Strategies for Creating an Empowering Mindset
Tip 1: Define a New Identity
Identity is the belief that you use to define your individuality. As you define and develop a new Identity, your mindset and behaviors will often change to support this new belief in yourself. When you become this definition in your mind, you will make an effort to live up to your new identity. This is one of the most effective ways to help you change your mindset and elevate your standards and expectations.
“Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.”
Tip 2: Commit to Your New Identity
Commit to your new identity and eventually you will not just act like that person, you will become the person you desire and see this in a new reality.

Benefits of Creating an Emotional Investment
Inspiration and Enthusiasm
Creating an emotional investment is an effective strategy to drive your behavior. When you identify compelling reasons for working through challenges, you will no longer need to be pushed to make progress; you will be inspired to work through barriers and keep moving in your desired direction.
Achieving Your Goal Will Be Easier
Once you create a mindset that you must work through challenges, figuring out how to accomplish this will be easier. Your enthusiasm and mindset will inspire you to do what it takes to accomplish your goal.
Strategies for Helping You Create an Emotional Investment
Define your Values: “What is important to you?”
- Defining your values is a strong driving force to direct your focus, decisions, and actions. Create leverage by placing value on areas that will best serve and support your mission.
- Assessing your actions. Do you value sitting around watching tv, taking drugs, spending money, and buying material things for status? Or do you value reaching your full potential?
Your actions are telling the world what is important to you. So if your behaviors do not align with your goals, you should prioritize and value the actions needed to support your mission.
Ask Good Questions
Questions are a good way to establish a state of creativity, possibility, reflection, and enthusiasm. As you ask questions, you begin to think in different ways and entertain new possibilities. By answering these questions, you will begin to formulate answers and start changing your mindset and life.
Example:
- How will I feel if I achieve my goal?
- What are the benefits of accomplishing my goal? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? Financially? Professionally? Relationships?
- Write down the benefits I will enjoy by taking action today?
- How happy will I and everyone in my life be if I accomplish my goal?
- What other possibilities will be available to me if I accomplish this goal?
Attach Pain/Pleasure
- Attach pain to not working through your setback or not achieving your dream.
- Attach pleasure to working through your challenges and visualize successfully achieving your dreams.
