hunting with a scarcity mindset
- 9:56what will you do you will be um uh
- 9:59grabbing the first opportunity without
- 10:01thinking too much every opportunity you
- 10:03will be applying with the fear oh my God
- 10:06what will I do if I don't get this I
- 10:08have to do everything that is possible
- 10:10so that I get this job okay you will be
- 10:13operating from a fear uh standpoint you
- 10:16will not be inspired inside you okay
- 10:19that is a feeling that you'll notice
- 10:21whereas if you're going there with an
- 10:22abundance mindset inside your mind you
- 10:25know that if this if not this
- 10:26opportunity I'm going to get another
- 10:27opportunity there are immense
- 10:29opportunities in this world there are
- 10:31immense ways of doing job in this world
- 10:33this is not the end of the world maybe
- 10:35I'm rejected here but something better
- 10:37is waiting for me this is called
- 10:39abundance mindset okay so when you are
- 10:41applying for job from this mindset from
- 10:44an abundance mindset you will be in a
- 10:46happy State okay uh you will be doing it
- 10:49from an inspired State you'll be
- 10:51creating your resume you'll be applying
- 10:53for different jobs from an inspired
- 10:55state of mind so that is the difference
- 10:57in emotions that you will feel feel if
- 11:00you are coming from a scarcity mindset
- 11:02and a abundance mindset okay so I hope
- 11:04you understood the difference U
- 11:06different mindsets now what other
- 11:08mindsets can you think about we we saw
- 11:11about positive mindset negative mindset
- 11:14um fixed mindset growth mindset then
- 11:16scarcity mindset and abundance mindset
- 11:19what else uh can you think about can you
- 11:21type in the chat when you are watching
- 11:22this recording what are the other
- 11:24mindsets that you can think about okay
- 11:27you can pause the video and type it um
- 11:29in the chat when you're are watching
- 11:30this video okay and uh the another
- 11:34mindset that I can think about is U
- 11:36perfectionist mindset have you heard of
- 11:38perfectionism mindset there are people
- 11:41who are very reluctant to come out of
- 11:44come out into the world without being
- 11:46perfect okay if they want to show
- 11:47something to the world they want to make
- 11:49sure that it is completely perfect
- 11:51without any mistakes everything is
- 11:53cleared out and only then they will
- 11:54present that outside okay uh for example
- 11:57if you want to do a painting um if
- 11:59you're creating a painting or if you're
- 12:01creating a poem or a story uh or um
- 12:05something like that any drawing or
- 12:06anything like that they will keep on
- 12:08working on it refining it and refining
- 12:10it and they will never get satisfied
- 12:11with it and keep on delaying it okay and
- 12:15finally when it is perfect they will be
- 12:17showing it to the world okay whereas
- 12:19what is Progressive mindset Pro the
- 12:21opposite of uh perfectionism mindset is
- 12:24Progressive mindset the people with
- 12:26Progressive mindset how do they uh do
- 12:29things they will be working on something
- 12:32they will have an idea they will
- 12:33immediately implement it right once the
- 12:35idea is clear in their mind they will
- 12:36implement it it could be a drawing it
- 12:38could be a story it could be a poem and
- 12:40then they show it out okay they are not
- 12:43reluctant to hold on and they show it
- 12:45out maybe in a competition they come out
- 12:47in a competition they participate in a
- 12:48competition and they display their
- 12:50drawing or their poem or story for a
- 12:53competition okay what can happen maybe
- 12:56that is not of very good quality and
- 12:58they can Fe
- 12:59they will not win that competition okay
- 13:02but people with a progressive mindset
- 13:04what will they do they will come back
- 13:06they will take feedback from the people
- 13:08uh they will collect feedback from
- 13:10different sources to understand what is
- 13:12lacking in their creation and they will
- 13:14work on it they will iterate it okay and
- 13:17they will modify it based on the
- 13:19feedback so that the product whatever
- 13:22they have created is becoming better
- 13:24okay and again they will put it up uh in
- 13:26the market or put it up for the show
- 13:28again again based on the feedback
- 13:30they'll keep on refining in an iterative
- 13:33manner okay but what is what do you
- 13:35think do you think a perfectionism
- 13:36mindent mindset is good or a um
- 13:40Progressive mindset is good in
- 13:42general what do you think which is good
- 13:44you can type in the comment which is
- 13:46good okay and what is the problem with
- 13:49having these two mindsets do you see any
- 13:51problem with having these two
- 13:54mindsets yeah I can tell you that uh
- 13:56people with perfectionism mindset
- 13:58usually have a tendency to procrastinate
- 14:01okay either they don't do at all
- 14:02thinking that I cannot do it perfectly
- 14:04if I do it it will not come back come
- 14:06out right um the other person uh has
- 14:10done something very beautifully there
- 14:12are so many wonderful artists around me
- 14:14I may not be able to catch up with them
- 14:16or even compare with them so what they
- 14:18do they don't even start doing anything
- 14:20they may procrastinate it for a long
- 14:23time that is one uh one problem that
- 14:26happens with most of the people who have
- 14:27a perfectionism mindset
- 14:29uh not most of the things that they have
- 14:31those wonderful ideas that they have
- 14:33inside their mind that will never come
- 14:35out okay uh because they will keep on
- 14:38procrastinating and then sometimes it
- 14:39will never happen that opportunity may
- 14:41be lost forever so that's the problem
- 14:43with having a perfectionism mindset okay
- 14:46so these are the different kinds of
- 14:47mindsets that you will see in people so
- 14:49next time onwards as an exercise
- 14:51whenever you see people around you can
- 14:53observe people okay yeah it's a very
- 14:56good exercise to observe people and see
- 14:59uh and uh try to figure out what kind of
- 15:02mindset mindsets that they have okay
- 15:04because mindsets like I said climate
- 15:06it's a general thing okay that mindset
- 15:08will reflect in every area of your of
- 15:11their life uh whether it's uh uh coming
- 15:14for job or in a relationship or in a
- 15:17school wherever it is their mindset will
- 15:20be reflecting in their actions their
- 15:23responses reactions
- 15:25Etc okay then um we discussed about this
- 15:29what are the different kinds of mindsets
- 15:31now let's see what are beliefs okay uh
- 15:34let's take an example of beliefs uh to
- 15:36to help you understand the clear
- 15:38difference between mindset and belief
- 15:40okay uh let's take the example of
- 15:43communication itself when it comes to
- 15:45communication see no one is interested
- 15:47in what I have to say is a belief people
- 15:50hold um which which is specific to
- 15:53communication area right uh so beliefs
- 15:56are specific to certain area areas but
- 15:59that belief is coming from a mindset
- 16:01okay so which mindset is this belief
- 16:04coming from can you guess what the
- 16:06mindset that this belief is coming from
- 16:08whenever I'm asking a question you can
- 16:10pause the video and answer your um give
- 16:12your answer in the comment section okay
- 16:14so no one is interested in what I have
- 16:16to say what is this mindset coming I
- 16:19mean this belief is coming from which
- 16:20mindset is it a positive mindset or a
- 16:23negative mindset that this belief is
- 16:24coming from it's a negative mindset
- 16:27right because it is a NE this belief is
- 16:30it helping that person or um or harming
- 16:33that person to progress it is harming
- 16:35that person right if they believe that
- 16:37nobody is interested in what I have to
- 16:38say then they will not be able to go
- 16:41ahead and communicate with somebody
- 16:43right and then second thing I always
- 16:46mess up under pressure if I am under
- 16:48pressure I'm going to mess up this is a
- 16:50belief that most of the people have okay
- 16:52so what happens they will try to avoid
- 16:54pressure situations they will not take
- 16:56up challenges or they will not uh take
- 16:59up any communication opportunities Under
- 17:01Pressure situations for example if you
- 17:03want to uh go ahead uh immediately for a
- 17:06board meeting okay or you have to be
- 17:08present in front of the leadership team
- 17:10for some meeting um will you be what
- 17:14will be the kind of feeling that you
- 17:15have that's a pressure situation right
- 17:17you are on a short notice you are asked
- 17:19to present something uh that you have
- 17:21done in front of a leadership team a big
- 17:24team powerful team um so what will you
- 17:27feel like okay if you are having this
- 17:29belief inside you I always mess up under
- 17:31pressure that is going to stop you okay
- 17:34and suppose instead of that if you have
- 17:35a belief that uh even Under Pressure I
- 17:38don't uh mess up I am uh the things will
- 17:42flow into mind naturally I have that I'm
- 17:46so lucky that whatever I have to
- 17:48communicate it comes to my mind
- 17:50naturally if that is the belief that you
- 17:52have got then you will not be scared
- 17:54you'll be excited for this opportunity
- 17:57uh you know that something good is is
- 17:58going to come out of come out of it for
- 18:00you and you'll be very excited and
- 18:02inspired to go ahead and take up this
- 18:04opportunity right so one person will see
- 18:06it as an opportunity who is having a
- 18:08positive belief around this area another
- 18:10person who's having a negative belief
- 18:12will be scared of this opportunity okay
- 18:15they are not seeing this as an
- 18:16opportunity but a problem that have come
- 18:18uh on their way okay so this is how the
- 18:21same thing can be seen as different by
- 18:23different people based on their mindset
- 18:25and beliefs okay uh and I have scope to
- 18:29improve this is another belief which
- 18:31will tremendously help a person to
- 18:34pursue whatever they want to pursue
- 18:36because whenever they are failing
- 18:37they're not getting the results as
- 18:38expected their belief is I have scope to
- 18:41improve I'm always improving right so
- 18:43that is a positive belief which is
- 18:45helping you to move forward which is
- 18:47giving you positive feelings okay so
- 18:49these are the different kinds of
- 18:51mindsets and beliefs a person can Harbor
- 18:53in their
- 18:55mind okay and then now we will discuss
- 18:57in detail about fixed uh mindset and
- 19:00growth mindset okay so before going
- 19:02there we discussed so far about mindsets
- 19:04and beliefs and everything uh so let me
- 19:07tell you uh one more example okay I'll
- 19:10stop my screen and tell you one more
- 19:11example to help you understand how are
- 19:15these mindsets beliefs uh are going to
- 19:18affect you okay affect your decisions so
- 19:21imagine okay imagine a very a beautiful
- 19:24Green Parrot you all know parrots you
- 19:27have seen parrots so so imagine a very
- 19:29beautiful Green Parrot but this parrot
- 19:32is caged okay it's in a beautiful cage
- 19:35the cage is also very beautiful but it
- 19:37is always caged it has been caged since
- 19:40it was a baby parrot okay and what gives
- 19:43happiness to this parrot when the house
- 19:45owner or the owner owners or children in
- 19:49the house when they bring a banana and
- 19:51then it gives little pieces of the
- 19:53banana to the parrot the parrot is so
- 19:55happy okay that's its happiness and
- 19:57sometimes the owner uh it opens the cage
- 20:00and it takes out the parrot and pets it
- 20:02right that time also the parrot feels
- 20:04happy so these are the happy moments of
- 20:06the parrots and rest of the time it is
- 20:08in the cage and it is it's normal okay
- 20:12everyday life it's like that uh it's not
- 20:14changing so that's the normal for the
- 20:16parrot okay so now say for this pirate
- 20:21if you keep the cage open you're not
- 20:23closing or locking the cage do you think
- 20:25the parrot will fly far away do you
- 20:28think it will fly what will it do to the
- 20:30maximum maybe it will come out uh
- 20:33because it has the capability of flying
- 20:35that innate potential of flying and
- 20:38exploring that is there in every bird
- 20:40right that is what they were born for so
- 20:43every uh that potential will be there
- 20:45because of that they'll have that innate
- 20:47um feeling or that urge to fly okay so
- 20:51but how far will it go if you leave the
- 20:54cage open it may fly to one p part of
- 20:57the house to maybe a tree nearby the
- 21:00house right and from there it can see
- 21:03what is around it can see its house it
- 21:05can see its cage it can see its people
- 21:08who they're familiar with and the parrot
- 21:10is still comfortable there right now do
- 21:13you think the parrot will go um far
- 21:16further far away where it cannot see
- 21:19these human beings um that this is
- 21:22familiar with it cannot see its home
- 21:24home will it go that far away maybe
- 21:27right because it is getting excited
- 21:29about this flying and freedom it is
- 21:32getting right it may be a little bit
- 21:34more excited and it may want to venture
- 21:36a little bit far but how do you think
- 21:38the parrot will feel inside say it has
- 21:41flown flown a little bit more far where
- 21:43it cannot see the uh its honor or its
- 21:47people its house that it was familiar
- 21:49with how will that parrot feel will it
- 21:51feel scared will it feel excited uh very
- 21:56joyful or will it feel scared about
- 21:58about its surroundings what to expect
- 22:00here uh what is uh how will I eat food
- 22:04and what is the kind of feeling that
- 22:06parent will have okay it will be very
- 22:09scary feeling right uh so its tendency
- 22:12will be to come back soon okay you okay
- 22:15I'll see this around and then come back
- 22:16soon to its cage and be there
- 22:19comfortable right this is because the
- 22:22parot is used to what it is familiar
- 22:25okay it is familiar with an environment
- 22:27when it goes out of its familiarity then
- 22:30it is scared it is becoming
- 22:32uncomfortable it is scared it is fearful
- 22:35and uh anxiety kicks in about uh the
- 22:38unexpected things that can happen it
- 22:40doesn't know uncertainty is there so all
- 22:42these feelings will force that parot to
- 22:45come back to its familiar environment
- 22:47okay this is exactly same with human
- 22:50beings even human brain is attached to
- 22:53familiarity to familiar patterns in our
- 22:56lives and it is very difficult to come
- 22:58out of that familiar pattern and go to a
- 23:00different or become a different person
- 23:03altoe okay so imagine that this parot uh
- 23:06flew again uh far away into a forest now
- 23:10it is inside a forest very thick forest
- 23:13you hear all the sounds of the Crickets
- 23:15and you know the sound of the forest the
- 23:17smell and sound of the for Forest how
- 23:20will it feel in that environment will
- 23:22you will it feel um comfortable but what
- 23:25if the parrot what about parrots which
- 23:27has been growing uh their uh whole life
- 23:30in the forest will that their feeling be
- 23:33same as this parrot which has come from
- 23:35a cage it will not be right and what
- 23:38will take U this parrot to feel
- 23:40comfortable in the forest it will has to
- 23:43it will have to remain there for a
- 23:45longer time it will have to build new
- 23:47skills it will have to build new
- 23:49thoughts and beliefs understand the
- 23:51environment right and then become a new
- 23:55Parrot all togethere new mindset new
- 23:57beliefs about the forest
- 23:59and then it will become comfortable in
- 24:01the new environment then it will start
- 24:03enjoying flying to a fruit tree enjoying
- 24:05the fresh fruits from the tree exploring
- 24:08the greens that they see then leing in a
- 24:10community of other parrots uh right it
- 24:13will feel comfortable and it will start
- 24:14enjoying it from that stage will you
- 24:17think the parrot will ever fly back to
- 24:19that cage in the house to eat that
- 24:21bananas and to be petted by the owner do
- 24:23you think that parrot will ever fly back
- 24:26from uh that comfortable stage in the
- 24:28Forest do you think it will it will not
- 24:31right so that is how you change your
- 24:33mindsets you change your beliefs to
- 24:35become a new person all together which
- 24:38is scary at the beginning it is so scary
- 24:41I'll tell you to become a different
- 24:43person with different new thoughts and
- 24:45beliefs and then once you get
- 24:47comfortable if you persist there if you
- 24:51continue your habits new pattern of
- 24:53thoughts in that area definitely then
- 24:55you will understand that how bad your
- 24:57previous stage was right uh how
- 25:01exploiting that previous stage was how
- 25:03you were actually self-sabotaging
- 25:05yourself so that is how you change
- 25:07yourself okay we'll see in details how
- 25:09you can actually change your uh mindset
- 25:12and beliefs and everything okay so I
- 25:14hope the story of the parrot will also
- 25:17has also helped you to understand uh the
- 25:19mindsets beliefs and the familiarity
- 25:21okay this mindsets and beliefs are our
- 25:23familiarity it comes from our
- 25:24familiarity so all this familiarity is
- 25:27actually putting us in a cage okay where
- 25:29we we don't want to fly away from uh so
- 25:33now I think you have got a pretty much
- 25:34good understanding about mindset and
- 25:38beliefs okay now let me share my screen
- 25:42again um right now let's see uh more
- 25:45about fixed versus growth mindset
- 25:47because this is a mindset which is
- 25:49required um very much required for this
- 25:52course okay um this is particular for
- 25:54this course definitely you need to have
- 25:56a positive mindset you need to have a
- 25:58abundance mindset you need to have a
- 25:59progressive mindset all these are
- 26:01important along with that a growth
- 26:03mindset is very important for you to
- 26:05have in this course and let's see how uh
- 26:08a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset
- 26:10will look like um so a person with a
- 26:14fixed mindset they always hesitate to
- 26:16accept challenges okay uh which means
- 26:19whenever a challenge is thrown to them
- 26:21they will uh back out okay they don't
- 26:24want to take challenges because their
- 26:26General mindset is that I am made like
- 26:28this uh this is what I can do this is
- 26:31what uh I am all about I'm not going to
- 26:34change right there is no use in changing
- 26:37this is how I am this is called fixed
- 26:39mindset and they believe that all your
- 26:41talents your circumstances your
- 26:43situations all are fate right it is upon
- 26:47you you are the victim it is upon you
- 26:50and you cannot change it okay uh this is
- 26:52my talent this is what I have got that's
- 26:53it that is called fixed mindset whereas
- 26:56a growth mindset person will believe
- 26:58that in general their mindset will be um
- 27:01uh anything any skill uh any Talent any
- 27:05and intelligence can be um cultivated
- 27:08can be grown through hard work and
- 27:10persistence and if you put effort in the
- 27:12right direction definitely I'm going to
- 27:14be able to learn anything and acquire
- 27:16anything that I need this is the general
- 27:18mindset of a person having growth
- 27:20mindset so when you have these kind of
- 27:22General mindsets between fixed and
- 27:24growth uh those with fixed mindset will
- 27:27not accept challenges okay whenever
- 27:28challenges challenging situations are
- 27:30thrown to them they will see it as a
- 27:31problem right I I I gave you that
- 27:33example some people will see challenges
- 27:35as a problem some other people will see
- 27:37challenges as an opportunity for growth
- 27:39okay for becoming a better person so
- 27:41that is the difference between first
- 27:43difference between person having a fixed
- 27:44mindset and a growth mindset and then um
- 27:48what about uh their attitude towards
- 27:50rejections criticism kind of thing right
- 27:53so person with a fixed mindset they will
- 27:55usually take rejections and criticisms
- 27:57per personally right U if somebody
- 28:00criticizes them they takes it personally
- 28:02and they'll feel sad about it they will
- 28:03feel frustrated about it they will feel
- 28:05angry about it that's how a person will
- 28:07feel when they hear criticism or
- 28:09somebody rejects them suppose they are
- 28:11applying for a job and they're rejected
- 28:12from the job they will feel um very bad
- 28:15about themselves because I'm bad this is
- 28:17because I'm not good enough that's why I
- 28:19got rejected that's the kind of belief
- 28:21and feeling that they will have when um
- 28:24but what happens to the person um the
- 28:27facing the same situation but having a
- 28:29growth mindset okay so in that case the
- 28:31person uh will feel like um okay I'm
- 28:35rejected today I may have to improve a
- 28:37lot of things uh if required I'll take
- 28:39feedback from them and then I'll work on
- 28:42the areas that I am weak at and which is
- 28:44required for this job or they may feel
- 28:47that okay I'm not suitable for this job
- 28:49this is not my area I may have to figure
- 28:51out an area where I'm really good at and
- 28:53then work on that area and find find
- 28:55jobs in another area so these are all
- 28:57Progressive thoughts that they will have
- 28:59with respect to rejection same thing
- 29:01with with criticism they will be able to
- 29:03understand that some people CR criticize
- 29:05them out of jealousy which they can
- 29:07simply ignore without having to take it
- 29:09personally or without having to feeling
- 29:12uh Angry frustrated or sad about it and
- 29:15some criticism they understand that it
- 29:17comes out of a uh it it may not be
- 29:20criticism it can be critic okay there is
- 29:23a difference between criticism and
- 29:24critic criticism is a negative thing
- 29:26whereas critiquing is a positive thing
- 29:28with the intention of helping that
- 29:30person to understand where they are
- 29:31lagging and help that person to grow so
- 29:34they will be these people with a growth
- 29:35mindset they will be able to understand
- 29:37whether a person is criticizing and if
- 29:39they are criticizing they understand to
- 29:40ignore it and if they are critiquing
- 29:42they understand to take the feedback
- 29:44from that and improve themselves okay so
- 29:46that's a difference between a person
- 29:48having fixed mindset and growth mindset
- 29:49when it comes to um handling rejections
- 29:52and
- 29:53criticisms um so again when these kind
- 29:56of challenges rejections come into their
- 29:57life life people with fixed mindset they
- 29:59give up early okay they give up very
- 30:02quickly they say that okay this is not
- 30:03for me I'm resigning okay maybe in the
- 30:06job in the job section it will be like
- 30:08no this and this is not for me I'm
- 30:10resigning but a person with growth
- 30:11mindset they will persist they will see
- 30:13a long-term perspective they will have a
- 30:15long-term perspective okay right now I'm
- 30:17facing challenges right now I'm facing
- 30:19criticism but I know where I'm going I
- 30:22know what are the things that I have to
- 30:23improve so that I can reach uh in a
- 30:25better place in the long term
- 30:28perspective okay so that's the
- 30:29difference between the perspectives the
- 30:31short-term perspective giving up quickly
- 30:33versus the long-term perspective and
- 30:35persisting for that long-term result
- 30:37okay and um again with all these things
- 30:40people with a growth mindset will always
- 30:42have a willingness to learn they know
- 30:44that uh they are they have to become a
- 30:46better person every day in all areas of
- 30:49their life so they focus on learning
- 30:51okay learning is never a burden for them
- 30:53they will have an interest towards
- 30:54learning they will prioritize learning
- 30:57they know how to prioritize learning
- 30:58with respect to other entertainment so
- 31:01people with a fixed mindset they will be
- 31:03drawn towards entertainment short-term
- 31:06um uh entertainment what you say that
- 31:09dopamine effect right uh that short-term
- 31:11pleasure uh that's what they will be
- 31:13leaning towards more they will not be uh
- 31:15believing in the uh importance of
- 31:17learning uh new things learning new
- 31:20skill and becoming a better person
- 31:22improving and using your potential to
- 31:24the fullest they will not believe in
- 31:25that okay and uh all these people who
- 31:28have fixed mindset they'll be so scared
- 31:29about failure so when you are so scared
- 31:31about failure you'll not even attempt
- 31:33something that you that is challenging
- 31:35for you because you're scared that you
- 31:36will fail you have never done this
- 31:38before this is outside of your comfort
- 31:39zone um so that person will not try
- 31:42anything uh if they are scared of
- 31:44failure whereas the other person uh
- 31:46believes that failure is part of their
- 31:49success today I failed but I have a lot
- 31:52of things to learn from this failure
- 31:54tomorrow I'm going to use those
- 31:55learnings from my learn failure today
- 31:58for my next uh successful progression
- 32:01okay so this is what a fixed mindset
- 32:03person versus a growth mindset person
- 32:05has okay so you need to understand so
- 32:08here you have a um exercise to do uh you
- 32:11need to understand very honestly think
- 32:13about where you belong okay it's not
- 32:16that you will have a completely fixed
- 32:18mindset and completely growth mindset
- 32:20but you will have a general predominant
- 32:23mindset that you see across most of the
- 32:25areas in your life okay it is possible
- 32:27that in some some areas of your life
- 32:29where you're confident and um uh based
- 32:32on your experiences previous experiences
- 32:34there you may have a growth mindset okay
- 32:37but in other areas of your life maybe
- 32:38you have a fixed mindset so in general
- 32:41when you look at your uh General Life
- 32:44aspects where do you stand are you a
- 32:46fixed mindset person or a growth mindset
- 32:49person predominantly okay that is what I
- 32:51need to I need you to analyze very
- 32:53honestly uh ask yourself uh uh think
- 32:56about all these things when when a
- 32:58challenge is coming to you how do you
- 32:59react and respond to it what kind of
- 33:01feelings you get inside you okay uh all
- 33:04these things are help you understand
- 33:06where you stand
- 33:07today okay now let's see how are these
- 33:12mindsets and beliefs formed okay um so
- 33:15we understood now that everybody has
- 33:17different mindsets and beliefs in within
- 33:20them how are these formed in the first
- 33:22place are we born with different
- 33:24mindsets and beliefs if a baby is born
- 33:26at that time does the baby has a growth
- 33:29mindset fixed mindset positive mindset
- 33:31negative mindset or is it formed over a
- 33:33period of time what do you think you can
- 33:36type in the chat uh what do you think
- 33:38about uh how these mindsets and beliefs
- 33:40are formed so when a baby is formed I
- 33:44mean born they are not uh born with
- 33:47fixed with any mindsets and beliefs it
- 33:49is all formed uh through the years of
- 33:52their growth so early experiences is a
- 33:54very important factor so these are the
- 33:56main two factors which will actually
- 33:59influence any person's mindsets and
- 34:01beliefs okay so one is the early
- 34:03experiences your childhood experiences
- 34:05how you were raised and the experiences
- 34:07you had as a child uh will actually
- 34:10determine the general attitude you have
- 34:12towards life okay for example say um as
- 34:16a child you were encouraged whenever you
- 34:19did something okay or you tried
- 34:21something but you made mistakes but
- 34:23still you were encouraged and you were
- 34:25comforted when you were made mistakes
- 34:27and you were encouraged to try again and
- 34:29again so if that was the kind of
- 34:31childhood experience you had then you
- 34:34will become a person you will grow up a
- 34:36person you will have a mindset as a
- 34:38growth mindset because you are you have
- 34:40given you have been given the
- 34:42encouragement and you have been you have
- 34:44developed that attitude of trying again
- 34:46improving again right so that is how
- 34:48your mindset is being ex uh influenced
- 34:51by your early experiences and even
- 34:54emotional experiences very strong
- 34:56emotional experiences can also influence
- 34:59your mindset and beliefs around about
- 35:01you okay I can give you a very personal
- 35:03experience that I had um so um I was in
- 35:08my school days I think um third third
- 35:11standard fourth fifth standard yeah I
- 35:13remember fifth standard so in our
- 35:15schools U there used to be different
- 35:17competition for children right so from
- 35:19first standard to Fourth standard um it
- 35:22was like it's a primary school first
- 35:23standard to Fourth standard so one of
- 35:25the competition is Malayalam and
- 35:28elocution so elocution is like the
- 35:30student or the participant will be given
- 35:32a topic to speak on and you have to come
- 35:34on stage and speak about that topic and
- 35:37um based on that best speaker will be
- 35:39awarded a price so that is a competition
- 35:42called elocution competition so up to
- 35:45from first standard to Fourth standard
- 35:47the students are given topics beforehand
- 35:50okay it's not given on the stage but uh
- 35:52they are given a few days before the
- 35:54competition so that they get enough time
- 35:56to prepare and come for the competition
- 35:58so I used to get this topic and my
- 36:00mother used to prepare me prepare the
- 36:03script and prepare me for the elocution
- 36:06and then when you come on stage you
- 36:07deliver the speech okay and then you go
- 36:10back but when we moved on to Upper
- 36:12primary which is fifth standard uh the
- 36:15uh I again like with from the confidence
- 36:18of previous exp previous years's
- 36:19experience I registered for the elution
- 36:22and um I but this time the the pattern
- 36:27the model in which this was run was
- 36:29different okay the I was given the topic
- 36:32just a few minutes before that you go on
- 36:34to the stage okay so the children are
- 36:36expected to uh prepare a speech within
- 36:39that few minutes have their thoughts and
- 36:41um scripts whatever get ready within
- 36:43that few minutes and then come on stage
- 36:45and deliver the speech that is how the
- 36:48uh model changed when it came to fifth
- 36:50standard okay so I was given a um topic
- 36:53something like talk about your hero or
- 36:56something like that okay so this was the
- 36:58first time I'm I was going through this
- 37:00experience and I felt so scared uh I was
- 37:03not getting any topic or anybody that I
- 37:06could remember in my mind um so I was
- 37:09struggling I was blank suddenly uh the
- 37:11person that I could remember was kumaran
- 37:13asan okay uh I know that there are many
- 37:16other uh famous personalities where
- 37:19children can talk about but I went
- 37:20completely blank and I could only think
- 37:22about Kumar nashan so Kumar nashan is a
- 37:25Malayalam poet very famous Malayalam
- 37:27poet very talented um client Malayalam
- 37:30poet uh but I didn't know anything about
- 37:33this person because I got this name in
- 37:36my mind because in the previous year
- 37:37like third standard or fourth standard I
- 37:40delivered a speech on kumaran nashan
- 37:42which was a prepared scripted speech
- 37:44which my mother uh gave me okay but when
- 37:46it came to this one the name that is
- 37:49lingering in my mind is kumaran nashan
- 37:51but I don't have any points to talk
- 37:52about him okay and now uh but still I
- 37:55didn't back out I came to the in front
- 37:58of the mic in front of the audience in
- 37:59front of the teachers and uh I said the
- 38:03introduction that I'm going to talk
- 38:04about kumaran and then if there was
- 38:06silence okay complete silence I don't
- 38:09know what to say and the judges uh
- 38:12teachers were looking at me like that
- 38:13come on and but I was not I even a
- 38:16single sentence did not come out of me
- 38:18after that introduction section and they
- 38:20said uh you don't know I said no I don't
- 38:22know okay then you can leave and I left
- 38:24okay and I felt so embarrassed okay I
- 38:27was feeling so embarrassed uh I felt
- 38:30like I shouldn't have gone there uh the
- 38:33feeling you that you get right U um that
- 38:36shame and embarrassment and everything
- 38:38right and you came back but I was happy
- 38:40that none of my friends were there it's
- 38:43not in friend of the entire audience but
- 38:45it's a friend of a small group of
- 38:46audience okay inside a classroom kind of
- 38:49environment not the big Auditorium so I
- 38:51was so happy that none of my friends or
- 38:54classmates came to know that uh but what
- 38:56happened is one of my Malayalam teachers
- 38:58was also there uh as a judge or she was
- 39:01there as an audience or judge or
- 39:04something uh uh in she came for taking
- 39:06class inside our classroom and our
- 39:09division uh we were B division okay A B
- 39:12C some divisions were there and the B
- 39:14division fifth standard B division was
- 39:17known for their naughtiness okay
- 39:19notorious class it was a notorious class
- 39:22uh and this teacher one day malam
- 39:24teacher is walking into the class and
- 39:25the class was all talkative and uh
- 39:27throwing things here and there and it
- 39:29was all messy okay and she came in very
- 39:31angry uh what are you doing why are you
- 39:33making so much of noise uh is this a
- 39:36market or a class and all those kind of
- 39:38things right the teacher came in so
- 39:39angry and she was colding left and right
- 39:41everybody uh generally and suddenly she
- 39:44turned out to me and said uh um like uh
- 39:48this is why you are not able to uh
- 39:51deliver good speech when you are asked
- 39:53to do something okay will you were you
- 39:55able to say at least one second one
- 39:57sentence about Kumar nashan when you
- 39:59wanted to say uh that kind of an insult
- 40:02I don't remember the exact words but I
- 40:05exactly remember each and every feeling
- 40:07that I got sitting there and listening
- 40:09to her in front of the class okay it was
- 40:11so difficult it I still remember the
- 40:14feeling I get the feeling even today
- 40:15thinking about it okay uh and that is an
- 40:18emotional response a severe emotional
- 40:21trauma that you're going through but if
- 40:23you think back from this point it is not
- 40:25a big deal right but as a child of 10
- 40:28years experiencing this feeling at that
- 40:31point it was a severe traumatic
- 40:33emotional experience right and this
- 40:35experience is going to inbuild it it
- 40:38will create lot of neuro neuron
- 40:40connections when your in your brain
- 40:42strong neuron Connections in your brain
- 40:44which is actually in building a belief
- 40:46in you you cannot deliver a speech in
- 40:49front of the audience uh in elution okay
- 40:52from that year onwards I never
- 40:55participated in elocution not only in
- 40:56Malayala uh in English also I stopped
- 40:59participating and for the next two years
- 41:01I was so reluctant to participate in any
- 41:04uh literature events which had to be
- 41:06without preparation I did not
- 41:08participate and when it came to 10th
- 41:11standard or 11th standard I got the
- 41:13first courage to go ahead and deliver
- 41:16participate in a English liter literary
- 41:19event so it took me so many years can
- 41:21you imagine how many years I lost from
- 41:23this and I didn't tell anybody like
- 41:25parents or anybody it was Within Me
- 41:28but it stopped me right and um but again
- 41:31till now till date I have never I have
- 41:34not given a malam uh Speech okay even
- 41:37introductory or welcome speech or
- 41:39anything Thanksgiving anything I cannot
- 41:42uh talk uh in Malayalam okay uh but
- 41:44English is okay for me I have come out
- 41:46of that mindset uh for English uh things
- 41:49but not in Malayalam okay so this is how
- 41:52an emotional traumatic experience from
- 41:54your childhood uh it can affect you uh
- 41:57terribly it can inbuild a belief in you
- 42:00which is stopping you from moving
- 42:02forward okay so um that is one way of
- 42:06how you get the mindsets and beliefs
- 42:08that are formed okay um so next other
- 42:12thing uh maybe you also have you can
- 42:13think about reflect about uh so in the
- 42:16previous uh slide I told you to think
- 42:18about where you stand with respect to
- 42:20fixed mindset and growth mindset and you
- 42:21can think about positive negative
- 42:23scarcity abundance all that things right
- 42:25analyze and think where you are okay and
- 42:27then uh another exercise that you can do
- 42:30is reflect on your childhood experiences
- 42:32okay did you have any of these kind of
- 42:34experiences how were your teachers in
- 42:36general with you and for me at least in
- 42:40general the teachers were really good
- 42:42with me they loved me uh so this the
- 42:46Standalone experience did not have a big
- 42:48impact on me otherwise okay but imagine
- 42:51children going through this traumatic
- 42:53experience from the teachers in general
- 42:54from most of the teachers there were
- 42:56students like that in my uh class and I
- 42:59have talked to them recently like one
- 43:00year back I met a girl who used to go
- 43:03through this traumatic experience from
- 43:04all the teachers because she was not
- 43:05good in her studies and uh I understood
- 43:08her um experience so she has come out of
- 43:10it right now now she's a very successful
- 43:12fashion designer and everything uh but
- 43:15uh at that point of time um she she she
- 43:18told me how how it had stopped her from
- 43:20doing lot of things okay so think about
- 43:23your childhood how were you treated at
- 43:25your home you should start from your
- 43:27home um in general how did you um find
- 43:30what were the words that were told to
- 43:32you by your parents your grandparents
- 43:34your uh relatives your aunties uncles
- 43:37when they come to you say suppose you
- 43:38created a drawing and how did they
- 43:40comment on that drawing was it
- 43:41encouraging or was it discouraging where
- 43:43you shamed for not studying or not
- 43:46earning and all these things right think
- 43:48about all your early experiences in
- 43:50childhood okay um and then another thing
- 43:53that will uh highly affect you is the
- 43:56envir onment that you are in okay so the
- 43:58environment keep on changing the first
- 44:00environment that you are exposed to is
- 44:02the home so and then you are exposed to
- 44:04your school these are the two major
- 44:06environments that you are exposed to in
- 44:08your childhood the school and the uh
- 44:11home and then um you are exposed to your
- 44:14other closet family members and then
- 44:17your friends friends family close
- 44:19friends family uh and then comes your um
- 44:23um after school it's your office right
- 44:26uh or if you're going for a job uh that
- 44:28office environment the people around you
- 44:31all these are the environments that can
- 44:33influence your mindsets and beliefs so
- 44:36people human beings has a tendency to
- 44:38align to uh the majority okay whatever
- 44:41is the majority believing that is what
- 44:44human brain has a tendency to align to
- 44:46because it is scared of unfamiliarity it
- 44:48is scared to be alone it has to human
- 44:50beings are meant for social beings being
- 44:53social so they have a tendency to align
- 44:55with the uh thoughts of people around
- 44:58them okay and um so here um in addition
- 45:02to your personal environment there is
- 45:05the culture and society that around that
- 45:08is where you have grown up that has also
- 45:10an influence around you okay so how does
- 45:12the culture and society influence you
- 45:13through movies movies are a strong
- 45:15medium the visual medium is a very
- 45:18strong medium in building your mindsets
- 45:19and beliefs okay uh for example say you
- 45:23have grown up seeing movies which were
- 45:25in which men uh men are casted as so
- 45:29heroic and strong emotionally strong
- 45:32kind of people who are dominating and um
- 45:36so boys who are seeing this and growing
- 45:39up seeing such movies they will believe
- 45:41that this is how they have to be to be
- 45:43accepted in general by the society so
- 45:45they will they will strive for uh
- 45:47becoming that kind of a person all the
- 45:49beliefs and mindsets that they have will
- 45:51be aligned towards those characters that
- 45:54have been portrayed as ideal in the
- 45:56movies okay similarly for uh female
- 45:59characters how are they portrayed in the
- 46:00movies uh these things will actually
- 46:03instill a belief in you about how an
- 46:06ideal wife should be how an ideal
- 46:07daughter should be how an ideal son
- 46:09should be right uh how is parenting to
- 46:12be done all these things are coming from
- 46:14movies as a big influence in a society
- 46:17how your mindsets and beliefs are formed
- 46:20around these Concepts around these
- 46:21social structures okay similarly what
- 46:24books you read okay uh the the media
- 46:27that you take intake so if your content
- 46:30intake and media intake is diverse okay
- 46:33it's not focused on one culture or one
- 46:35from one Society but if it is diverse
- 46:37from different Society from different
- 46:39culture it is uh it is very it will not
- 46:43you will not form such narrow set of
- 46:45mindsets or beliefs you will have a
- 46:47broader perspective okay so this these
- 46:49are the two things which are which will
- 46:52uh which are actually forming the
- 46:54mindsets and beliefs that you have in
- 46:56you and and these mindsets and beliefs
- 46:58that you get can be negative or positive
- 47:00okay based on the uh early experiences
- 47:02and environments so right now um I know
- 47:06all of you are adults and um maybe you
- 47:09are growing so you have these mindsets
- 47:11and beliefs formed already anybody about
- 47:147 years old will have their mindsets and
- 47:16beliefs already formed okay now the next
- 47:19question is can you change your mindsets
- 47:21and beliefs you understood that it took
- 47:23so many years of experiences and years
- 47:26of environmental influence to form these
- 47:28mindsets and beliefs so it's strong
- 47:30neural connection it's not just vague
- 47:33something vague there it is uh physical
- 47:35NE neuron connections that you have in
- 47:37your mind which is actually creating
- 47:39these mindsets and beliefs okay it's a
- 47:41physical thing tangible thing it's not
- 47:43something um intangible okay so how can
- 47:46you change it can you change these
- 47:48mindset blocks and mindsets and beliefs
- 47:51in you the good thing is that you can
- 47:53change it okay and you can change it for
- 47:55good you know that uh these experiences
- 47:58right the the experiences of feelings
- 48:01that you got created a belief in you
- 48:03okay for in the example that I said the
- 48:05feeling of embarrassment the feeling of
- 48:07Shame the feeling of not being good
- 48:10right that created a set of beliefs and
- 48:12neurotic Connections in our mind okay so
- 48:15how can I reverse it you can reverse it
- 48:17by feeling good
- 48:20intentionally okay you bring in the
- 48:22feeling of feeling good you have to
- 48:24intentionally by intentionally telling
- 48:27you that no Dia it is not like that you
- 48:29are really good this is one of a case
- 48:31you don't have to think like that okay
- 48:34that is how you intentionally change
- 48:35your mindset through repetition one or
- 48:38two times you say this to you it doesn't
- 48:39change your belief because it is
- 48:41subconsciously there inside you okay you
- 48:43will get to know that through observing
- 48:45your feelings now let's see how you can
- 48:48change your beliefs first thing is to
- 48:50catch yourself where you stand today
- 48:53okay you have to become aware of your
- 48:55current mindset and you have to aware of
- 48:58your current beliefs around different
- 49:00context um when it comes to
- 49:01communication what are my beliefs when
- 49:03it comes to pursuing art what are my
- 49:05beliefs that I have when it comes to uh
- 49:08moving on to a higher position to a
- 49:09leadership position what are my mindsets
- 49:12and beliefs what is what are the
- 49:13feelings that I'm getting thinking about
- 49:16all these things okay so the first thing
- 49:17is to catch hold of you what are your
- 49:20feelings pay attention to your feelings
- 49:22pay attention how you react to
- 49:24challenges and opportunities what is
- 49:26triggering you sometimes you get
- 49:28triggered right um strong emotions you
- 49:30feel strong emotions like strong
- 49:33happiness um you feel excited eccentric
- 49:36uh sometimes you feel suddenly you feel
- 49:38very sad when somebody tells you
- 49:39something or some situation comes into
- 49:41your way sometimes you feel very angry
- 49:44frustrated irritated these are your
- 49:46triggers these are your emotions so
- 49:48whenever you get that emotion it comes
- 49:50up consciously you you sometimes you may
- 49:52not be able to control how you react but
- 49:54after that you have an option to reflect
- 49:57on it okay um uh so that is where you
- 50:00can catch hold of your beliefs you can
- 50:02think why did I react this what is the
- 50:05thing that is was controlling my
- 50:07reaction controlling my emotion why am I
- 50:09feeling this way in this situation so
- 50:12this is about becoming aware about
- 50:15yourself your self-awareness so self
- 50:18cultivating self-awareness is very
- 50:19important before you can change yourself
- 50:22okay so you need to pay attention to
- 50:23your feelings to your reactions to your
- 50:26resp responses to your triggers okay
- 50:29this is first thing that you have to do
- 50:30catch yourself okay and the second thing
- 50:32that you can do is challenge yourself
- 50:35okay so first you catch yourself right
- 50:38after two to three times you understand
- 50:40okay whenever I am asked to present
- 50:42something in front of my team I am
- 50:44feeling this way okay and you will
- 50:46analyze why am I feeling this way okay
- 50:48so you will understand okay this is
- 50:49these are the fears that I have these
- 50:51are the uh thoughts that I have when I
- 50:53think about it okay then you have to uh
- 50:56challenge yourself with a positive thing
- 50:59so most of the time it will be questions
- 51:01in your mind subconscious questions in
- 51:03your mind so by becoming aware you will
- 51:06understand what are those questions so
- 51:07what if I am not prepared and um I give
- 51:10out some wrong information which is
- 51:12going to create a problem in the future
- 51:14uh when I communicate and what if I
- 51:17forget uh what I have to say if I become
- 51:20blank uh what if I my grammar is not
- 51:22going correct when I'm trying to speak
- 51:24so these may be the questions that you
- 51:26have have in your mind which is creating
- 51:28all those feelings in you and stopping
- 51:30you from taking on that challenge you
- 51:32have to uh change it to your uh best
- 51:35case scenarios yeah what if this turns
- 51:37out to be really good uh at the end okay
- 51:41uh what if they like my presentation
- 51:43what if I they make me a give me another
- 51:45opportunity or something like that okay
- 51:47so change that what if worst case
- 51:49scenario to what if best case scenario
- 51:51okay so that is how you progress catch
- 51:53yourself and then you challenge yourself
- 51:55and then you practice it okay it's not
- 51:57just a onetime activity you have to keep
- 52:00deliberately you have to find and
- 52:01practice New Attitudes that helps you in
- 52:03the long run okay so this is about how
- 52:06you can change your mindset mindsets and
- 52:08beliefs for your good okay uh fine and
- 52:11then um the law of belief so whatever
- 52:14belief that you have right now whatever
- 52:16you believe with feeling and emotion
- 52:18that becomes your reality so your
- 52:20current reality is a reflection of
- 52:22whatever you are believing as about
- 52:24yourself whatever you're believing about
- 52:27the other people and whatever you are
- 52:30believing about our surroundings for
- 52:32example um if you have a belief that um
- 52:37that I'm not a good communicator then
- 52:38you will generally see that you don't
- 52:40get much opportunities in communicating
- 52:42in doing a presentation being on stage
- 52:45so can you imagine being on an
- 52:47international stage like a TED Talk and
- 52:49talking to an audience how do you feel
- 52:51about it do you think you can do that
- 52:53now from your current state will you
- 52:55immediately tomorrow somebody's asking
- 52:57you hey can you come and give a TED Talk
- 53:00um in 2 days will you accept that
- 53:02opportunity or will you reject that
- 53:04opportunity that depends upon your
- 53:06current state right your current state
- 53:08of belief about you as a communicator
- 53:10okay so your whatever you see around you
- 53:12is a reflection of the set of beliefs
- 53:14you have formed in you already and now
- 53:17if you to change it you have to think
- 53:19about the new feelings the new emotions
- 53:21that you want to embody uh feeling of
- 53:24Pride the feeling of uh appreciation
- 53:27somebody appreciates you how does how do
- 53:29you feel you think about those feelings
- 53:31and then you have to say I am a person
- 53:33who is appreciated okay even if it's not
- 53:36your reality currently you have to think
- 53:39and tell yourself that yes I'm a person
- 53:41who is appreciated and feel the feeling
- 53:43of how you will feel when somebody
- 53:45appreciates you think about any time in
- 53:48your life that you were appreciated
- 53:50early uh people were appreciating and
- 53:54congratulating you think about any that
- 53:56and how did you feel at that point of
- 53:57time okay so you have to bring back uh
- 54:00that memories of that good feelings to
- 54:01you and bring that memories multiple
- 54:03times repeatedly so that you become
- 54:06familiar with the new feelings so that
- 54:08then your reality changes uh with
- 54:10situations and circumstances which will
- 54:12give you this new feeling okay uh so we
- 54:15will discuss this um more about all
- 54:18these in the upcoming session so mindset
- 54:20training is not going to end with this
- 54:22session it is a continuous thing that we
- 54:24will have in the entire thing so uh the
- 54:27last thing that I want to tell you today
- 54:28is uh 80% of your results that you're
- 54:31going to get are determined by your
- 54:33mindsets and beliefs that you have so it
- 54:35is very important that you change your
- 54:37mindsets and beliefs you first identify
- 54:39your mindsets and beliefs and then you
- 54:41put in effort to change your mindsets
- 54:43and beliefs and it is completely your
- 54:46responsibility to overcome your mindset
- 54:48blocks and limiting beliefs and uh build
- 54:51new mindset block mindsets and beliefs

- 55:12some time it's not something which will
- 55:13happen overnight okay the first thing is
- 55:15about identifying your current mindset
- 55:17and beliefs and then you see what all
- 55:20needs to be changed and that can be
- 55:21focused on and can be changed uh in a
- 55:24long run okay so that's about uh
- 55:26mindsets and beliefs and another thing
- 55:28that I want to share with you is what
- 55:30you can do as a homework for your um
