REWRITING MINDSETS HOMEWORK – Part 1

The following assignment has the potential to provide rich insight and to literally change your life.

1.     Write a paragraph which summarizes what you believe is a Negative Mindset in your life.

 

For instance:

 

“All my life I have believed that I could never achieve success in school, on a job, or in a relationship. The longer I live the more I realize what an utter failure and waste I am. God really does make junk. I’m clear proof of it.”

 

2.     Next, write a paragraph which summarizes a Defensive Mechanism which flows out of the faulty mindset. (This paragraph represents a behavior, or the lack thereof).

 

For instance:

“Because I am a failure, I have given up trying. I have been content, and will remain content with just getting by. I mean, ‘what’s the use anyway?’ I must shield myself from getting hurt or taking risks. As much as possible, I will refrain from any activity where I am destined for more failure.”
