“What you feed your mind, will lead your life.” ― Kemi Sogunle

In a nutshell mindset is what makes us who we are as a person and our ability to look at the world. Amal Totkay are basically the key points for developing a growth mindset. These are the principles that essentially guide you to be a better person on both scales, personally and professional. Following are the five postulates of Amal Totkay.

We need all these elements to have a healthy mindset for both personal and professional life.

1. SELF TALK

Self talk is mostly the key to have a healthy and efficient mind. Most of the time when we keep doing things without reflecting on our actions and doings it really doesn’t help that much. Self talk helps us reflect on what we have been learning and what not. It helps us to see and monitor our growth with time and it even shows us that what next steps do we need to take in order to get closer to our final goals. The more u know yourself, the more you’ll be able to solve whatever problems you’re facing. Hence it is very important to have a self talk with own self every now and then.

2. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Getting out of your comfort zone is very important for any kind of lifestyle. Because when we get too comfortable in doing something, we become lazy and we only keep repeating the same pattern over and over again. And hence, getting out of your comfort zone should be the first and foremost thing for us before starting a business in corporate sector or even when we start a job.

3. CREATE NEW HABITS

We should always keep on creating new positive habits in ourselves. It helps us embrace the change and it helps in nourishing our growth mindset. When you work hard to indulge yourself in new habits, you’re in a way learning alot from this process. Although change is difficult but it doesn’t has to happen all at once creating a single new habit will produce a lot of change in mindset and contribute to our growth.

4. ASK PEOPLE FOR HELP

Although it can be very intimidating and scary at times but we should ask for help from others in order to have a better understanding of whatever task you’re trying to do. There are always people who are better experienced than us in certain areas and people who can help u by giving constructive feedbacks about your project. Asking help from such kind of people always helps. Remember that feedback is a gift and we should be more than happy to get help in form of gifts.

5. FAKE IT TILL U MAKE IT

Now this is the phrase we should all start living by if we have doubts about ourselves. This phrase can be used interchangeably with this phrase that says ‘practice until you’re perfect’ It means you’ve been to work hard and apply the principle of kam kam kam until you’re sure about yourself and your motives. And i really live by this totka in my life.

All these tips are very important and we should make these a part of our daily lifestyle in order to be successful. Now my favourite tip out of all these tips would be fake it till u make it and making new habits because these tips will help you grow as an individual which will eventually help the growth of a team or the organisation you’re related with.
