Dangers of Over thinking
Dangers that come with Over thinking
Impulsive
thoughts
arise
The less you practice deep
thinking, the more you feel
you are right in your
opinions
Your perspective becomes myopic, and you
assume if you are right once, you are always
right
With growing self righteousness, you begin
to force your opinions on others while
refusing outside perspectives
End Result
Why is a mindset change so hard?
“It might be because we are used to thinking and doing things a
certain way”.
The way you think and do things determines the way the people
you work with view you
The way people
view you as a
leader
determines the
way they will
react to you

How to change your mindset
• Acknowledge that there is a problem – recognize the beliefs that you have about
yourself and the world around you.
• Set a clear, achievable goal for yourself, it will allow you to focus on one task at a
time until completed
• Recognizing that it’s possible – and then taking the steps needed to make it
happen
• Open our minds to new possibilities, we can create the lives we want to live
• Free yourself from the chains of your past
• Build good habits – stay away from people who don’t encourage you
How to change your mindset

• Read and listen to word-based materials/teachings/testimonies
• Surround yourself with great people
• Find victory in the small wins
• Get regular exercise and enjoy hobbies
• Focus on the positives in any situation
• Embrace personal development
• Don’t let your emotions run you - Master Your Mind
Mastering your Mindset means understanding what inspires you
and using that energy towards accomplishing your goals
instead of letting them hold onto negativity or fear, which only
holds them back from achieving anything they want.

questions)
– Control Your Mindset
– Take Control Of Your Life
Can you really shift your Mindset?
You can’t change your past, but you can always change who you are and
how you see the world.
How do I change my Mindset and attitude?
Do you ever feel like your work is not enough? That you are not doing
anything with your life and that there is no point in continuing on?
Well, that’s a lie.
There is always more that you can do, and it starts with changing
the way you think.
Your thoughts are powerful; they dictate how we feel about
yourself and others and ultimately our actions.
Your thoughts control your actions, which in turn determines the
results you get.
What is shifting Mindset?
Shifting your Mindset will shift your reality.
Your old beliefs will no longer work, and you’ll need to adopt new ones
that are more beneficial for you.
How do I shift my Mindset for success?
• “follow your passion,” NOT what your friends are doing
• “find something you love to do and then figure out how to make
money doing it,” or “work hard.”
• Start with small steps
• Positive thinking
• Self motivation
• Don’t quit

Editor's Notes

  • #4 From the moment we wake up to when we go to sleep, there are thoughts running through our minds about ourselves and others around us.
  • #12 Your mental state has a lot to do with your prosperity/success Everything in the world is built twice, Build in the mind and Physical reality Your mind is an extra ordinary fertile garden, it will grow any seed (ideas) – Be careful what you drop in your mind If you attempt to change your (physical reality) without first changing your mind, your mindset will compel behaviours that will force your life to return back to default – to reflect your level of thinking. We focus on changing cars, clothes, showbiz etc
  • #18 Some people have a fixed mindset that can lead to unhappiness because they compare themselves to others or never see their own progress. Others may have a growth mindset which helps them grow. You may be wondering… “What’s so special about my thoughts?” Well, it turns out they matter A LOT when it comes to shaping every part of your day- Happy or Unhappy! YOU CHOOSE!
