How does mindset affect success?

Often, when we are used to things being a certain way, we don’t question them. We may overlook our feelings, thoughts, and circumstances and take them for granted. We may fail to see how our past, our culture, and society have shaped our belief system around success.

That’s where journaling can reveal your mindset around success. Mindset is crucial to become aware of in any aspect of life. The accomplishment of every single goal or dream starts first with a positive growth mindset.

What is a positive growth mindset?

A positive growth mindset means you believe your talents and skills can be developed with effort. A PGM is an optimistic mindset by nature, but it’s more about having a belief in self-growth and ultimately, your ability to succeed.

This is as opposed to a fixed mindset, in which one believes their gifts, talents, and abilities are “set” and they cannot learn or achieve something because “that’s just how it is” or “I can’t because I’m ____ ” (fill in the excuse.)

Someone with a PGM knows they can achieve just about anything they set their mind to if they have passion, positivity, and work hard.

A positive growth mindset may just be one of the most important variables in achieving success. That’s why we need to journal about it!

So without further wait, here are 25 journal prompts for success and a positive growth mindset. Find the free printable journal prompts for success at the end!

How to keep up a positive growth mindset about success

Maintaining a positive growth mindset is ongoing. You won’t always find it easy, but you gotta keep at it.

If I feel I’m not doing well with something, I try to remind myself that it’s Ok. I will learn or improve if I keep trying. It’s Ok not to be perfect, and failing is learning. Basically, I give myself grace and use positive self-talk. And I am telling you, it works!

After a while, it becomes second nature to maintain a positive growth mindset.

Affirmations train your brain to think a certain way. And thinking affirmations of success can help to manifest success by increasing motivation and inspiration.

Journaling your shareable ideas

You can plan out what you want to share in your journal first to test-drive ideas. I journal new blogging and art print ideas all the time. You could journal new teaching ideas, new health care ideas, new business ideas, and more.

Lifestyle design journaling

Another great way to journal your success is to write about your ideal lifestyle, using every possible detail. Journaling your ideal life is a great way to help manifest it, as writing helps you get crystal clear on what you want. Once you know what you want, you can make a plan to attain it.

Conclusion

Trying to uncover what’s holding you back from success is always worth pursuing.

If you have a certain goal or you desire success in any area of your life, then you owe it to yourself to achieve that goal and have the success you desire. You owe it to yourself to be persistent and make your dreams come true.

Your mindset is everything, and developing a positive growth mindset in itself is a success. There aren’t too many successful people without that kind of mindset.
