Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life: A Guide for Leaders Who Want More With Less

Want a Better Life? Start by Changing Your Mindset

Let’s skip the guru fluff and get to the part where your life actually starts feeling like something you chose—not something you accidentally subscribed to and forgot to cancel.

If you’re a leader who secretly Googles "how to do less and get more" between Zoom calls and existential dread, welcome. You’re our people. And this blog is for you.

Step 1: Call Out the Mind Gremlins

Your brain is basically a nightclub with a bouncer that only lets in thoughts you already believe. It processes over 40 million bits of information per second (yes, million). But guess what? You only consciously absorb 5 to 7 chunks of that. The rest? Straight to the mental junk drawer (aka your unconscious).

So if you believe "I have to hustle to succeed," then congratulations—your brain is filtering out every example of ease, flow, and working smarter. Want a better filter? Change the belief.

Step 2: Gratitude Is the Gateway Drug

No, you don’t have to start a gratitude journal and write daily love letters to your coffee mug. But here’s the deal: gratitude shifts your focus from what’s missing to what’s working. That shift isn’t just feel-good fluff—it rewires your brain. Greater Good Science Center breaks it down.

 Gratitude gives your brain evidence that your life isn’t a dumpster fire, even if it feels like one some days. And when your brain has evidence? It starts to believe a better story.

Step 3: Your Beliefs Are the Script. Edit Them.

Imagine trying to run a company with a playbook written by a sleep-deprived intern in 2009. That’s your belief system if you haven’t updated it.

It’s time to ask: Do I believe I can grow with ease? That success can feel good? That I can get results without grinding myself into a fine dust?

Because if not—your unconscious mind is storing those "flow" opportunities in the vault you never check.

Psychology Today gets nerdy about this.

Step 4: Reality-Check Your Present. Dream Your Future.

Here’s the paradox: You can be deeply grateful for the good stuff now and still be wildly excited about what’s next. It’s not either/or.

Want to feel better now? Start by naming three things that don’t suck. Want to get excited about the future? Imagine it, vividly, and give your brain a vision it actually wants to chase.

Step 5: Get Help That Works With Your Wiring (Not Against It)

If you’ve tried all the hacks, courses, and mindset bootcamps and still feel stuck, here’s a radical idea: maybe the problem isn’t you. Maybe you just need support that actually adapts to how you work best.
