I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
—Carl Jung
What if the way you see yourself could transform your energy, health, and potential—starting today?
Ellen Langer’s groundbreaking research reveals a powerful truth: the power of mindset – the stories we tell ourselves about who we are – can either limit us or set us free.
Transform Your Life with the Power of Mindset
Many of us get stuck in labels and roles, letting them define us. But when we adopt a more mindful mindset, we unlock the ability to see ourselves not as fixed but as ever-evolving. This simple shift opens the door to greater vitality, resilience, and possibility.
Take Langer’s fascinating Counterclockwise experiment. She recreated a world from decades past, inviting older adults to live as if they were younger. The results? Stunning. Participants not only felt younger—they became physically stronger and mentally sharper.
The lesson is clear: the way we think about ourselves profoundly shapes how we live.
Langer reminds us that much of our identity is shaped by societal norms and self-imposed limits. But when we challenge these through mindful awareness, we can redefine what’s possible.
With intention and curiosity, we can shed outdated assumptions, embrace our dynamic selves, and reignite our energy at any stage of life. The power of mindset encourages us to see ourselves as fluid and capable of continuous growth, no matter where we begin.
A Simple Exercise to Unlock the New You
Let’s take this one step further and do an exercise together.
1) Take out your journal and a pen.
2) At the top of the page, write “A Gap Analysis of My Desired Life”.
3) Create three vertical columns on the page. The left column is titled “Where I Am Now” and the right column is titled “Where I Want to Be”. The center column is left blank for now.
4) Think through all the areas of your life (e.g., health and wellness, financial stability and abundance, relationships and social life, spirituality and fulfillment, happiness, agency, impact, personal identity and growth, and creativity and personal expression).
5) Fill out the two columns as you focus on the key areas of your life you’d like to change.
6) Study your Now vs Future lists. What is the gap? What needs to happen to leap over the gap to your desired future? Write your ideas and notes in the center of the page.
7) As you study your notes and ideas in that center column, ask yourself, What version of me has to show up to make this happen? Write down a detailed description of this new you on a separate page in your journal.
8) Free-write for about 20 minutes as to specifically what you need to think and believe to ignite change. Distill these notes into a bulleted list on a new page in your journal labeled “Mindset Magic.”
9) Each morning, take 2-3 minutes to turn to the Mindset Magic page in your journal, using it as a reminder to reconnect with your mindfulness practice and recommit to your growth.
Who Will You Choose to Become?
Change begins with a decision—the decision to view ourselves as dynamic and capable of growth, rather than confined by fixed definitions. (If you’d like some help with this, join us tomorrow in my free masterclass.)
We hold the power to shape our own stories and life experiences, rewriting old narratives and embracing new possibilities. Through the power of mindset, we can take that first step toward becoming who we are meant to be.
Who will you choose to become?
The answer is ours to create, one mindful decision at a time.
