What Is Mindset?


Having the right mindset will define your vision and assist with discovering your passion while becoming very clear and specific about what you need and want. Plus, having the right mindset will continually reinforce your motivation, making achieving your personal development goals a breeze. 


Why Mindset Matters

The thoughts and beliefs that shape your life and help you make sense of the world and where you belong in it makes up your mindset. Your mindset ultimately either enables your success in life or hinders it. How you think informs what you feel as well as what you do. Your mindset impacts your experience of the world and affects how you see your place in it. 

  • Determines How You Deal with Setbacks – A growth mindset helps you see setbacks as a reason to find a solution and not as a reason to give up. 

  • Allows You to Learn New Skills – Learning new skills throughout your life is imperative to experience lifelong success and reach your personal development goals. You know you can learn given the time and opportunity when you have a growth mindset. 

  • Ensures Your Ultimate Happiness – Happy and joyful people exist at all levels of society, including the very poor and ill. Yet, some people are truly happy because they don't see their poverty and illness as a failure or permanent situation. 

  • Helps You Solve Problems – Having an open mind to discover fresh solutions to old problems will allow you to solve more intimidating problems. This mindset involves focusing on solving problems and finding solutions without spiraling. 

  • Increases Resilience – Getting off the ground, brushing yourself off, and getting right back up onto that horse is an excellent skill to develop. It's an essential aspect of life that will serve you well. You need the right mindset to be able to get back up after a fall to see the challenge and failure as a chance to learn something new and do it again. 

  • Ensures Contentment – One of the most pleasurable feelings in the world is the feeling of contentment. It's how you feel right after eating dinner or finishing a marathon. Even if you want more later, right now, you feel great. You can feel content about your life every single day if you have the right mindset. 

  • Helps You Thrive – Things change so much through one's lifetime. For example, the internet once was not as valuable for the masses as it is now. But if you have a growth mindset that values lifelong learning, you will thrive no matter what technologies come to fruition because you'll stay in the loop. 


Mindset matters because you may not make the right choices without the right mindset for each life situation and stage. A fixed mindset may cause you to give up too soon. But if you have a growth mindset, the sky is truly the limit. You can accomplish any goals you want, given the time and effort.

The Skill of Self-Advocacy for Women

Self-advocacy is an important skill that allows women to communicate their needs effectively with others. This includes everyone from bosses to friends, relatives, and spouses.  When women master this skill, they can navigate life more easily with resilience, assertiveness, and confidence.  Here are a few examples of what it means to be your own self-advocate: Asking for a raise at work and providing legitimate evidence that supports your request.   Telling a friend you don’t eat seafood when they recommend it for dinner and suggesting the two of you come up with another idea that pleases everyone involved.   Asking a teacher if you can take a math test in a separate room or after class if you get test anxiety.   These are all very different examples; but they each communicate a vital part of self-advocacy which is understanding the value you bring to the table, communicating your preferences clearly, and recognizing what you need to feel in contr...
