Mind Set | written by: CHUCK HATCHETT, Depot Workshop Leader
Imagine a life where anxiety is replaced by confidence, where setbacks are seen as stepping stones, and where growth is the norm—a life where you embrace challenges as opportunities, where you lead with positivity, and anxiety is no match for your determination. There is a limitless potential within each of us to do just that—to overcome anxiety and shape our destiny, regardless of our background or circumstances.
It is built on an unwavering commitment to mastering mindset because conquering anxiety starts by understanding that your thoughts can either empower you or hinder you. (There is an undeniable connection between a resilient mindset and success.) It progresses by remembering that your journey is a series of battles, and the most significant battle is the one within your mind.

Mastering mindset centers on these four pillars:
1 Contrasting Mindsets: Build Your Rich Mindset. Embrace the power of contrast. Recognize the attributes of a poor mindset that fuel anxiety and swap them for the attributes of a rich mindset that lead to triumph. Transform negative self-talk into positive self-belief.
2 Building Resilience: Your Armor Against Anxiety. Life is a battlefield and resilience is your armor. You can face anxiety head on with an unshakeable belief in your ability to overcome.
3 Mindset Killers: Unveil and Defeat Them. To conquer anxiety, you must identify its roots—your mindset killers. Are they false expectations, pride, negativity or bitterness? Perhaps your mindset killers are comparing up, an entitlement mentality or self-pity. Whatever obstacles are causing anxiety and sabotaging your progress, eradicate them and pave the way to peace of mind and the unbridled growth that can come with it.
4 Setting the Stage for Growth: Your Launchpad to Success. The secret to conquering anxiety lies in cultivating a growth-oriented mindset to intentionally fuel your personal and professional development.
When you harness the power of a rich mindset, you replace self-doubt with self-belief, stand strong against anxiety and empower yourself to lead a life of purpose, positivity, and unstoppable success.
