This week, we're diving deep into one of our foundational frameworks, exploring what we've previously referred to as the "hierarchy of mindset" but are now reframing as the "mindset continuum." We unpack the reasoning behind this shift in terminology and take a closer look at the different stages that comprise this continuum, from the victim mindset to the pinnacle of mental fitness: the competitor mindset. Along the way, we'll offer practical insights and actionable strategies for recognizing where we currently reside on the continuum and how we can work towards cultivating a more resilient, growth-oriented perspective – one that empowers us to embrace challenges and adversity as opportunities for personal growth and evolution. ❤️ Weekly Newsletter & Premium Subscription THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS 🔗 LMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/excellence 🔗 Momentous: http://www.livemomentous.com [code: EXCELLENCE] 🔗 BON CHARGE Infrared Sauna Blanket and other wellness products: https://boncharge.com/ [code: EXCELLENCE] ABOUT THE SHOW Every Tuesday, we answer listener questions about health, fitness, fulfillment, and what it takes to chase what truly matters.
