Term: "Mindset statements"

Use mindset statements to help realize and set your conscious mind in a way that will help you achieve peace, joy, and pleasant outcomes.

Mindset statements are:

1. A simple sentence, such as "I am better than him", "I know how to cook", or "Different opinions are useful".

2. Usually, subconscious. Aim to make them conscious as much as possible.

3. We hold minimum 5 of them without realizing in any situation.

Things to consider:

• There are thousands of mindsets and mindset statements.

• We switch through them all the time.

• They are fundamental to our behavior.

• Mindsets will help us or prevent us from noticing information.

• Other people likely have a different set of mindsets thus they will notice different information than us. That's part of how disagreements arise.

Adopting a mindset

In my experience, a mindset is adopted when I can remember the mindset statement more than 5% of the time.

I have not found a good way to adopt mindsets yet, however here are a few that have worked to some extent for me and others:

1. Come up with a mindset statement and think about it before a situation (conversation, meeting)

2. Write mindset statements that you'd like to adopt on notes and spread them around the desk/room/bedroom/etc.

3. Use them as phone or computer background.
