Triple A Mindsets. Agency, Acceptance and Appreciation

Appreciation is being thankful for the moment and future possibilities

It was such a privilege to speak at our Excellence Assembly, particularly about mindsets. These 3 incredible mindsets can redirect the way you are and the way you see your world. Everyone has these mindset muscles, and we don’t know we have, but once we know them and understand them, we can tap into them. Let’s take Agency. Not many people know and understand what Agency is.

We talk about it but really do we know what it really is. In the simplest form, it is how we choose to react and respond to events in our lives. It is not what happens to us, it is how we respond. That is incredibly powerful, that we get to decide how we respond to our environment, not dependant on the environment to be our mindset. Another mindset muscle is Acceptance. We can accept the things we can’t control and let them go, rather focussing on the things we can control. And finally, the Appreciation Mindset, appreciating the small things. Focusing on what we have, not whingeing and moaning on what we don’t. Appreciating what brings light to our days. If we have a mindset of Appreciation, it sets your course, your day and your week and your life with a totally different mindset. The challenge, as we come to the end of Mental Health Month, use the Triple A mindsets for a week, and see how it changes your view of the world. #Mindsets #TripleA
