The Simple Mind is a newsletter to help you reduce overthinking and boost self-confidence.

Happy Friday!

This week, I want to share with you some powerful questions to check in with yourself and help you figure out what you want next, mindset wise.

Let’s dive in!

PS: As a reminder, your mindset is defined by your set of beliefs, behaviors, and ways of thinking.

Reading time: 2 min.

A bunch of questions for you

Answer them as you read, or copy paste them and take some time to really reflect (online or on a journal). If you go through all questions you’ll likely need between 45 minutes and 1 hour 30, depending how deep you go.

These questions can also be fun to ask with a trusted person to reflect together.

Audit where you’re at

Think about your mind now, and how it has evolved in the past 12 months.

On how you feel

• How do you feel about yourself and your life right now?

• How did you feel a year ago?

• What is different?

On your relationship with yourself

• What do you like about yourself?

• What do you dislike, or feel ashamed of?

On your behaviour

• What takes energy from you? What are you oh-so tired off?

• What habits and behaviours have you put in place in the past year?

• What habits and behaviours have you stopped?

On challenges

• How do you currently approach setbacks and challenges?

• What are times where you react instead of respond

On the change you want

• What does not serve you anymore?

• What beliefs or patterns do you believe can get in your own way?

Look into the future

We’re exploring where you want to be a year from now in terms of mindset.

Take a few breath, and try to picture yourself a year from now. Answer these questions, as if you were already this future version of yourself. We’re talking ideal, ideal future self. Be bold, dream big!

On how you feel

• What’s on your mind, what’s/are your predominant feeling/s?

• What do people feel around you?

On your relationship to yourself

• How do you talk about yourself and your life in general?

• What characteristics have you developed, and strengthened?

• What are you proud of?

On your behavior and challenges

Bridge the gap between future you and now.

• How does this future version of you approach challenges and life in general? (This is your mindset goal)

• Who else approaches challenges/ life in that way?

• How do they do it? What characteristics do they have? (these are ideas on what you can put in place)

On the change you want

• What do you feel you need to cultivate or nurture to switch how you feel about yourself? (this is your plan)

• What’s one action I can take today to nurture this mindset? (this is kicking it into motion)

Thank you for reading, happy exploring of your next mindset challenge!
