Strength in Core Thinking
By: Eileen Bild
Only when I committed to deep self-work to improve my leadership did I realize how much of my mindset was influenced by others’ beliefs.
Beliefs are our deeply held assumptions and convictions about ourselves, others, and the world around us. They shape our thoughts, influence our behaviors, express themselves in how we show up, and play a pivotal role in how we interpret our experiences. Understanding and refining our beliefs, going inward for understanding, is essential to fostering a healthy mindset and maintaining mental well-being.
Just because you have a belief does not mean you need to keep it!
Stanford psychologist Lee Ross explains that people systematically ignore the situational forces shaping behavior. This is called the “Fundamental Attribution Error.” The error comes from our inclination to attribute our behavior to “the way I am” instead of to “the situation I’m in”.
Create new situations with new beliefs and thinking. Do you want an uphill battle or an easy ride downstream? New habits can form with better outcomes, and stress can be reduced or transformed.
In life, patterns exist within our thinking, actions, and perceptions. The Core Thinking Blueprint Method outlines a pattern of breaking down to building up.
As part of this proven process, there is a specific transition period where forward movement occurs, success becomes part of experiences, new thinking and habits are established, and mindfulness becomes part of decision-making.
You can evolve from limited thinking to an expanded grasp and execution of core leadership principles:
Level 1: Limiting Mindset, Understanding Foundation
Level 2: Conflict, Move Towards Self-Responsibility
Level 3: Self-Awareness, Change in Thinking
Self-awareness takes hold, and you rise to a new level of commitment. Connection, cooperation, and clarity become your focal points.
A client of mine was in a place where his anger was so intense that he could not get out of his way. We worked to identify where this anger came from and how it held him back. Through the discovery process, he began to see his weakness in his limiting mindset, needing to let go of the past and build a foundation through self-awareness. This created opportunities to rethink his experiences and develop new skills that shifted anger into observation, giving him better communication and success.
