We all have the ability to change our mind-set to change our core inner beliefs upon which we base our view of ourselves and of the world. But changing our beliefs is not an easy thing to do. 
Most people find changing one small belief extremely difficult, let alone a whole range of self-supporting beliefs based on negative pre-conditioning. What is needed is a tool - a tool for change, that enables us to rapidly install new thought patterns and positive mind-sets, based on proven success models.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MINDSET:

Fortunately, our mind-set regarding certain aspects of our lives are malleable and are based on our choice of meaning we give to things. If we consciously decide to develop a positive mind-set, empowered by positive thinking together with an attitude of joyous expectance of only the best, we put ourselves in the correct frame of mind to propel ourself into proper action while anticipating and expecting successful outcomes.

Your Mindset Can Be Changed:

Often external events and circumstances seem to rush in to assist with our intended result. This knowledge is priceless. The knowledge that our positive mind-set can translate into a world of difference regardless of the goal we seek.
Three Success Mind-Set Fundamentals
1. Mind-Set Self Confidence
2. Mind-Set Determination & Perseverance
3. Mind-Set & Action

Three Success Mind-Set Fundamentals

If we lack belief in ourself and our capabilities, our self esteem suffers. This results not only in a sense of worthlessness but also helplessness and even hopelessness. This in turn makes us feel inadequate and see everything as pointless. It is easy to stop trying to achieve because there is simply no point. We are defeated before we even begin. That's why the correct self confident mind-set is crucial to all other mind-sets we may adopt. First we must tackle the root.
When we have empowered our SELF with the confidence and belief in our SELF then we will be better able to accomplish the things we are already good at and also to learn how to do the things that at present we cannot. Accomplishing our goals and objectives becomes much much easier. We are empowered from the inside out.

1. Mindset Self Confidence

Embracing a positive mindset involves facing failures with determination and resilience, recognizing that setbacks are a natural part of life. How we interpret and react to failures makes all the difference. Rather than viewing failure as a waste of time, a positive mindset sees it as an opportunity for growth.
While some failures indicate that certain goals may be unattainable, distinguishing between learning experiences and insurmountable obstacles is crucial. 
Achieving valuable goals often requires persistent effort, and a positive mindset recognizes that one failure doesn't mark the end of the journey but rather a redirection. True failure only occurs when we cease to try altogether.

2. Mindset Determination & Perseverance:

The correct positive mind-set leads to proactive positive action. Even when we are unsure or unable to proceed because of lack of knowledge or skill, a positive mind-set allows us to research and acquire those skill sets until we are able to achieve the actions we already know are necessary and important to succeed.
A person's core inner beliefs and thought patterns are what lead to their feelings of potentiality, action and results. Simply by changing your mind-set it is possible to change not only our outlook in life by also the actual results we obtain in life.

3. Mindset & Action

Often if we pay attention to our thoughts we may find that we are processing a lot of negative self talk. This knowledge can sometimes be distressing at first and make us feel somewhat powerless over what thoughts are permeating our minds and our lives. 
But if we start by taking just a few of those negative thought patterns at a time and begin changing them into positive thoughts, we will feel much happier, stronger and more in control of our lives. Anyone and everyone can begin using positive statements to create change and improvements in their life.

Monitoring Your Self Talk

All it takes is the commitment to start and experience the positive benefits that this technique can deliver.Once we have committed to change, to monitor our thoughts and to make positive changes to what we allow to flow through our mind, we can begin to focus and target the areas in which we most wish to bring about lasting change. To start to co-create our world and our universe, internally at first and later externally as well.

Instead of allowing our subconscious mind to flounder without a competent leader to direct it, now we can take charge and provide good sensible leadership. 
Directing our thoughts to show that WE ARE IN CONTROL and we are the one who is leading. Leading with authority and with solid direction.

Co-Creation:

It is often hard for people to imagine and accept that there is a possibility that they are co-creating their life and their world. Because if we are to accept that then we must accept that we have also cocreated all that has happened before. In the end it is always up to us. No one can make us make the changes we may need. It is up to us to examine our negative self talk, to take responsibility for it and ultimately to make the conscious choices that lead to a more positive direction.

These are your thoughts, so YOU can change them. Although your beliefs most likely formed when you were young, you are an adult today and you have the power to affect change in your life. 
This is the essence of personal power: choice and responsibility.

YOU & YOUR MINDSET Be Willing To Change:

The fastest way to change your mind-set is to feed your mind the one you want. Every time you feed yourself a positive mind-set, it weakens the negative ones. You will be instantly creating new neurons that form a new more positive neural network. The more you do this the stronger you new neural network will become. Feeding the positive weakens the negative.
Scientists and perennial wisdom agree with what many successful people have long discovered, that neurons don't know the difference between whether you are actually doing something different or simply visualizing doing it differently. Either way, the neural network grows stronger.

Feed The Mindset You Want:

Allow yourself to create a passion for your new mind-set. The new mind-set you want to create. Doing this creates endorphins in your body that lead to a new sense of well being. This in turn leads to a more inspired and emotionally engaged you, having more fun in your life as you enlarge and make stronger your new neural network.

Love Your Mindset:

Pick one thing you want to change today. It can be one attitude, one belief, or one perspective. Imagine for a moment what you want instead. Let your imagination run wild for just a moment. 
Remember any resistance is just your old neural network playing up as usual. Use the power of your imagination to vividly picture what you really want. Mentally rehearse this for just 10 minutes a day strengthening it by adding enthusiasm, inspiration, and fun. Soon you will be taking small actions that will reinforce your new mind-set.

How to Change Your Mindset

We spend a lot of time researching and learning as much as possible about what we want to do and how to do it.
We spend a significant amount of time seeking the perfect way to do something.

Research

But we all know we are just procrastinating. We just don't want to do it, so we fool ourselves by telling ourselves that we are working on that idea. However, the reality is that we are just wasting our time.

Time Is Important 

We all know that we should wake up early, exercise, eat healthy food, meditate, and start making a schedule for our tasks and other things.However, what do we really do? We just start searching on Google and YouTube for ways to be productive, how to do our work effectively and efficiently.

Don't Ignore Your Own's Advice

Stop wasting time on "Change your life in 15 days" videos, it takes hard work, discipline, and time for real change.
Don't rely on other people's timetables and schedules, find what works for you through self-discovery and discipline.

Don't Fall for Quick Fix Promises

"So, stop searching and start acting on your thoughts. You don't always need advice from the outside. Sometimes, you already know what you have to do and how. Believe in yourself."

Believe 

Start by waking up half an hour before your usual time. Begin with light exercises for at least 5-10 minutes. Then, try creating your own schedule based on your own ideas. Through trial and error, you will improve each day.

Begin

I'm not saying you should not conduct research, because sometimes it reveals things we didn't already know. However, we should not overdo it and waste time.

Little Help Can Be Beneficial 

Sometimes we ignore the things we know

Stop Doubting and Start Believing. Do let me know in comments how can I improve or what are your thoughts about this. Have a memorable day 😇

10 Lessons from Second Chance:

The world is changing, and we need to change with it.
The Industrial Age is over, and the Information Age is moving at an ever-increasing pace. The old rules of money and investing no longer apply. If we want to succeed in the new world, we need to learn new ways of thinking and acting.

Lesson 1

The key to success is to understand the difference between assets and liabilities.
An asset is something that puts money in your pocket. A liability is something that takes money out of your pocket. If you want to be rich, you need to focus on acquiring assets and getting rid of liabilities.

Lesson 2

The rich don't work for money; money works for them.
The rich use their money to make more money. They invest in assets that generate income, such as real estate, stocks, and businesses. The poor work for money and spend it as they earn it.

Lesson 3

You need to be financially educated to succeed in the new world.
Financial education is the most important skill you can have in the new world. It will teach you how to make money, save money, and invest money. Without financial education, you are doomed to fail financially.

Lesson 4

You need to be a creative thinker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of opportunities, but you need to be creative to find them. You need to be able to think outside the box and come up with new solutions to old problems.

Lesson 5

You need to be a risk-taker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of risks, but you need to be willing to take risks to succeed. If you're not willing to take risks, you'll never achieve your full potential.

Lesson 6

You need to be persistent to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of setbacks, but you need to be persistent to succeed. If you give up at the first sign of trouble, you'll never achieve your goals.

Lesson 7

You need to be a lifelong learner to succeed in the new world.
The new world is constantly changing, so you need to be a lifelong learner. You need to be constantly learning new things and adapting to new challenges.

Lesson 8

You need to be a global thinker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is a global economy, so you need to be a global thinker. You need to understand the different cultures and markets around the world.

Lesson 9

You need to be a positive thinker to succeed in the new world.
The new world is full of challenges, but you need to be a positive thinker to succeed. If you have a negative attitude, you'll never achieve your goals

Lesson 10

10 lessons from Second Chance: for Your Money, Your Life and Our World by Robert. Kiyosaki and Tim Wheeler.

Few would argue with the fact that, on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis or a moral crisis. The two side to crisis are danger and opportunity. Robert Kiyosaki's new book, Second Chance...for Your Money and Your Life, uses the lessons from the past and a brutal assessment of the present to prepare readers to see---and seize---the future. If readers can train their minds to see what their eyes cannot, in a world that is becoming increasingly more 'invisible' and moving at a high rate of speed, they can have a second chance at creating the life they've always wanted. The global problems we face cannot be solved by the same minds and people who created them and today's world demands the ability to see the future and prepare for what lies ahead...prepare for the opportunities as well as the challenges. Like it or not, we are all involved in the greatest evolutionary event in human history. The Industrial Age is over and the Information Age continues to accelerate. The visible agents of change have become invisible...and harder to see. And the future belongs to those who can train their minds, use the past to see the future, and take the steps to create the positive change they want to see in their lives. Second Chance is a guide to understanding how the past will shape the future and how you can use Information Age tools and insights to create a fresh start. This book is a guide to facing head-on the dangers of the crises around us--and steps and tips for seizing the opportunities they present.

Kiyosaki is best known for his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, the #1 New York Times bestseller. Kiyosaki followed with Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant and Rich Dad's Guide to Investing.

10 Very Short Books you can Read to Finish your Year Strong

Indonesian Constitution 1945 stated that the rights to a clean and healthy environment fall on country responsibility, to which I can conclude that environment is a thing that we have- a right.

Environment

According to the ecocentrism theory, environment is not a right, it is placed horizontal with human- an integral part of life.

Does Environment A Right?

Environment, nature cannot be seen as a right for it bears an important relationship to life as humans do.

L. J. Apeldoorn said that law subject have some important conditions to be met, one of those is competent to take a responsible act- competent of law; law competence. On contrary, Peter Mahmud Marzuki claim that a subject of law is not necessarily a human, for if it can met the conditions of a law subject then it can be given the status of legal subject but not as natural subject but as a derivative legal subject e.g. corporate etc.

Environment as Subject of Law

Ecuador constitution state that environment is a subject of law, furthermore it adds that everyone (without limiting their nationality etc.) can contest in court if he find out and prove that there are violation regarding environment- nature.

Three Approaches To Research

is an approach for testing objective theories by examining the relationship among variables.These variables, in turn, can be measured, typically on instruments, so that numbered data can be analyzed using statistical procedures. The final written report has a set structure consisting of introduction, literature and theory, methods, results, and discussion.

“Quantitative Research”

is an approach for exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem.The process of research involves emerging questions and procedures, data typically collected in the participant’s setting, data analysis inductively building from particulars to general themes, and the researcher making interpretations of the meaning of the data.

“Qualitative Research”

is an approach to inquiry involving collecting both quantitative and qualitative data, integrating the two forms of data, and using distinct designs that may involve philosophical assumptions and theoretical frameworks.The core assumption of this form of inquiry is that the integration of qualitative and quantitative data yields additional insight beyond the information provided by either the quantitative or qualitative data alone.

“Mixed-Methods Research”

Learning research designs and how to step in...!

The eagerly anticipated Fourth Edition of the title that pioneered the comparison of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research design is here! For all three approaches, Creswell includes a preliminary consideration of philosophical assumptions, a review of the literature, an assessment of the use of theory in research approaches, and refl ections about the importance of writing and ethics in scholarly inquiry. He also presents the key elements of the research process, giving specifi c attention to each approach. The Fourth Edition includes extensively revised mixed methods coverage, increased coverage of ethical issues in research, and an expanded emphasis on worldview perspectives.

7 Steps to Your Best Self!

As 2024 approaches, it's the perfect time to refresh our study habits. This thread presents 5 essential <a href="https://productive.fish/blog/how-to-study-effectively/">tips for effective studying</a> in 2024 combining innovative techniques with proven strategies. Whether you're a student, professional, or lifelong learner, these tips are tailored to help you learn smarter and achieve more. Let's dive in!

How to Study Effectively in 2024

Designate a specific area in your home as your study zone. Additionally, consider whether you'll be studying solo or in a group. Establishing this space allows you to tackle your studies more methodically and effectively.

Choose a Study Spot

Prioritizing tasks based on their importance is a crucial step in any study routine. Employing<a href="https://productive.fish/blog/how-to-prioritize-tasks/"> techniques to rank tasks</a> helps lower stress by concentrating on one assignment at a time, giving you more control over your workload. Failing to prioritize can lead to wasted time on less important tasks, negatively impacting overall productivity."

Prioritize Tasks

The bite-sized learning approach, as implied by its name, involves absorbing information in small segments or dedicating brief periods to study sessions. Given the ongoing decrease in attention spans in the 21st century, it's increasingly crucial to limit study sessions to 1-15 minutes per learning objective. The concentration maintained during these short intervals enhances the effectiveness of learning.

Adopt Bite-Sized Learning

The <a href="https://productive.fish/blog/spaced-repetition/">spaced repetition system</a> is a technique where you space out your study sessions. By incorporating breaks between your study times, you can remember more even with less overall study time. This method utilizes the 'spacing effect,' which is the principle that our brain learns more efficiently when there are intervals between being exposed to new information.To apply this method effectively, imagine you have an exam next week. Start with a study session today, then schedule your next one for two days later. Finally, have one last session the day before your exam.

Be Consistent

Meditation enhances focus and concentration, both vital for successful learning. By practicing mindfulness and focusing on the present, it becomes easier to minimize distractions and sustain intense concentration while studying.
