Applying the Self Mastery Model
Reflect on personal stories from your personal or professional lives where you can clearly see how your mindset “caused” a significant success.
Reflect on stories where your mindset caused a significant failure. Identify how your mindset would have had to be different to generate success in that situation.
Use the template on page 181 of Beyond Change Management: Assessing Your Ways of Being and keep a log of both your self-limiting
and optimal ways of being over the next week.
Each student is to record what occurred in the situation and in themselves where these ways of being manifested. Be as specific as they can describing the situation, their emotional reactions, the physical sensations those emotions caused, their mindset and any self- talk that occurred, and their behaviors, actions, and results.
Share any personal insights you gained over the week about what in “external reality” triggered these ways of being, and what in your internal reality (mindset) was the ultimate cause of ways of being. Distinguish between what is occurring “out there” in these situations, and what is occurring “in here” that has you interpret “out there” as you do, thus producing your internal reaction and the outcomes it generates. The point here is to help you see how you are personally “at cause” generating both your self-limiting and optimal ways of being.
(Use the insights from this exercise to be vigilant watching for and shifting a specific self-limiting mindset that you have identified occurs in yourself. Use the insights in your Personal Change Project.)
