- - While "mindful" and "mindset" both relate to the mind, they are distinct concepts. Mindfulness refers to the practice of being present in the moment and aware of one's thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindset, on the other hand, is a set of beliefs and attitudes that shape how one approaches situations and challenges. They can complement each other, but are not interchangeable.
Mindfulness: It's a practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It involves observing your thoughts and feelings as they arise, without getting carried away by them. Mindfulness can be cultivated through techniques like meditation and mindful breathing. Mindset: It's a mental attitude or inclination, a set of beliefs and values. It can be a fixed mindset (believing abilities are static) or a growth mindset (believing abilities can be developed). Mindset influences how you approach challenges, setbacks, and learning opportunities. Relationship: A mindful approach can help you become more aware of your thoughts and beliefs, potentially leading to a more positive mindset. Having a growth mindset can make you more open to practicing mindfulness and learning from experiences. While mindfulness is a practice, mindset is more about the underlying beliefs and attitudes. 2 That our mindset has. Just saying. Think this positive, that is kind of like saying, just do this quick quad stretch. And you can now master yoga. All right. Granted, it feels good in the moment. And it works in the moment, but it's not going to do anything for your long term benefit. Mindfulness. Is a state of being. Mindfulness is another one of those words. That you hear a lot of when it, when people are talking about mindset, It's it's a state of being it's about staying in the present. Being mindful is not thinking about the past. Not thinking about the future. No judgment on what's going on. It's just experiencing and observing what's around you and maybe what you're doing. So for example, mindful eating.. Mindfulness mistakenly intertwined with meditation and mindset and positive thinking. And, and they're all definitely different from each other. So coming to mindset. What is mindset? The technical definition. Of mindset is what you believe about yourself. And what you believe about the world? Positive thinking is something else that you hear a lot about. And it gets intertwined with things like mindset and mindfulness, positive thinking is a part. Of your overall mindset. But it's not the entire mindset. So, if you think of it, mindset is kind of this umbrella. Underneath this umbrella is positive. Thinking underneath this umbrella is mindfulness. Underneath this umbrella is meditation. Generally speaking, mindset refers to the set of beliefs we have about ourselves and our potential. The concept of “mindset” was first articulated by Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck in her 2007 book entitled Mindset; The New Psychology of Success. After decades of research on achievement and success, she determined that a person’s success in life is largely based on whether they have a “fixed,” or “growth” mindset. If we have a fixed mindset, we believe our potential is limited, or fixed. For example, with a fixed mindset we have the belief we are intelligent or we are not—we are capable of doing something or we are not. This view gives us very little motivation to grow or move forward. However, if we have the tools to shift towards a “growth” mindset we don’t limit ourselves – we believe that our potential, skills, choices and intelligence are dynamic, changeable, and can be cultivated. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great achievement. MINDSET CAN LAND EITHER WAY; MINDFULNESSS IS ALWAYS PROGRESSIVE.
