One thing I see popping up a lot, especially in business circles, is talk about mindset.
I used to believe all the stuff about changing my mindset to be towards success or money or whatever it was. I would work really hard, following all the steps, and then feeling like there was something wrong with me when it all came crashing down as it wasn’t working.
Lately I have realised that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my mindset.
The thing that’s wrong is the assumption from others that there is something wrong with it.
My brain is neurodivergent, it is wired differently. I see things the way I see them, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Years of experience have shaped the way I look at the world, and most of that was before I knew I was autistic and ADHD.
I see patterns in things around me.
When it comes to money, I have seen what happens when I make budget that don’t feel right to me just to tick someone elses boxes. I need a different approach that has nothing to do with mindset.
When it comes to success, my view doesn’t fit the boxes that others have. I have been told that my dreams aren’t big enough (see other posts I’ve done on this) and I have to change my mindset. I have a different view of success and what it means to me. It has nothing to do with mindset.
These days, whenever I see someone spruik a course or program about changing your mindset for success, I run a mile.
I’m not going to spend any more time changing my mindset, at least not in the way others tell me I should. Instead, I’m going to focus on learning more about my brain and working with it, instead of trying to change it.
There is nothing wrong with my mindset at all.
