Welcome back to the 2040 Vision with Helena and Jason! In Episode 4, they dive deep into the power of mindset and how we frame our perspective. This is an ongoing journey for many, and the hosts explore practical ways to cultivate a growth mindset. They discuss the concept of "fake it till you make it," clarifying that it's about adopting a mind frame of success and using empowering language rather than attempting tasks beyond one's current abilities.

The episode contrasts fixed versus growth mindsets, using a personal anecdote about Helena overcoming challenges during an exam. They emphasize that failures are opportunities for learning and growth. Practical techniques for shifting mindset are explored, such as changing "I have to" to "I get to", pausing before responding, and showing gratitude.

Helena and Jason highlight the importance of inner self-talk and speaking to oneself kindly. They also touch upon reframing situations and finding perspective through comparison. A helpful tool mentioned is keeping a challenge journal to reflect on and learn from obstacles. The book "Get Out of Your Own Way" by Mark Goulston is recommended for further exploration.

The hosts encourage listeners to engage by sharing their experiences with mindset challenges, how they overcame them, and any positive affirmation words they use.
