Winning vs. losing is more dependent on your mindset than you may realize. Last week I introduced Deb Brown Maher’s concept that:
Beliefs always drive behavior, and behavior will repeat until an outside influence causes a change in beliefs.
So, a behavior I have when I don’t produce a result in my desired timeframe is I go into frenetic action to try to “fix” it.
Let’s look at what I experience when it works:
When I produce the result using the “All hands on deck behavior” I become anxious, creativity leaves the room and everything becomes HARD.
And even though I “Won” there is little to no joy in the win, it feels like a shaky victory as I start to doubt myself and my ability to maintain it. So even though I “Won” I lost, didn’t I?
No surprise here because - My Beliefs didn’t change.
Stay tuned, more to unfold from this Ah Ha!
Winning vs. losing - increasing belief and minimizing doubt.
