Ep. 49 Mental Pivot

What is a mental pivot?

It is the ability to the awareness that something is not working/going to plan, and a slight course correction is needed. This slight shift needs to start with the ability to see things differently- have a change in perception. All of this is accomplished in our mind.

 

#1)A mental pivot is necessary before new emotions and physical actions transpire. 

#2) We have the ability to re-frame a circumstance and put new meaning towards them. Pivot with intention aligned with this new meaning. 

#3) Re-frame with a positive perspective, and gratitude. 

#4)Pivot Fast! This will protect us from falling in a hole and becoming the victim. Instead we will remain the creator.

#5)Adjust Expectations. Don’t be so fixed on how you’ll get to your new end goal. Surrender to the process and have faith and belief it will work out. Drop your ego! We don't need to stay fixated on our first plan of attack. Even if we've invested time and energy into an idea, it still might be more productive to change our direction. 

#6) Become an ‘Optimal Realist’. Have optimism that this will get better, and that your mental pivot will make things better. If we believe something won’t work, we will subconsciously look for every reason why our circumstance is not getting better....

We also need to be a realist. Our conditions won’t magically get better if all we do is apply hope. Exterior circumstances wont simply magically change. We should accept the circumstance, understand it is real, and take actions that we can control.
