154 Expand Your Mindset

Today I talk about how to expand your mindset. Growing up as a highly sensitive person, most of us weren’t taught how to effectively work with a nervous system that overstimulates so quickly and easily. As a result, we often default to what I call “either/or thinking”.   “Either it’s perfect OR it’s a disaster.” “Either I do only what I want right now or I’m stuck doing what I don’t want forever.” “Either everything is easy and successful, not challenging, or I’m sad, stuck, stressed, angry, a failure, not having fun, and don’t know my purpose.”   Sound familiar?   Either/Or thinking is a learned behavior as a result of missed attempts to manage anxiety. And a very common experience for those of us who are highly sensitive.   This means – Good News Alert! – it can also be unlearned.   In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to unravel yourself and expand your mindset from limited either/or thinking to access a both/and mindset instead – opening up a whole new world of possibilities and creative solutions.   “Either/Or thinking is the opposite of the process of re-return and recommitment.” – Heather Dominick Show Notes: How to manage perfectionism Signs that you are struggling with perfectionism What is the relationship between overthinking and the shadow of overprotection Examples of either/or thinking How to move away from either/or thinking Ways to expand your mindset “Developing a both/and mindset has been proven via research that it is learnable and possible at any age.” – Heather Dominick Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/154
