Change Your Life by Changing Your Mindset | Keri Roberts

In episode 247, Taylor speaks to Keri Roberts about the importance and origin of mindset. Our mindset is crafted from a number of things out of our control – how we were raised, our culture, where we were born – and these characteristics, defined in childhood, follow us through our adult life. So how do we change our mindset?

Take Time in Nature

The first step is spending time alone, ideally in nature. Spend time by yourself in silence, sit with your thoughts, and reflect.

At the end of the day, remember that you’re in control of your life and you’re the only person living your life. No one else is. And so you have to figure out what are the things that make you happy. It’s not somebody else’s responsibility to do that. It’s yours, it’s not your parents or your spouses and so taking the time to really figure out what that means, and it doesn’t have to be a work thing, but just understand like you are in control of your life and how you live it and what you want to do, and to take action, to get as close to how you want to be living as possible.

Find Your 1%

Keri shares an impactful quote from her father:

My dad always says, Keri, 10% of people get it. 1% really get it. And I’ve talked to a ton of people. He’s right.

And what that means is, they get it about life. You know, they get your values, they get what it means to be a good person. It’s in some ways, it’s kind of upsetting to hear that statistic. Yet at the same time, I think it’s very true.
