How do you change your mindset when your world is falling apart? Can you target goals and hit them when you are in crisis? Is it possible to make any progress instead of doing random stuff and wallowing in misery? Dear Readers, you’ve repeatedly asked this blog these questions since the beginning of the year. So, keep reading to find how to flip your mindset and see results even amid any crisis!
Welcome to the JMS blog, your hub for the success tips to level up your brand.
As a reminder, this website answers all your branding questions. If it is your first time visiting, this blog is the brainchild of JMStrategy LLC (JMS), a boutique consulting firm that offers strategic solutions to strengthen your professional or personal brands. The JMS team is in the business of designing recovery plans as robust as possible that avoid behavioral or productivity inertia. Now, without further ado, let’s dive into everything you need to know about changing your mindset when in crisis.
Why is it so challenging to change your mindset when in crisis?
Let’s look at a few scenarios, Dear Readers, before answering this question.
Are you a nonprofit that needs to raise funds for much-needed capital improvement as donations are at an all-time low?
Have you lost your job unexpectedly and are struggling to get your career back on track as bills pile up or buy enough groceries to feed your loved ones?
Are you a newly appointed Fortune 500 director who has the dreaded task of eliminating the chronic employee attribution that has been crippling your teams amid this Great Resignation phenomenon?
Has your small business suffered a dramatic drop in revenue over time since the beginning of the global pandemic and is struggling to adapt to the ever-changing state or federal policy changes regulating your industry?
Are you a dean fighting to maintain the national ranking of your graduate program while school enrollment is at an all-time low?
Now, Dear Readers, let’s add to these stressful scenarios the reality of living in 2022, shall we? We have a pinch of high inflation, a pound of an interminable global pandemic, a sprinkle supply chain chaos, and the heart-breaking baby formula shortage to bout. Isn’t that a recipe for a full-blown crisis of epic proportion?!! The kind that leaves you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and two French fries away from having a heart attack!
Who has time to focus on mindset, Dear Readers, when it takes everything to survive whatever insurmountable roadblock you are scared to face? Does anyone even know that you have survived a vicious cycle alternating between depressive thoughts incessantly racing through your mind at night and morning stomach aches appearing in time to dash out the door for a job you may not even like that much?
What steps can you take to change your mindset concretely; no B.S.!
As you see, Dear Readers, life is often very bruising from time to time. It might even feel that you move from setbacks to utter chaos cyclically. JMS clients always complain that changing their mindset is a daunting task. It might be the same for you, Dear Readers. For this reason, this blog has boiled it all down to two easy-to-follow steps.
One – Learn to change your scarcity mindset to an abundance framework.
The end goal is to find abundance in everything that you do. Of course, to make such a change is challenging when one feels like crap. So, start small and swap words from your vocabulary like “I can’t” for “I may not be ready, but I want to learn how to…”. You’ll see how you can adjust your scarcity lenses and see all the possibilities lying right outside your comfort zone.
Learn more about what it takes to have a mindset for success and remove any limiting self-belief for good.
Two – Develop the reflex to track everything that you do.
Dear Readers, how often do you ask yourself what you’ve done at the end of a “long” day? How can you gauge whether you are successfully managing the current crisis if you cannot even spell out the actions and decisions you’ve made to move forward? Is there anything more discouraging than letting the days pass you by while your life seems to descend deeper into chaos??!!!
To avoid feeling utterly defeated, Dear Readers, track how you spend your time, your emotions, diet, and level of physical activity. It will show you where you are, and you can choose what aspect of your life you want to focus on at any given time. While tidiest, such tracking brings clarity and allows you to correct any skewness in your vision. By assessing what you’re not doing, you can address it immediately. In a matter of weeks, you WILL see results!
