  49. 1:57formed how are these mind mindsets how
  50. 1:59are these beliefs formed in us as a
  51. 2:01human being are we born with our
  52. 2:04mindsets and beliefs or is it something
  53. 2:06acquired over the time of our growth
  54. 2:09okay and then finally we will see
  55. 2:11whether this can be changed all of you
  56. 2:13will have your own mindsets and beliefs
  57. 2:15and is it possible to change these
  58. 2:17mindset and beliefs for the good for for
  59. 2:19the good not for the
  60. 2:20bad and before we dive deep into uh
  61. 2:25understanding more about different
  62. 2:26mindsets and beliefs what are mindsets
  63. 2:29and beliefs what is your thought about
  64. 2:31mindsets and beliefs you can comment in
  65. 2:33the comment box when you are watching
  66. 2:35this comment comment below what are the
  67. 2:37different mindsets and beliefs that you
  68. 2:39are aware of can you think about some
  69. 2:41mindsets that you are aware of which
  70. 2:43people may
  71. 2:45have have you heard about positive
  72. 2:47people and negative people or people
  73. 2:49with a positive mindset and a negative
  74. 2:52mindset have you heard about it which is
  75. 2:54very common right and then you might
  76. 2:56have come across these terms like fixed
  77. 2:59mindset and growth mindset have you
  78. 3:01heard about those kind of mindsets and
  79. 3:04then what are
  80. 3:05beliefs do you know what are
  81. 3:07beliefs okay so let's see what are
  82. 3:09mindsets and what are beliefs so
  83. 3:12mindsets are like a set of attitudes
  84. 3:15that um that that you have okay set of
  85. 3:18attitudes that you have which um uh will
  86. 3:21influence how you generally think about
  87. 3:24your world and your place and how it
  88. 3:26shapes and that is what influences your
  89. 3:29uh Behavior or responses and reaction to
  90. 3:31certain situations that is called
  91. 3:33mindset for example positive mindset so
  92. 3:36a person with a positive mindset is like
  93. 3:39um they have a positive attitude in
  94. 3:42every situation in most of the
  95. 3:45situations in their life they have a
  96. 3:46positive attitude where they will look
  97. 3:48for a positivity out of any situation
  98. 3:51even if they are receiving a challenge
  99. 3:53uh if they're going through a
  100. 3:54challenging situation their mind will be
  101. 3:56searching and looking for what could be
  102. 3:59a positive outcome out of this challenge
  103. 4:01that I'm going through currently that is
  104. 4:03called positive mindset okay and this
  105. 4:06mindset will be applicable in every
  106. 4:08situation of this person okay so let's
  107. 4:11imagine this as a climate for a uh place
  108. 4:15okay so if we consider the climate for a
  109. 4:17place you know that generally what we
  110. 4:20can expect in a climate for example we
  111. 4:22all uh most of the people in this course
  112. 4:24are from Kerala so it is having a
  113. 4:27tropical climate Okay if there are
  114. 4:29people people from uh the UK or
  115. 4:32somewhere in the northern hemisphere
  116. 4:33higher up the Northern Hemisphere they
  117. 4:35may be having a different climate all
  118. 4:37together right so that is and when you
  119. 4:40say the climate is tropical you have a
  120. 4:42general understanding about what you can
  121. 4:44expect in that region so everything that
  122. 4:46is happening in that region is uh based
  123. 4:50on the climate in that area okay now
  124. 4:53what is belief belief can be compared to
  125. 4:55the weather in that area okay which is
  126. 4:57more specific right uh so today the
  127. 5:00weather may be very hot summer tomorrow
  128. 5:02the weather may be like rainy right and
  129. 5:05day after tomorrow it could be windy so
  130. 5:08this is these are the beliefs which are
  131. 5:10more specific okay uh and let us give an
  132. 5:13example within the positive mindset what
  133. 5:15could be the beliefs that you have and
  134. 5:17the beliefs are around different
  135. 5:19situations or areas of your life okay uh
  136. 5:22say for example what are the beliefs
  137. 5:24that you have when you think about
  138. 5:26communicating okay how good a
  139. 5:28communicator you are are okay in general
  140. 5:31when you think about your communication
  141. 5:33skills what are your beliefs do you
  142. 5:35believe that oh I always mess up
  143. 5:37whenever I try to communicate something
  144. 5:39to my
  145. 5:42seniors um or another belief could be I
  146. 5:45come out I come across as very silly
  147. 5:47whenever I am in my peer group do you
  148. 5:50these are specific beliefs in this area
  149. 5:52okay another could be like oh I see a
  150. 5:55lot of scope in Improvement in my
  151. 5:57communication skills if I work on the so
  152. 6:00and so things I'm sure I'm going to
  153. 6:02improve my communication skill okay so
  154. 6:05uh what I said at the last are positive
  155. 6:07uh beliefs okay which means it is
  156. 6:10encouraging the person to take positive
  157. 6:12action it is giving a positive emotion
  158. 6:15to the person uh inspiring emotion to
  159. 6:18the person which is a positive emotion
  160. 6:20whereas the other thoughts I always mess
  161. 6:22up whenever I communicate with my higher
  162. 6:25uh management or I come across as silly
  163. 6:28and foolish when I'm talking to my
  164. 6:30friends when I'm in a discussion with my
  165. 6:32friends and peer group these are
  166. 6:34negative mindsets why why it is negative
  167. 6:36mindsets I mean negative beliefs so why
  168. 6:38do you think these are negative beliefs
  169. 6:40these beliefs inside you will actually
  170. 6:43scare you will stop you from engaging in
  171. 6:46that communication right here we are
  172. 6:48talking about communication so to take
  173. 6:50forward a communication the first these
  174. 6:53mindsets which I told now are going to
  175. 6:54stop you or going to make you uh feel
  176. 6:58scared right that's a NE negative thing
  177. 7:00it is actually blocking you so these are
  178. 7:02negative beliefs or it is called
  179. 7:04limiting beliefs those beliefs which are
  180. 7:06stopping you blocking you limiting you
  181. 7:09are called limiting beliefs okay and the
  182. 7:12other set of beliefs uh is like helping
  183. 7:14you encouraging you supporting you to
  184. 7:17take a action towards your goal okay so
  185. 7:20this is how mindsets and beliefs are uh
  186. 7:23in general defined okay I hope now you
  187. 7:26have a um clear understanding about what
  188. 7:30are mindsets and what are beliefs in a
  189. 7:32person okay so we saw about uh positive
  190. 7:36mindset and negative mindset what are
  191. 7:38the other kinds of mindsets that are
  192. 7:40possible for people to Harbor um have
  193. 7:43you heard about scarcity mindset and
  194. 7:46abundance mindset people with scarcity
  195. 7:49mindset are like nothing is enough for
  196. 7:51them okay uh it's like um they feel that
  197. 7:55I'm not loved enough uh I don't get to
  198. 7:58play enough I don't get to uh relax
  199. 8:01enough I never have enough time time is
  200. 8:05limited um our um what do you say our
  201. 8:08capabilities are limited there is a
  202. 8:10limit to what I can do um that these are
  203. 8:13all limiting or like scarcity mindset
  204. 8:16okay there is not enough for everybody
  205. 8:19my knowledge uh is uh limited if I share
  206. 8:23my knowledge I'm not I'm going to lose
  207. 8:25the power uh I have to secure my
  208. 8:27knowledge I should not be sharing it
  209. 8:29with others so this kind of a mindset is
  210. 8:32called scarcity mindset which will help
  211. 8:35you I mean which will harm you and which
  212. 8:37will uh actually make you an insecure
  213. 8:40person okay you will become a very
  214. 8:41insecure person a fearful person that is
  215. 8:45how your emotions will be most generally
  216. 8:48okay and this all happens subconsciously
  217. 8:50you may not realize yourself that you
  218. 8:52are a person with a scarcity mindset
  219. 8:54okay and um what is the opposite of
  220. 8:58scarcity mindset the oppos opposite of
  221. 8:59scarcity mindset is abundance mindset
  222. 9:02okay they will not be scared they will
  223. 9:03not be insecure they're confident in
  224. 9:05whatever they have they they know that
  225. 9:07there is enough and more for everybody
  226. 9:09in this planet okay so that uh they will
  227. 9:12be very um uh very posit wholeheartedly
  228. 9:16sharing their knowledge sharing whatever
  229. 9:18they have uh they will not feel like
  230. 9:19rushing and grabbing something grabbing
  231. 9:22an opportunity out of desperation they
  232. 9:24will be choosy in what they look for
  233. 9:27what they choose uh everything they
  234. 9:29there will be a decision and calmness
  235. 9:31and everything will be there then they
  236. 9:32will not be insecure in Sharing what
  237. 9:35they know with others uh they'll be more
  238. 9:37confident this is the kind of feelings a
  239. 9:40person with a abundance mindset will
  240. 9:42have okay um if you are running a
  241. 9:45business or if you are in a job if
  242. 9:47you're looking for a job uh you can go
  243. 9:49there with a scarcity mindset or an
  244. 9:51abundance mindset if you're going U for
  245. 9:54a job hunting with a scarcity mindset
  246. 9:56what will you do you will be um uh
  247. 9:59grabbing the first opportunity without
  248. 10:01thinking too much every opportunity you
  249. 10:03will be applying with the fear oh my God
  250. 10:06what will I do if I don't get this I
  251. 10:08have to do everything that is possible
  252. 10:10so that I get this job okay you will be
  253. 10:13operating from a fear uh standpoint you
  254. 10:16will not be inspired inside you okay
  255. 10:19that is a feeling that you'll notice
  256. 10:21whereas if you're going there with an
  257. 10:22abundance mindset inside your mind you
  258. 10:25know that if this if not this
  259. 10:26opportunity I'm going to get another
  260. 10:27opportunity there are immense
  261. 10:29opportunities in this world there are
  262. 10:31immense ways of doing job in this world
  263. 10:33this is not the end of the world maybe
  264. 10:35I'm rejected here but something better
  265. 10:37is waiting for me this is called
  266. 10:39abundance mindset okay so when you are
  267. 10:41applying for job from this mindset from
  268. 10:44an abundance mindset you will be in a
  269. 10:46happy State okay uh you will be doing it
  270. 10:49from an inspired State you'll be
  271. 10:51creating your resume you'll be applying
  272. 10:53for different jobs from an inspired
  273. 10:55state of mind so that is the difference
  274. 10:57in emotions that you will feel feel if
  275. 11:00you are coming from a scarcity mindset
  276. 11:02and a abundance mindset okay so I hope
  277. 11:04you understood the difference U
  278. 11:06different mindsets now what other
  279. 11:08mindsets can you think about we we saw
  280. 11:11about positive mindset negative mindset
  281. 11:14um fixed mindset growth mindset then
  282. 11:16scarcity mindset and abundance mindset
  283. 11:19what else uh can you think about can you
  284. 11:21type in the chat when you are watching
  285. 11:22this recording what are the other
  286. 11:24mindsets that you can think about okay
  287. 11:27you can pause the video and type it um
  288. 11:29in the chat when you're are watching
  289. 11:30this video okay and uh the another
  290. 11:34mindset that I can think about is U
  291. 11:36perfectionist mindset have you heard of
  292. 11:38perfectionism mindset there are people
  293. 11:41who are very reluctant to come out of
  294. 11:44come out into the world without being
  295. 11:46perfect okay if they want to show
  296. 11:47something to the world they want to make
  297. 11:49sure that it is completely perfect
  298. 11:51without any mistakes everything is
  299. 11:53cleared out and only then they will
  300. 11:54present that outside okay uh for example
  301. 11:57if you want to do a painting um if
  302. 11:59you're creating a painting or if you're
  303. 12:01creating a poem or a story uh or um
  304. 12:05something like that any drawing or
  305. 12:06anything like that they will keep on
  306. 12:08working on it refining it and refining
  307. 12:10it and they will never get satisfied
  308. 12:11with it and keep on delaying it okay and
  309. 12:15finally when it is perfect they will be
  310. 12:17showing it to the world okay whereas
  311. 12:19what is Progressive mindset Pro the
  312. 12:21opposite of uh perfectionism mindset is
  313. 12:24Progressive mindset the people with
  314. 12:26Progressive mindset how do they uh do
  315. 12:29things they will be working on something
  316. 12:32they will have an idea they will
  317. 12:33immediately implement it right once the
  318. 12:35idea is clear in their mind they will
  319. 12:36implement it it could be a drawing it
  320. 12:38could be a story it could be a poem and
  321. 12:40then they show it out okay they are not
  322. 12:43reluctant to hold on and they show it
  323. 12:45out maybe in a competition they come out
  324. 12:47in a competition they participate in a
  325. 12:48competition and they display their
  326. 12:50drawing or their poem or story for a
  327. 12:53competition okay what can happen maybe
  328. 12:56that is not of very good quality and
  329. 12:58they can Fe
  330. 12:59they will not win that competition okay
  331. 13:02but people with a progressive mindset
  332. 13:04what will they do they will come back
  333. 13:06they will take feedback from the people
  334. 13:08uh they will collect feedback from
  335. 13:10different sources to understand what is
  336. 13:12lacking in their creation and they will
  337. 13:14work on it they will iterate it okay and
  338. 13:17they will modify it based on the
  339. 13:19feedback so that the product whatever
  340. 13:22they have created is becoming better
  341. 13:24okay and again they will put it up uh in
  342. 13:26the market or put it up for the show
  343. 13:28again again based on the feedback
  344. 13:30they'll keep on refining in an iterative
  345. 13:33manner okay but what is what do you
  346. 13:35think do you think a perfectionism
  347. 13:36mindent mindset is good or a um
  348. 13:40Progressive mindset is good in
  349. 13:42general what do you think which is good
  350. 13:44you can type in the comment which is
  351. 13:46good okay and what is the problem with
  352. 13:49having these two mindsets do you see any
  353. 13:51problem with having these two
  354. 13:54mindsets yeah I can tell you that uh
  355. 13:56people with perfectionism mindset
  356. 13:58usually have a tendency to procrastinate
  357. 14:01okay either they don't do at all
  358. 14:02thinking that I cannot do it perfectly
  359. 14:04if I do it it will not come back come
  360. 14:06out right um the other person uh has
  361. 14:10done something very beautifully there
  362. 14:12are so many wonderful artists around me
  363. 14:14I may not be able to catch up with them
  364. 14:16or even compare with them so what they
  365. 14:18do they don't even start doing anything
  366. 14:20they may procrastinate it for a long
  367. 14:23time that is one uh one problem that
  368. 14:26happens with most of the people who have
  369. 14:27a perfectionism mindset
  370. 14:29uh not most of the things that they have
  371. 14:31those wonderful ideas that they have
  372. 14:33inside their mind that will never come
  373. 14:35out okay uh because they will keep on
  374. 14:38procrastinating and then sometimes it
  375. 14:39will never happen that opportunity may
  376. 14:41be lost forever so that's the problem
  377. 14:43with having a perfectionism mindset okay
  378. 14:46so these are the different kinds of
  379. 14:47mindsets that you will see in people so
  380. 14:49next time onwards as an exercise
  381. 14:51whenever you see people around you can
  382. 14:53observe people okay yeah it's a very
  383. 14:56good exercise to observe people and see
  384. 14:59uh and uh try to figure out what kind of
  385. 15:02mindset mindsets that they have okay
  386. 15:04because mindsets like I said climate
  387. 15:06it's a general thing okay that mindset
  388. 15:08will reflect in every area of your of
  389. 15:11their life uh whether it's uh uh coming
  390. 15:14for job or in a relationship or in a
  391. 15:17school wherever it is their mindset will
  392. 15:20be reflecting in their actions their
  393. 15:23responses reactions
  394. 15:25Etc okay then um we discussed about this
  395. 15:29what are the different kinds of mindsets
  396. 15:31now let's see what are beliefs okay uh
  397. 15:34let's take an example of beliefs uh to
  398. 15:36to help you understand the clear
  399. 15:38difference between mindset and belief
  400. 15:40okay uh let's take the example of
  401. 15:43communication itself when it comes to
  402. 15:45communication see no one is interested
  403. 15:47in what I have to say is a belief people
  404. 15:50hold um which which is specific to
  405. 15:53communication area right uh so beliefs
  406. 15:56are specific to certain area areas but
  407. 15:59that belief is coming from a mindset
  408. 16:01okay so which mindset is this belief
  409. 16:04coming from can you guess what the
  410. 16:06mindset that this belief is coming from
  411. 16:08whenever I'm asking a question you can
  412. 16:10pause the video and answer your um give
  413. 16:12your answer in the comment section okay
  414. 16:14so no one is interested in what I have
  415. 16:16to say what is this mindset coming I
  416. 16:19mean this belief is coming from which
  417. 16:20mindset is it a positive mindset or a
  418. 16:23negative mindset that this belief is
  419. 16:24coming from it's a negative mindset
  420. 16:27right because it is a NE this belief is
  421. 16:30it helping that person or um or harming
  422. 16:33that person to progress it is harming
  423. 16:35that person right if they believe that
  424. 16:37nobody is interested in what I have to
  425. 16:38say then they will not be able to go
  426. 16:41ahead and communicate with somebody
  427. 16:43right and then second thing I always
  428. 16:46mess up under pressure if I am under
  429. 16:48pressure I'm going to mess up this is a
  430. 16:50belief that most of the people have okay
  431. 16:52so what happens they will try to avoid
  432. 16:54pressure situations they will not take
  433. 16:56up challenges or they will not uh take
  434. 16:59up any communication opportunities Under
  435. 17:01Pressure situations for example if you
  436. 17:03want to uh go ahead uh immediately for a
  437. 17:06board meeting okay or you have to be
  438. 17:08present in front of the leadership team
  439. 17:10for some meeting um will you be what
  440. 17:14will be the kind of feeling that you
  441. 17:15have that's a pressure situation right
  442. 17:17you are on a short notice you are asked
  443. 17:19to present something uh that you have
  444. 17:21done in front of a leadership team a big
  445. 17:24team powerful team um so what will you
  446. 17:27feel like okay if you are having this
  447. 17:29belief inside you I always mess up under
  448. 17:31pressure that is going to stop you okay
  449. 17:34and suppose instead of that if you have
  450. 17:35a belief that uh even Under Pressure I
  451. 17:38don't uh mess up I am uh the things will
  452. 17:42flow into mind naturally I have that I'm
  453. 17:46so lucky that whatever I have to
  454. 17:48communicate it comes to my mind
  455. 17:50naturally if that is the belief that you
  456. 17:52have got then you will not be scared
  457. 17:54you'll be excited for this opportunity
  458. 17:57uh you know that something good is is
  459. 17:58going to come out of come out of it for
  460. 18:00you and you'll be very excited and
  461. 18:02inspired to go ahead and take up this
  462. 18:04opportunity right so one person will see
  463. 18:06it as an opportunity who is having a
  464. 18:08positive belief around this area another
  465. 18:10person who's having a negative belief
  466. 18:12will be scared of this opportunity okay
  467. 18:15they are not seeing this as an
  468. 18:16opportunity but a problem that have come
  469. 18:18uh on their way okay so this is how the
  470. 18:21same thing can be seen as different by
  471. 18:23different people based on their mindset
  472. 18:25and beliefs okay uh and I have scope to
  473. 18:29improve this is another belief which
  474. 18:31will tremendously help a person to
  475. 18:34pursue whatever they want to pursue
  476. 18:36because whenever they are failing
  477. 18:37they're not getting the results as
  478. 18:38expected their belief is I have scope to
  479. 18:41improve I'm always improving right so
  480. 18:43that is a positive belief which is
  481. 18:45helping you to move forward which is
  482. 18:47giving you positive feelings okay so
  483. 18:49these are the different kinds of
  484. 18:51mindsets and beliefs a person can Harbor
  485. 18:53in their
  486. 18:55mind okay and then now we will discuss
  487. 18:57in detail about fixed uh mindset and
  488. 19:00growth mindset okay so before going
  489. 19:02there we discussed so far about mindsets
  490. 19:04and beliefs and everything uh so let me
  491. 19:07tell you uh one more example okay I'll
  492. 19:10stop my screen and tell you one more
  493. 19:11example to help you understand how are
  494. 19:15these mindsets beliefs uh are going to
  495. 19:18affect you okay affect your decisions so
  496. 19:21imagine okay imagine a very a beautiful
  497. 19:24Green Parrot you all know parrots you
  498. 19:27have seen parrots so so imagine a very
  499. 19:29beautiful Green Parrot but this parrot
  500. 19:32is caged okay it's in a beautiful cage
  501. 19:35the cage is also very beautiful but it
  502. 19:37is always caged it has been caged since
  503. 19:40it was a baby parrot okay and what gives
  504. 19:43happiness to this parrot when the house
  505. 19:45owner or the owner owners or children in
  506. 19:49the house when they bring a banana and
  507. 19:51then it gives little pieces of the
  508. 19:53banana to the parrot the parrot is so
  509. 19:55happy okay that's its happiness and
  510. 19:57sometimes the owner uh it opens the cage
  511. 20:00and it takes out the parrot and pets it
  512. 20:02right that time also the parrot feels
  513. 20:04happy so these are the happy moments of
  514. 20:06the parrots and rest of the time it is
  515. 20:08in the cage and it is it's normal okay
  516. 20:12everyday life it's like that uh it's not
  517. 20:14changing so that's the normal for the
  518. 20:16parrot okay so now say for this pirate
  519. 20:21if you keep the cage open you're not
  520. 20:23closing or locking the cage do you think
  521. 20:25the parrot will fly far away do you
  522. 20:28think it will fly what will it do to the
  523. 20:30maximum maybe it will come out uh
  524. 20:33because it has the capability of flying
  525. 20:35that innate potential of flying and
  526. 20:38exploring that is there in every bird
  527. 20:40right that is what they were born for so
  528. 20:43every uh that potential will be there
  529. 20:45because of that they'll have that innate
  530. 20:47um feeling or that urge to fly okay so
  531. 20:51but how far will it go if you leave the
  532. 20:54cage open it may fly to one p part of
  533. 20:57the house to maybe a tree nearby the
  534. 21:00house right and from there it can see
  535. 21:03what is around it can see its house it
  536. 21:05can see its cage it can see its people
  537. 21:08who they're familiar with and the parrot
  538. 21:10is still comfortable there right now do
  539. 21:13you think the parrot will go um far
  540. 21:16further far away where it cannot see
  541. 21:19these human beings um that this is
  542. 21:22familiar with it cannot see its home
  543. 21:24home will it go that far away maybe
  544. 21:27right because it is getting excited
  545. 21:29about this flying and freedom it is
  546. 21:32getting right it may be a little bit
  547. 21:34more excited and it may want to venture
  548. 21:36a little bit far but how do you think
  549. 21:38the parrot will feel inside say it has
  550. 21:41flown flown a little bit more far where
  551. 21:43it cannot see the uh its honor or its
  552. 21:47people its house that it was familiar
  553. 21:49with how will that parrot feel will it
  554. 21:51feel scared will it feel excited uh very
  555. 21:56joyful or will it feel scared about
  556. 21:58about its surroundings what to expect
  557. 22:00here uh what is uh how will I eat food
  558. 22:04and what is the kind of feeling that
  559. 22:06parent will have okay it will be very
  560. 22:09scary feeling right uh so its tendency
  561. 22:12will be to come back soon okay you okay
  562. 22:15I'll see this around and then come back
  563. 22:16soon to its cage and be there
  564. 22:19comfortable right this is because the
  565. 22:22parot is used to what it is familiar
  566. 22:25okay it is familiar with an environment
  567. 22:27when it goes out of its familiarity then
  568. 22:30it is scared it is becoming
  569. 22:32uncomfortable it is scared it is fearful
  570. 22:35and uh anxiety kicks in about uh the
  571. 22:38unexpected things that can happen it
  572. 22:40doesn't know uncertainty is there so all
  573. 22:42these feelings will force that parot to
  574. 22:45come back to its familiar environment
  575. 22:47okay this is exactly same with human
  576. 22:50beings even human brain is attached to
  577. 22:53familiarity to familiar patterns in our
  578. 22:56lives and it is very difficult to come
  579. 22:58out of that familiar pattern and go to a
  580. 23:00different or become a different person
  581. 23:03altoe okay so imagine that this parot uh
  582. 23:06flew again uh far away into a forest now
  583. 23:10it is inside a forest very thick forest
  584. 23:13you hear all the sounds of the Crickets
  585. 23:15and you know the sound of the forest the
  586. 23:17smell and sound of the for Forest how
  587. 23:20will it feel in that environment will
  588. 23:22you will it feel um comfortable but what
  589. 23:25if the parrot what about parrots which
  590. 23:27has been growing uh their uh whole life
  591. 23:30in the forest will that their feeling be
  592. 23:33same as this parrot which has come from
  593. 23:35a cage it will not be right and what
  594. 23:38will take U this parrot to feel
  595. 23:40comfortable in the forest it will has to
  596. 23:43it will have to remain there for a
  597. 23:45longer time it will have to build new
  598. 23:47skills it will have to build new
  599. 23:49thoughts and beliefs understand the
  600. 23:51environment right and then become a new
  601. 23:55Parrot all togethere new mindset new
  602. 23:57beliefs about the forest
  603. 23:59and then it will become comfortable in
  604. 24:01the new environment then it will start
  605. 24:03enjoying flying to a fruit tree enjoying
  606. 24:05the fresh fruits from the tree exploring
  607. 24:08the greens that they see then leing in a
  608. 24:10community of other parrots uh right it
  609. 24:13will feel comfortable and it will start
  610. 24:14enjoying it from that stage will you
  611. 24:17think the parrot will ever fly back to
  612. 24:19that cage in the house to eat that
  613. 24:21bananas and to be petted by the owner do
  614. 24:23you think that parrot will ever fly back
  615. 24:26from uh that comfortable stage in the
  616. 24:28Forest do you think it will it will not
  617. 24:31right so that is how you change your
  618. 24:33mindsets you change your beliefs to
  619. 24:35become a new person all together which
  620. 24:38is scary at the beginning it is so scary
  621. 24:41I'll tell you to become a different
  622. 24:43person with different new thoughts and
  623. 24:45beliefs and then once you get
  624. 24:47comfortable if you persist there if you
  625. 24:51continue your habits new pattern of
  626. 24:53thoughts in that area definitely then
  627. 24:55you will understand that how bad your
  628. 24:57previous stage was right uh how
  629. 25:01exploiting that previous stage was how
  630. 25:03you were actually self-sabotaging
  631. 25:05yourself so that is how you change
  632. 25:07yourself okay we'll see in details how
  633. 25:09you can actually change your uh mindset
  634. 25:12and beliefs and everything okay so I
  635. 25:14hope the story of the parrot will also
  636. 25:17has also helped you to understand uh the
  637. 25:19mindsets beliefs and the familiarity
  638. 25:21okay this mindsets and beliefs are our
  639. 25:23familiarity it comes from our
  640. 25:24familiarity so all this familiarity is
  641. 25:27actually putting us in a cage okay where
  642. 25:29we we don't want to fly away from uh so
  643. 25:33now I think you have got a pretty much
  644. 25:34good understanding about mindset and
  645. 25:38beliefs okay now let me share my screen
  646. 25:42again um right now let's see uh more
  647. 25:45about fixed versus growth mindset
  648. 25:47because this is a mindset which is
  649. 25:49required um very much required for this
  650. 25:52course okay um this is particular for
  651. 25:54this course definitely you need to have
  652. 25:56a positive mindset you need to have a
  653. 25:58abundance mindset you need to have a
  654. 25:59progressive mindset all these are
  655. 26:01important along with that a growth
  656. 26:03mindset is very important for you to
  657. 26:05have in this course and let's see how uh
  658. 26:08a fixed mindset versus a growth mindset
  659. 26:10will look like um so a person with a
  660. 26:14fixed mindset they always hesitate to
  661. 26:16accept challenges okay uh which means
  662. 26:19whenever a challenge is thrown to them
  663. 26:21they will uh back out okay they don't
  664. 26:24want to take challenges because their
  665. 26:26General mindset is that I am made like
  666. 26:28this uh this is what I can do this is
  667. 26:31what uh I am all about I'm not going to
  668. 26:34change right there is no use in changing
  669. 26:37this is how I am this is called fixed
  670. 26:39mindset and they believe that all your
  671. 26:41talents your circumstances your
  672. 26:43situations all are fate right it is upon
  673. 26:47you you are the victim it is upon you
  674. 26:50and you cannot change it okay uh this is
  675. 26:52my talent this is what I have got that's
  676. 26:53it that is called fixed mindset whereas
  677. 26:56a growth mindset person will believe
  678. 26:58that in general their mindset will be um
  679. 27:01uh anything any skill uh any Talent any
  680. 27:05and intelligence can be um cultivated
  681. 27:08can be grown through hard work and
  682. 27:10persistence and if you put effort in the
  683. 27:12right direction definitely I'm going to
  684. 27:14be able to learn anything and acquire
  685. 27:16anything that I need this is the general
  686. 27:18mindset of a person having growth
  687. 27:20mindset so when you have these kind of
  688. 27:22General mindsets between fixed and
  689. 27:24growth uh those with fixed mindset will
  690. 27:27not accept challenges okay whenever
  691. 27:28challenges challenging situations are
  692. 27:30thrown to them they will see it as a
  693. 27:31problem right I I I gave you that
  694. 27:33example some people will see challenges
  695. 27:35as a problem some other people will see
  696. 27:37challenges as an opportunity for growth
  697. 27:39okay for becoming a better person so
  698. 27:41that is the difference between first
  699. 27:43difference between person having a fixed
  700. 27:44mindset and a growth mindset and then um
  701. 27:48what about uh their attitude towards
  702. 27:50rejections criticism kind of thing right
  703. 27:53so person with a fixed mindset they will
  704. 27:55usually take rejections and criticisms
  705. 27:57per personally right U if somebody
  706. 28:00criticizes them they takes it personally
  707. 28:02and they'll feel sad about it they will
  708. 28:03feel frustrated about it they will feel
  709. 28:05angry about it that's how a person will
  710. 28:07feel when they hear criticism or
  711. 28:09somebody rejects them suppose they are
  712. 28:11applying for a job and they're rejected
  713. 28:12from the job they will feel um very bad
  714. 28:15about themselves because I'm bad this is
  715. 28:17because I'm not good enough that's why I
  716. 28:19got rejected that's the kind of belief
  717. 28:21and feeling that they will have when um
  718. 28:24but what happens to the person um the
  719. 28:27facing the same situation but having a
  720. 28:29growth mindset okay so in that case the
  721. 28:31person uh will feel like um okay I'm
  722. 28:35rejected today I may have to improve a
  723. 28:37lot of things uh if required I'll take
  724. 28:39feedback from them and then I'll work on
  725. 28:42the areas that I am weak at and which is
  726. 28:44required for this job or they may feel
  727. 28:47that okay I'm not suitable for this job
  728. 28:49this is not my area I may have to figure
  729. 28:51out an area where I'm really good at and
  730. 28:53then work on that area and find find
  731. 28:55jobs in another area so these are all
  732. 28:57Progressive thoughts that they will have
  733. 28:59with respect to rejection same thing
  734. 29:01with with criticism they will be able to
  735. 29:03understand that some people CR criticize
  736. 29:05them out of jealousy which they can
  737. 29:07simply ignore without having to take it
  738. 29:09personally or without having to feeling
  739. 29:12uh Angry frustrated or sad about it and
  740. 29:15some criticism they understand that it
  741. 29:17comes out of a uh it it may not be
  742. 29:20criticism it can be critic okay there is
  743. 29:23a difference between criticism and
  744. 29:24critic criticism is a negative thing
  745. 29:26whereas critiquing is a positive thing
  746. 29:28with the intention of helping that
  747. 29:30person to understand where they are
  748. 29:31lagging and help that person to grow so
  749. 29:34they will be these people with a growth
  750. 29:35mindset they will be able to understand
  751. 29:37whether a person is criticizing and if
  752. 29:39they are criticizing they understand to
  753. 29:40ignore it and if they are critiquing
  754. 29:42they understand to take the feedback
  755. 29:44from that and improve themselves okay so
  756. 29:46that's a difference between a person
  757. 29:48having fixed mindset and growth mindset
  758. 29:49when it comes to um handling rejections
  759. 29:52and
  760. 29:53criticisms um so again when these kind
  761. 29:56of challenges rejections come into their
  762. 29:57life life people with fixed mindset they
  763. 29:59give up early okay they give up very
  764. 30:02quickly they say that okay this is not
  765. 30:03for me I'm resigning okay maybe in the
  766. 30:06job in the job section it will be like
  767. 30:08no this and this is not for me I'm
  768. 30:10resigning but a person with growth
  769. 30:11mindset they will persist they will see
  770. 30:13a long-term perspective they will have a
  771. 30:15long-term perspective okay right now I'm
  772. 30:17facing challenges right now I'm facing
  773. 30:19criticism but I know where I'm going I
  774. 30:22know what are the things that I have to
  775. 30:23improve so that I can reach uh in a
  776. 30:25better place in the long term
  777. 30:28perspective okay so that's the
  778. 30:29difference between the perspectives the
  779. 30:31short-term perspective giving up quickly
  780. 30:33versus the long-term perspective and
  781. 30:35persisting for that long-term result
  782. 30:37okay and um again with all these things
  783. 30:40people with a growth mindset will always
  784. 30:42have a willingness to learn they know
  785. 30:44that uh they are they have to become a
  786. 30:46better person every day in all areas of
  787. 30:49their life so they focus on learning
  788. 30:51okay learning is never a burden for them
  789. 30:53they will have an interest towards
  790. 30:54learning they will prioritize learning
  791. 30:57they know how to prioritize learning
  792. 30:58with respect to other entertainment so
  793. 31:01people with a fixed mindset they will be
  794. 31:03drawn towards entertainment short-term
  795. 31:06um uh entertainment what you say that
  796. 31:09dopamine effect right uh that short-term
  797. 31:11pleasure uh that's what they will be
  798. 31:13leaning towards more they will not be uh
  799. 31:15believing in the uh importance of
  800. 31:17learning uh new things learning new
  801. 31:20skill and becoming a better person
  802. 31:22improving and using your potential to
  803. 31:24the fullest they will not believe in
  804. 31:25that okay and uh all these people who
  805. 31:28have fixed mindset they'll be so scared
  806. 31:29about failure so when you are so scared
  807. 31:31about failure you'll not even attempt
  808. 31:33something that you that is challenging
  809. 31:35for you because you're scared that you
  810. 31:36will fail you have never done this
  811. 31:38before this is outside of your comfort
  812. 31:39zone um so that person will not try
  813. 31:42anything uh if they are scared of
  814. 31:44failure whereas the other person uh
  815. 31:46believes that failure is part of their
  816. 31:49success today I failed but I have a lot
  817. 31:52of things to learn from this failure
  818. 31:54tomorrow I'm going to use those
  819. 31:55learnings from my learn failure today
  820. 31:58for my next uh successful progression
  821. 32:01okay so this is what a fixed mindset
  822. 32:03person versus a growth mindset person
  823. 32:05has okay so you need to understand so
  824. 32:08here you have a um exercise to do uh you
  825. 32:11need to understand very honestly think
  826. 32:13about where you belong okay it's not
  827. 32:16that you will have a completely fixed
  828. 32:18mindset and completely growth mindset
  829. 32:20but you will have a general predominant
  830. 32:23mindset that you see across most of the
  831. 32:25areas in your life okay it is possible
  832. 32:27that in some some areas of your life
  833. 32:29where you're confident and um uh based
  834. 32:32on your experiences previous experiences
  835. 32:34there you may have a growth mindset okay
  836. 32:37but in other areas of your life maybe
  837. 32:38you have a fixed mindset so in general
  838. 32:41when you look at your uh General Life
  839. 32:44aspects where do you stand are you a
  840. 32:46fixed mindset person or a growth mindset
  841. 32:49person predominantly okay that is what I
  842. 32:51need to I need you to analyze very
  843. 32:53honestly uh ask yourself uh uh think
  844. 32:56about all these things when when a
  845. 32:58challenge is coming to you how do you
  846. 32:59react and respond to it what kind of
  847. 33:01feelings you get inside you okay uh all
  848. 33:04these things are help you understand
  849. 33:06where you stand
  850. 33:07today okay now let's see how are these
  851. 33:12mindsets and beliefs formed okay um so
  852. 33:15we understood now that everybody has
  853. 33:17different mindsets and beliefs in within
  854. 33:20them how are these formed in the first
  855. 33:22place are we born with different
  856. 33:24mindsets and beliefs if a baby is born
  857. 33:26at that time does the baby has a growth
  858. 33:29mindset fixed mindset positive mindset
  859. 33:31negative mindset or is it formed over a
  860. 33:33period of time what do you think you can
  861. 33:36type in the chat uh what do you think
  862. 33:38about uh how these mindsets and beliefs
  863. 33:40are formed so when a baby is formed I
  864. 33:44mean born they are not uh born with
  865. 33:47fixed with any mindsets and beliefs it
  866. 33:49is all formed uh through the years of
  867. 33:52their growth so early experiences is a
  868. 33:54very important factor so these are the
  869. 33:56main two factors which will actually
  870. 33:59influence any person's mindsets and
  871. 34:01beliefs okay so one is the early
  872. 34:03experiences your childhood experiences
  873. 34:05how you were raised and the experiences
  874. 34:07you had as a child uh will actually
  875. 34:10determine the general attitude you have
  876. 34:12towards life okay for example say um as
  877. 34:16a child you were encouraged whenever you
  878. 34:19did something okay or you tried
  879. 34:21something but you made mistakes but
  880. 34:23still you were encouraged and you were
  881. 34:25comforted when you were made mistakes
  882. 34:27and you were encouraged to try again and
  883. 34:29again so if that was the kind of
  884. 34:31childhood experience you had then you
  885. 34:34will become a person you will grow up a
  886. 34:36person you will have a mindset as a
  887. 34:38growth mindset because you are you have
  888. 34:40given you have been given the
  889. 34:42encouragement and you have been you have
  890. 34:44developed that attitude of trying again
  891. 34:46improving again right so that is how
  892. 34:48your mindset is being ex uh influenced
  893. 34:51by your early experiences and even
  894. 34:54emotional experiences very strong
  895. 34:56emotional experiences can also influence
  896. 34:59your mindset and beliefs around about
  897. 35:01you okay I can give you a very personal
  898. 35:03experience that I had um so um I was in
  899. 35:08my school days I think um third third
  900. 35:11standard fourth fifth standard yeah I
  901. 35:13remember fifth standard so in our
  902. 35:15schools U there used to be different
  903. 35:17competition for children right so from
  904. 35:19first standard to Fourth standard um it
  905. 35:22was like it's a primary school first
  906. 35:23standard to Fourth standard so one of
  907. 35:25the competition is Malayalam and
  908. 35:28elocution so elocution is like the
  909. 35:30student or the participant will be given
  910. 35:32a topic to speak on and you have to come
  911. 35:34on stage and speak about that topic and
  912. 35:37um based on that best speaker will be
  913. 35:39awarded a price so that is a competition
  914. 35:42called elocution competition so up to
  915. 35:45from first standard to Fourth standard
  916. 35:47the students are given topics beforehand
  917. 35:50okay it's not given on the stage but uh
  918. 35:52they are given a few days before the
  919. 35:54competition so that they get enough time
  920. 35:56to prepare and come for the competition
  921. 35:58so I used to get this topic and my
  922. 36:00mother used to prepare me prepare the
  923. 36:03script and prepare me for the elocution
  924. 36:06and then when you come on stage you
  925. 36:07deliver the speech okay and then you go
  926. 36:10back but when we moved on to Upper
  927. 36:12primary which is fifth standard uh the
  928. 36:15uh I again like with from the confidence
  929. 36:18of previous exp previous years's
  930. 36:19experience I registered for the elution
  931. 36:22and um I but this time the the pattern
  932. 36:27the model in which this was run was
  933. 36:29different okay the I was given the topic
  934. 36:32just a few minutes before that you go on
  935. 36:34to the stage okay so the children are
  936. 36:36expected to uh prepare a speech within
  937. 36:39that few minutes have their thoughts and
  938. 36:41um scripts whatever get ready within
  939. 36:43that few minutes and then come on stage
  940. 36:45and deliver the speech that is how the
  941. 36:48uh model changed when it came to fifth
  942. 36:50standard okay so I was given a um topic
  943. 36:53something like talk about your hero or
  944. 36:56something like that okay so this was the
  945. 36:58first time I'm I was going through this
  946. 37:00experience and I felt so scared uh I was
  947. 37:03not getting any topic or anybody that I
  948. 37:06could remember in my mind um so I was
  949. 37:09struggling I was blank suddenly uh the
  950. 37:11person that I could remember was kumaran
  951. 37:13asan okay uh I know that there are many
  952. 37:16other uh famous personalities where
  953. 37:19children can talk about but I went
  954. 37:20completely blank and I could only think
  955. 37:22about Kumar nashan so Kumar nashan is a
  956. 37:25Malayalam poet very famous Malayalam
  957. 37:27poet very talented um client Malayalam
  958. 37:30poet uh but I didn't know anything about
  959. 37:33this person because I got this name in
  960. 37:36my mind because in the previous year
  961. 37:37like third standard or fourth standard I
  962. 37:40delivered a speech on kumaran nashan
  963. 37:42which was a prepared scripted speech
  964. 37:44which my mother uh gave me okay but when
  965. 37:46it came to this one the name that is
  966. 37:49lingering in my mind is kumaran nashan
  967. 37:51but I don't have any points to talk
  968. 37:52about him okay and now uh but still I
  969. 37:55didn't back out I came to the in front
  970. 37:58of the mic in front of the audience in
  971. 37:59front of the teachers and uh I said the
  972. 38:03introduction that I'm going to talk
  973. 38:04about kumaran and then if there was
  974. 38:06silence okay complete silence I don't
  975. 38:09know what to say and the judges uh
  976. 38:12teachers were looking at me like that
  977. 38:13come on and but I was not I even a
  978. 38:16single sentence did not come out of me
  979. 38:18after that introduction section and they
  980. 38:20said uh you don't know I said no I don't
  981. 38:22know okay then you can leave and I left
  982. 38:24okay and I felt so embarrassed okay I
  983. 38:27was feeling so embarrassed uh I felt
  984. 38:30like I shouldn't have gone there uh the
  985. 38:33feeling you that you get right U um that
  986. 38:36shame and embarrassment and everything
  987. 38:38right and you came back but I was happy
  988. 38:40that none of my friends were there it's
  989. 38:43not in friend of the entire audience but
  990. 38:45it's a friend of a small group of
  991. 38:46audience okay inside a classroom kind of
  992. 38:49environment not the big Auditorium so I
  993. 38:51was so happy that none of my friends or
  994. 38:54classmates came to know that uh but what
  995. 38:56happened is one of my Malayalam teachers
  996. 38:58was also there uh as a judge or she was
  997. 39:01there as an audience or judge or
  998. 39:04something uh uh in she came for taking
  999. 39:06class inside our classroom and our
  1000. 39:09division uh we were B division okay A B
  1001. 39:12C some divisions were there and the B
  1002. 39:14division fifth standard B division was
  1003. 39:17known for their naughtiness okay
  1004. 39:19notorious class it was a notorious class
  1005. 39:22uh and this teacher one day malam
  1006. 39:24teacher is walking into the class and
  1007. 39:25the class was all talkative and uh
  1008. 39:27throwing things here and there and it
  1009. 39:29was all messy okay and she came in very
  1010. 39:31angry uh what are you doing why are you
  1011. 39:33making so much of noise uh is this a
  1012. 39:36market or a class and all those kind of
  1013. 39:38things right the teacher came in so
  1014. 39:39angry and she was colding left and right
  1015. 39:41everybody uh generally and suddenly she
  1016. 39:44turned out to me and said uh um like uh
  1017. 39:48this is why you are not able to uh
  1018. 39:51deliver good speech when you are asked
  1019. 39:53to do something okay will you were you
  1020. 39:55able to say at least one second one
  1021. 39:57sentence about Kumar nashan when you
  1022. 39:59wanted to say uh that kind of an insult
  1023. 40:02I don't remember the exact words but I
  1024. 40:05exactly remember each and every feeling
  1025. 40:07that I got sitting there and listening
  1026. 40:09to her in front of the class okay it was
  1027. 40:11so difficult it I still remember the
  1028. 40:14feeling I get the feeling even today
  1029. 40:15thinking about it okay uh and that is an
  1030. 40:18emotional response a severe emotional
  1031. 40:21trauma that you're going through but if
  1032. 40:23you think back from this point it is not
  1033. 40:25a big deal right but as a child of 10
  1034. 40:28years experiencing this feeling at that
  1035. 40:31point it was a severe traumatic
  1036. 40:33emotional experience right and this
  1037. 40:35experience is going to inbuild it it
  1038. 40:38will create lot of neuro neuron
  1039. 40:40connections when your in your brain
  1040. 40:42strong neuron Connections in your brain
  1041. 40:44which is actually in building a belief
  1042. 40:46in you you cannot deliver a speech in
  1043. 40:49front of the audience uh in elution okay
  1044. 40:52from that year onwards I never
  1045. 40:55participated in elocution not only in
  1046. 40:56Malayala uh in English also I stopped
  1047. 40:59participating and for the next two years
  1048. 41:01I was so reluctant to participate in any
  1049. 41:04uh literature events which had to be
  1050. 41:06without preparation I did not
  1051. 41:08participate and when it came to 10th
  1052. 41:11standard or 11th standard I got the
  1053. 41:13first courage to go ahead and deliver
  1054. 41:16participate in a English liter literary
  1055. 41:19event so it took me so many years can
  1056. 41:21you imagine how many years I lost from
  1057. 41:23this and I didn't tell anybody like
  1058. 41:25parents or anybody it was Within Me
  1059. 41:28but it stopped me right and um but again
  1060. 41:31till now till date I have never I have
  1061. 41:34not given a malam uh Speech okay even
  1062. 41:37introductory or welcome speech or
  1063. 41:39anything Thanksgiving anything I cannot
  1064. 41:42uh talk uh in Malayalam okay uh but
  1065. 41:44English is okay for me I have come out
  1066. 41:46of that mindset uh for English uh things
  1067. 41:49but not in Malayalam okay so this is how
  1068. 41:52an emotional traumatic experience from
  1069. 41:54your childhood uh it can affect you uh
  1070. 41:57terribly it can inbuild a belief in you
  1071. 42:00which is stopping you from moving
  1072. 42:02forward okay so um that is one way of
  1073. 42:06how you get the mindsets and beliefs
  1074. 42:08that are formed okay um so next other
  1075. 42:12thing uh maybe you also have you can
  1076. 42:13think about reflect about uh so in the
  1077. 42:16previous uh slide I told you to think
  1078. 42:18about where you stand with respect to
  1079. 42:20fixed mindset and growth mindset and you
  1080. 42:21can think about positive negative
  1081. 42:23scarcity abundance all that things right
  1082. 42:25analyze and think where you are okay and
  1083. 42:27then uh another exercise that you can do
  1084. 42:30is reflect on your childhood experiences
  1085. 42:32okay did you have any of these kind of
  1086. 42:34experiences how were your teachers in
  1087. 42:36general with you and for me at least in
  1088. 42:40general the teachers were really good
  1089. 42:42with me they loved me uh so this the
  1090. 42:46Standalone experience did not have a big
  1091. 42:48impact on me otherwise okay but imagine
  1092. 42:51children going through this traumatic
  1093. 42:53experience from the teachers in general
  1094. 42:54from most of the teachers there were
  1095. 42:56students like that in my uh class and I
  1096. 42:59have talked to them recently like one
  1097. 43:00year back I met a girl who used to go
  1098. 43:03through this traumatic experience from
  1099. 43:04all the teachers because she was not
  1100. 43:05good in her studies and uh I understood
  1101. 43:08her um experience so she has come out of
  1102. 43:10it right now now she's a very successful
  1103. 43:12fashion designer and everything uh but
  1104. 43:15uh at that point of time um she she she
  1105. 43:18told me how how it had stopped her from
  1106. 43:20doing lot of things okay so think about
  1107. 43:23your childhood how were you treated at
  1108. 43:25your home you should start from your
  1109. 43:27home um in general how did you um find
  1110. 43:30what were the words that were told to
  1111. 43:32you by your parents your grandparents
  1112. 43:34your uh relatives your aunties uncles
  1113. 43:37when they come to you say suppose you
  1114. 43:38created a drawing and how did they
  1115. 43:40comment on that drawing was it
  1116. 43:41encouraging or was it discouraging where
  1117. 43:43you shamed for not studying or not
  1118. 43:46earning and all these things right think
  1119. 43:48about all your early experiences in
  1120. 43:50childhood okay um and then another thing
  1121. 43:53that will uh highly affect you is the
  1122. 43:56envir onment that you are in okay so the
  1123. 43:58environment keep on changing the first
  1124. 44:00environment that you are exposed to is
  1125. 44:02the home so and then you are exposed to
  1126. 44:04your school these are the two major
  1127. 44:06environments that you are exposed to in
  1128. 44:08your childhood the school and the uh
  1129. 44:11home and then um you are exposed to your
  1130. 44:14other closet family members and then
  1131. 44:17your friends friends family close
  1132. 44:19friends family uh and then comes your um
  1133. 44:23um after school it's your office right
  1134. 44:26uh or if you're going for a job uh that
  1135. 44:28office environment the people around you
  1136. 44:31all these are the environments that can
  1137. 44:33influence your mindsets and beliefs so
  1138. 44:36people human beings has a tendency to
  1139. 44:38align to uh the majority okay whatever
  1140. 44:41is the majority believing that is what
  1141. 44:44human brain has a tendency to align to
  1142. 44:46because it is scared of unfamiliarity it
  1143. 44:48is scared to be alone it has to human
  1144. 44:50beings are meant for social beings being
  1145. 44:53social so they have a tendency to align
  1146. 44:55with the uh thoughts of people around
  1147. 44:58them okay and um so here um in addition
  1148. 45:02to your personal environment there is
  1149. 45:05the culture and society that around that
  1150. 45:08is where you have grown up that has also
  1151. 45:10an influence around you okay so how does
  1152. 45:12the culture and society influence you
  1153. 45:13through movies movies are a strong
  1154. 45:15medium the visual medium is a very
  1155. 45:18strong medium in building your mindsets
  1156. 45:19and beliefs okay uh for example say you
  1157. 45:23have grown up seeing movies which were
  1158. 45:25in which men uh men are casted as so
  1159. 45:29heroic and strong emotionally strong
  1160. 45:32kind of people who are dominating and um
  1161. 45:36so boys who are seeing this and growing
  1162. 45:39up seeing such movies they will believe
  1163. 45:41that this is how they have to be to be
  1164. 45:43accepted in general by the society so
  1165. 45:45they will they will strive for uh
  1166. 45:47becoming that kind of a person all the
  1167. 45:49beliefs and mindsets that they have will
  1168. 45:51be aligned towards those characters that
  1169. 45:54have been portrayed as ideal in the
  1170. 45:56movies okay similarly for uh female
  1171. 45:59characters how are they portrayed in the
  1172. 46:00movies uh these things will actually
  1173. 46:03instill a belief in you about how an
  1174. 46:06ideal wife should be how an ideal
  1175. 46:07daughter should be how an ideal son
  1176. 46:09should be right uh how is parenting to
  1177. 46:12be done all these things are coming from
  1178. 46:14movies as a big influence in a society
  1179. 46:17how your mindsets and beliefs are formed
  1180. 46:20around these Concepts around these
  1181. 46:21social structures okay similarly what
  1182. 46:24books you read okay uh the the media
  1183. 46:27that you take intake so if your content
  1184. 46:30intake and media intake is diverse okay
  1185. 46:33it's not focused on one culture or one
  1186. 46:35from one Society but if it is diverse
  1187. 46:37from different Society from different
  1188. 46:39culture it is uh it is very it will not
  1189. 46:43you will not form such narrow set of
  1190. 46:45mindsets or beliefs you will have a
  1191. 46:47broader perspective okay so this these
  1192. 46:49are the two things which are which will
  1193. 46:52uh which are actually forming the
  1194. 46:54mindsets and beliefs that you have in
  1195. 46:56you and and these mindsets and beliefs
  1196. 46:58that you get can be negative or positive
  1197. 47:00okay based on the uh early experiences
  1198. 47:02and environments so right now um I know
  1199. 47:06all of you are adults and um maybe you
  1200. 47:09are growing so you have these mindsets
  1201. 47:11and beliefs formed already anybody about
  1202. 47:147 years old will have their mindsets and
  1203. 47:16beliefs already formed okay now the next
  1204. 47:19question is can you change your mindsets
  1205. 47:21and beliefs you understood that it took
  1206. 47:23so many years of experiences and years
  1207. 47:26of environmental influence to form these
  1208. 47:28mindsets and beliefs so it's strong
  1209. 47:30neural connection it's not just vague
  1210. 47:33something vague there it is uh physical
  1211. 47:35NE neuron connections that you have in
  1212. 47:37your mind which is actually creating
  1213. 47:39these mindsets and beliefs okay it's a
  1214. 47:41physical thing tangible thing it's not
  1215. 47:43something um intangible okay so how can
  1216. 47:46you change it can you change these
  1217. 47:48mindset blocks and mindsets and beliefs
  1218. 47:51in you the good thing is that you can
  1219. 47:53change it okay and you can change it for
  1220. 47:55good you know that uh these experiences
  1221. 47:58right the the experiences of feelings
  1222. 48:01that you got created a belief in you
  1223. 48:03okay for in the example that I said the
  1224. 48:05feeling of embarrassment the feeling of
  1225. 48:07Shame the feeling of not being good
  1226. 48:10right that created a set of beliefs and
  1227. 48:12neurotic Connections in our mind okay so
  1228. 48:15how can I reverse it you can reverse it
  1229. 48:17by feeling good
  1230. 48:20intentionally okay you bring in the
  1231. 48:22feeling of feeling good you have to
  1232. 48:24intentionally by intentionally telling
  1233. 48:27you that no Dia it is not like that you
  1234. 48:29are really good this is one of a case
  1235. 48:31you don't have to think like that okay
  1236. 48:34that is how you intentionally change
  1237. 48:35your mindset through repetition one or
  1238. 48:38two times you say this to you it doesn't
  1239. 48:39change your belief because it is
  1240. 48:41subconsciously there inside you okay you
  1241. 48:43will get to know that through observing
  1242. 48:45your feelings now let's see how you can
  1243. 48:48change your beliefs first thing is to
  1244. 48:50catch yourself where you stand today
  1245. 48:53okay you have to become aware of your
  1246. 48:55current mindset and you have to aware of
  1247. 48:58your current beliefs around different
  1248. 49:00context um when it comes to
  1249. 49:01communication what are my beliefs when
  1250. 49:03it comes to pursuing art what are my
  1251. 49:05beliefs that I have when it comes to uh
  1252. 49:08moving on to a higher position to a
  1253. 49:09leadership position what are my mindsets
  1254. 49:12and beliefs what is what are the
  1255. 49:13feelings that I'm getting thinking about
  1256. 49:16all these things okay so the first thing
  1257. 49:17is to catch hold of you what are your
  1258. 49:20feelings pay attention to your feelings
  1259. 49:22pay attention how you react to
  1260. 49:24challenges and opportunities what is
  1261. 49:26triggering you sometimes you get
  1262. 49:28triggered right um strong emotions you
  1263. 49:30feel strong emotions like strong
  1264. 49:33happiness um you feel excited eccentric
  1265. 49:36uh sometimes you feel suddenly you feel
  1266. 49:38very sad when somebody tells you
  1267. 49:39something or some situation comes into
  1268. 49:41your way sometimes you feel very angry
  1269. 49:44frustrated irritated these are your
  1270. 49:46triggers these are your emotions so
  1271. 49:48whenever you get that emotion it comes
  1272. 49:50up consciously you you sometimes you may
  1273. 49:52not be able to control how you react but
  1274. 49:54after that you have an option to reflect
  1275. 49:57on it okay um uh so that is where you
  1276. 50:00can catch hold of your beliefs you can
  1277. 50:02think why did I react this what is the
  1278. 50:05thing that is was controlling my
  1279. 50:07reaction controlling my emotion why am I
  1280. 50:09feeling this way in this situation so
  1281. 50:12this is about becoming aware about
  1282. 50:15yourself your self-awareness so self
  1283. 50:18cultivating self-awareness is very
  1284. 50:19important before you can change yourself
  1285. 50:22okay so you need to pay attention to
  1286. 50:23your feelings to your reactions to your
  1287. 50:26resp responses to your triggers okay
  1288. 50:29this is first thing that you have to do
  1289. 50:30catch yourself okay and the second thing
  1290. 50:32that you can do is challenge yourself
  1291. 50:35okay so first you catch yourself right
  1292. 50:38after two to three times you understand
  1293. 50:40okay whenever I am asked to present
  1294. 50:42something in front of my team I am
  1295. 50:44feeling this way okay and you will
  1296. 50:46analyze why am I feeling this way okay
  1297. 50:48so you will understand okay this is
  1298. 50:49these are the fears that I have these
  1299. 50:51are the uh thoughts that I have when I
  1300. 50:53think about it okay then you have to uh
  1301. 50:56challenge yourself with a positive thing
  1302. 50:59so most of the time it will be questions
  1303. 51:01in your mind subconscious questions in
  1304. 51:03your mind so by becoming aware you will
  1305. 51:06understand what are those questions so
  1306. 51:07what if I am not prepared and um I give
  1307. 51:10out some wrong information which is
  1308. 51:12going to create a problem in the future
  1309. 51:14uh when I communicate and what if I
  1310. 51:17forget uh what I have to say if I become
  1311. 51:20blank uh what if I my grammar is not
  1312. 51:22going correct when I'm trying to speak
  1313. 51:24so these may be the questions that you
  1314. 51:26have have in your mind which is creating
  1315. 51:28all those feelings in you and stopping
  1316. 51:30you from taking on that challenge you
  1317. 51:32have to uh change it to your uh best
  1318. 51:35case scenarios yeah what if this turns
  1319. 51:37out to be really good uh at the end okay
  1320. 51:41uh what if they like my presentation
  1321. 51:43what if I they make me a give me another
  1322. 51:45opportunity or something like that okay
  1323. 51:47so change that what if worst case
  1324. 51:49scenario to what if best case scenario
  1325. 51:51okay so that is how you progress catch
  1326. 51:53yourself and then you challenge yourself
  1327. 51:55and then you practice it okay it's not
  1328. 51:57just a onetime activity you have to keep
  1329. 52:00deliberately you have to find and
  1330. 52:01practice New Attitudes that helps you in
  1331. 52:03the long run okay so this is about how
  1332. 52:06you can change your mindset mindsets and
  1333. 52:08beliefs for your good okay uh fine and
  1334. 52:11then um the law of belief so whatever
  1335. 52:14belief that you have right now whatever
  1336. 52:16you believe with feeling and emotion
  1337. 52:18that becomes your reality so your
  1338. 52:20current reality is a reflection of
  1339. 52:22whatever you are believing as about
  1340. 52:24yourself whatever you're believing about
  1341. 52:27the other people and whatever you are
  1342. 52:30believing about our surroundings for
  1343. 52:32example um if you have a belief that um
  1344. 52:37that I'm not a good communicator then
  1345. 52:38you will generally see that you don't
  1346. 52:40get much opportunities in communicating
  1347. 52:42in doing a presentation being on stage
  1348. 52:45so can you imagine being on an
  1349. 52:47international stage like a TED Talk and
  1350. 52:49talking to an audience how do you feel
  1351. 52:51about it do you think you can do that
  1352. 52:53now from your current state will you
  1353. 52:55immediately tomorrow somebody's asking
  1354. 52:57you hey can you come and give a TED Talk
  1355. 53:00um in 2 days will you accept that
  1356. 53:02opportunity or will you reject that
  1357. 53:04opportunity that depends upon your
  1358. 53:06current state right your current state
  1359. 53:08of belief about you as a communicator
  1360. 53:10okay so your whatever you see around you
  1361. 53:12is a reflection of the set of beliefs
  1362. 53:14you have formed in you already and now
  1363. 53:17if you to change it you have to think
  1364. 53:19about the new feelings the new emotions
  1365. 53:21that you want to embody uh feeling of
  1366. 53:24Pride the feeling of uh appreciation
  1367. 53:27somebody appreciates you how does how do
  1368. 53:29you feel you think about those feelings
  1369. 53:31and then you have to say I am a person
  1370. 53:33who is appreciated okay even if it's not
  1371. 53:36your reality currently you have to think
  1372. 53:39and tell yourself that yes I'm a person
  1373. 53:41who is appreciated and feel the feeling
  1374. 53:43of how you will feel when somebody
  1375. 53:45appreciates you think about any time in
  1376. 53:48your life that you were appreciated
  1377. 53:50early uh people were appreciating and
  1378. 53:54congratulating you think about any that
  1379. 53:56and how did you feel at that point of
  1380. 53:57time okay so you have to bring back uh
  1381. 54:00that memories of that good feelings to
  1382. 54:01you and bring that memories multiple
  1383. 54:03times repeatedly so that you become
  1384. 54:06familiar with the new feelings so that
  1385. 54:08then your reality changes uh with
  1386. 54:10situations and circumstances which will
  1387. 54:12give you this new feeling okay uh so we

  1392. 54:24will have in the entire thing so uh the
  1393. 54:27last thing that I want to tell you today
  1394. 54:28is uh 80% of your results that you're
