Constraints: Mindset

Updated over a year ago

A Mindset Constraint, also sometimes referred to as a behavioral constraint, is an example of an Internal Constraint. Mindset Constraints are any opinions, systems, or judgements by humans that limit progress. Logic, precedence, or social constructs are all Mindset Constraints. A common Mindset Constraint is the presence of a relatively fixed attitude or mental disposition that predetermines your responses and interpretations of situations - a fixed mindset is a limitation to growth!

Examples of Mindset Constraints could potentially include:

  • Believing you cannot achieve your goal

  • Believing you have no limitations (or constraints)

  • Having a relatively fixed attitude or mental disposition, rather than a growth mindset, that predetermines your responses and interpretations of situations

  • Choosing to do something because it's "the way it's always been done"

  • Not giving attention to the smaller tasks / roadblocks and always focusing on the big, high-level goals

  • Working through a task or goal without understanding the purpose

Hint

See your possibilities, not your limitations!
