What is a possibility mindset?<\/strong>
\nContrary to what a lot of people think, a possibility mindset is not only about thinking positive all the time, it is also about allowing yourself to think of what could be done or achieved – daring to even think that it can be done and most importantly having a framework in place to allow the possibilities to manifest.<\/p>\n

Throughout history we have seen many examples of impossible things becoming possible.
\nLike flying on airplanes, driving cars, landing on the moon, using electricity, using telephones etc.. None of these things would have become reality without people daring to think of them as a possibility. We wouldn\u2019t be experiencing the world as we know it today if they hadn\u2019t allowed themselves to think that it could be possible. Similarly, people like Oprah Winfrey, Nelson Mandela, J.K Rowling etc.. wouldn\u2019t have achieved what they have if they hadn\u2019t begun with a possibility mindset.<\/p>\n

So why is having a possibility mindset important?<\/strong> It\u2019s the first step in achieving anything you want. If you do not allow yourself to think about what you truly want or your dream, and think of it as a possibility, then how is it ever going to become real? You might think that just the thought of it is too scary and you don\u2019t see how or any way of making it happen so why even bother entertaining the thought? Well this is exactly what sets apart people that make things happen from people who just wish things would happen.<\/p>\n

Being scared is normal if it\u2019s the first time you are going to do or try something and especially if you don\u2019t even know if it\u2019s possible. But the reason you are scared is not necessarily because it\u2019s life threatening or dangerous but because your brain is resisting you trying to step out of your comfort zone.\u00a0 Your brain will ring alarm bells and make you see the worst case scenario because it\u2019s its job to keep you safe. Anything it is not familiar with is signaled to you as danger so you go back into your comfort zone and stay safe. Being safe is great for your brain as it is doing what it is supposed to do to protect you. But is it great for you? Well not really, as it will never let you experience new things. If you don\u2019t experience new things how likely are you to grow? Staying in your comfort zone might keep you safe but it might also keep you feeling stuck and frustrated because you are putting limitations on yourself. So remember, if you want to pursue your dreams, do what you truly want and live in a world of possibilities you have to step out of your comfort zone and challenge the resistance your brain will subject you to.<\/p>\n

Another thing to consider when having a possibility mindset is how aligned your belief system is with what you want to achieve. Is your current framework for possibility serving you? If \u2018your\u2019 reality, the beliefs held in your subconscious mind contradict what you want to achieve, you will find it very difficult to move ahead with your goals as your subconscious mind will sabotage you on an unconscious level.<\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0something you can do and reflect on to start opening up to a possibility mindset.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Remind yourself everyday that you are an asset to the world.<\/p>\n

How does this make you feel and how could you approach your daily tasks, goals and dreams from this place in terms of possibilities? What would you do differently?<\/p>\n

2) Learn to recognise when you are in scarcity thinking. Notice how you react to situations or challenges –<\/p>\n

a) do you tend to go into an internal blame mode by beating yourself up?
\nb) do you tend to feel victimised and go into an external blame mode?
\nc) do you just feel indifferent?
\nd) or do you tend to see the opportunity to learn from the situation and even see the positive in it?<\/p>\n

If you see that your reaction is anywhere between statement a) and c) then try reframing your thinking to consciously start looking for opportunities in any situation.<\/p>\n

3) Take time to ask yourself everyday: \u2018What\u2019s possible for me today?\u201d \u201cWhat is possible for me today in my life and in my business?” And give\u00a0yourself the time to think about it and reflect on it. When doing this, open yourself up to limitless possibilities, allow yourself to think beyond what you have ever thought before and dare to imagine a world full of opportunities.<\/p>\n
