Just sharing some interesting information about SET MIND AND MINDSET I read the other day .
When we suggest the idea of a "set mind," what does that mean? It means someone who prefers to accept the status quo. There is complacency with one’s beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and actions.
What are the potential pitfalls of a set mind? How can complacency lead to a self-limiting lifestyle?
The expression, “It is what it is” illustrates the problematic style of the set mind. This expression does not foresee an alternative to the current situation. In fact, the person exhibiting a set mind has already acquiesced to the situation they face. Over time, acquiescence leads to “Don’t rock the boat,” and worse, “Why bother?” This reinforces procrastination and settling for less than what may be possible.
Mindset on the other hand a mindset is fixed but with the potential to change into a growth experience based on one’s experiences.
Without the limiting factors of a set mind, a mindset can be adaptable and labile, which permits new perspectives and the ability to change. One’s beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and actions are readily altered to manage situations as needed. Having this ability to shift one’s mindset as required builds confidence through embracing the unknown rather than avoiding it. The fear of change is conquered by facing one’s fear, which expands rather than limits one’s experiences
Isn't that interesting... and very approach qe all need to take to progress, grow and expand our experience.
Happy reading everyone.
