Causes of Mindset Addicted Behavior

 A mindset is engraved thoughts, ideas, belief, teachings, and traits, in the mind which you believe is truth.

Webster Dictionary defines mindset as “a particular way of thinking: a person's attitude or set of opinions about something.”

:  A mental attitude or inclination

:  A fixed state of mind

Free Dictionary defined it as “A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person's responses to and interpretations of situations.”

.  An inclination or a habit. A habitual or characteristic mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.

Robert Sternberg, author of Successful Intelligence says a mindset is “Mindsets are beliefs—beliefs about yourself and your most basic qualities. Think about your intelligence, your talents, and your personality. Are these qualities simply fixed traits, carved in stone and that’s that? Or are they things you can cultivate throughout your life?”

A mindset is a way of thinking or a set belief how you handle life, circumstance and make decisions.  You have been trained to face problems positive or negative. It’s a mindset that been established in your early childhood development from association, (people), environment (home, school, neighborhood, city and culture) and teaching (religious, racism, relationship, marriage and etc.). Your mind has been shaped and wired to make decisions based on the blue print in your mind. Learned behavior has taught you to copy and duplicate the examples that was demonstrated to you as a child. It may be in a healthy way or unhealthy. Carol Dweck, professor of Psychology at Stanford University under a subtitle What is Mindset states “A mental attitude that determines how you will interpret and respond to situations.”

You can change your life by changing the blue print in your mind and it all start with words. Words create a mental picture in your mind which becomes and image. Image than rewires the brain to start working to bring that image to pass.
