Challenge your thinking and explore new perspectives
We are born with an innate curiosity to learn. Just watch a young child. They are wide eyed and constantly asking questions so they can better understand themselves and the world around them.
As we get older many of us lose this expansive and exploratory mindset, the growth mindset and we get stuck (usually very unconsciously) in a fixed mindset.
All we need is someone or something to be the catalyst for us to re-connect with that innate curiosity and wonder, and our whole experience can change.
When we shift into a growth mindset we start to see ourselves, others and the world in a whole new way.
We see the potential, the possibilities and the options that were shut out when we were fixed in our knowing.
And from there......who knows what is possible!
So, open your mind, shift your mindset and explore something new through my Moment of Insight blog and YouTube channel.
Your Moment of Insight - Blog

The struggle of an idealist in a world of pessimists, pragmatists and realists is that at times it can feel very lonely, like we’re sitting on the edge of the crowd not being invited into the conversation. Everyone is looking in one direction and when we point out that there is another direction they could look in we feel dismissed, not heard and ridiculed for romantic notions about the world. But it doesn't have to feel that way.

Idealist: “Someone who believes that very good things can be achieved, often when this does not seem likely to others”. Rather than hiding away, agreeing with others, making myself wrong for holding a more hopeful view of the world or criticising myself for being naïve I backed myself and stood behind my beliefs.

We begin this adventure of a lifetime as wide open, expansive, creative, loving, curious and innately wise little beings full of possibility, potential and optimism. But through our experience of interacting with others and the world around us we, unconsciously, wrap ourselves up in patterns of behaving and thinking which serve to protect us from the perceived risk of following that childlike energy. Now is the time to "unwrap" those protective layers and reconnect with who we really are.

Experimenting is fundamentally about trying things out and not being attached to a particular outcome. It is about giving things a go and learning from whatever happens. There is a real freedom in approaching things with an experimental mindset and I believe it can be brought to all aspects of our lives.

Like me, are you also someone who tends to plan moments of bliss rather than allow them to happen?
Ridiculous as that may sound, I realise that when I am in my familiar environment doing familiar and routine activities I tend to plan for moments of bliss or joy to happen sometime in the future, when all of the things I need to do have been done. I am discovering the possibility of experiencing moments of bliss at any time and without the preplanning.
