Mindset Monday: How to RESET Your MINDSET and Rewrite Your Future!

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “This is just who I am… I can’t change”?
What if that belief is the very thing holding you back—and what if you could reset it starting today?

In this Mindset Monday, we’re diving into how to RESET Your Mindset so you can stop replaying old mental programs and start consciously creating a new reality—drawing inspiration from thought leaders like Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bruce Lipton, David Goggins, Jay Shetty, Robin Sharma, Simon Sinek, and others.


A Relatable Scenario: Stuck in the Same Loop

Imagine this:

It’s Monday morning.
You hit snooze three times, scroll social media, and already feel behind before your feet touch the floor.

You intend to:

  • Eat healthier

  • Work out

  • Finally start that side project

  • Be more patient with your family or team

But by 3 PM, you’re tired, stressed, and your old habits take over: junk food, procrastination, mindless scrolling, maybe some self-criticism:
“Why can’t I just get it together?”

By the end of the week, you promise yourself:

“Next Monday, I’ll start fresh.”

But next Monday looks a lot like the last one.

This isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a mindset program problem.

You’re not “broken”—you’re just running an outdated mental script!


A Quote to Frame It

“The subconscious mind is like a tape player. Until you change the tape, it will keep playing the same story.”
Dr. Bruce Lipton

If your inner tape says:

  • “I’m not disciplined.”

  • “I’ll always struggle with money.”

  • “I’m just not confident.”

…then no matter how hard you push, your mind will keep pulling you back to match that internal script.

The good news? Tapes can be changed. Programs can be rewritten. Mindsets can be reset.

What Does It Mean to RESET Your Mindset?

Resetting your mindset means consciously interrupting old patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior, and installing new ones that align with the life you actually want.

Here’s how the core concept breaks down, inspired by voices like Joe Dispenza, Jim Rohn, and David Goggins:

  1. Awareness of the Old Program
    You first notice the loop:

    • Automatic negative thoughts

    • Self-sabotaging habits

    • Emotional triggers that instantly derail you

    Joe Dispenza teaches that you must “become aware of who you are being”—your thoughts, feelings, and actions on autopilot.

  2. Understanding Your Brain and Beliefs

    • Dr. Bruce Lipton explains that many of our deepest beliefs were programmed early in life and run subconsciously.

    • These beliefs drive our behavior more than logic or willpower.

    Resetting your mindset isn’t about “trying harder”—it’s about upgrading the underlying belief system.

  3. Choosing a New Identity
    David Goggins talks about going from “weak” to “the hardest man in the room” by relentlessly reshaping his identity.
    Instead of:

    • “I’m not a morning person,” → “I am someone who honors my mornings.”

    • “I’m bad with money,” → “I am someone who learns and grows financially.”

    You decide who you are becoming, not just who you’ve been.

  4. Aligning Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions

    • Robin Sharma teaches that small daily habits lead to big life changes.

    • Simon Sinek reminds us to start with why—your deeper reason.

    A reset mindset is when your thoughts, emotions, and actions agree with your new identity!


Before we go into the practical steps, take a few minutes to watch this powerful “RESET Your MINDSET” video—featuring Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bruce Lipton, David Goggins, Jay Shetty, and more—to prime your mind for everything you’re about to apply!

Now that your mind is fired up and focused, let’s turn that inspiration into daily action with a simple, step‑by‑step way to reset your mindset.


How to Use This Concept in Daily Life

Let’s make this practical. Here’s how RESET works as a simple framework:

R – Recognize the Pattern
Catch yourself in real time:

  • “I always quit when it gets hard.”

  • “I’m about to numb out with my phone again.”

  • “I talk myself out of taking risks.”

Name it:

“This is my old program. It’s not who I’m choosing to be.”

E – Examine the Story
Ask:

  • “What story am I telling myself right now?”

  • “Where did I learn this?”

  • “Is this absolutely true—or just familiar?”

Often, you’ll realize it’s not truth; it’s habit.

S – Select a New Belief
Choose a belief that is:

  • Empowering

  • Slightly beyond your comfort zone

  • Still believable

Examples:

  • “I’m becoming more disciplined every day.”

  • “I’m learning how to handle discomfort instead of running from it.”

  • “I’m capable of doing hard things in small steps.”

E – Engage New Behavior
Back your belief with one small action:

  • If your new belief is “I’m someone who follows through,” send that email, do that 5-minute workout, or open that document you’ve been avoiding.

  • Action is the proof your brain needs.

T – Train It Daily
Like Mark Cuban talks about in business or athletes do in the gym—repetition creates reality.

  • The more consistently you repeat the new thought + feeling + action, the faster the reset becomes your new normal.


The Missing Piece: Getting Your Brain into the Right State

One of the fastest ways to reset your mindset is to work with your brainwaves instead of against them.

In the theta brainwave state (the relaxed, meditative state between sleep and waking), your subconscious mind is more open, receptive, and “programmable”—exactly what you want when you’re installing new beliefs and identities.

That’s why I created a free 5-Minute Theta Morning Routine!

It’s designed to help you:

  • Gently shift into a theta-like state in the morning

  • Release yesterday’s mental clutter

  • Install one clear, empowering identity statement for the day

  • Start your morning calm, focused, and aligned—in just five minutes

You can use this routine as your daily mindset reset button, especially on Mondays when you want to start the week strong.

Use the 5-Minute Theta Morning Routine to make everything you’re reading in this post not just “good advice,” but a daily practice that actually changes your brain.

⏱️A Simple 5-Minute Mindset RESET (Do This Today)

Here’s a 5-minute action plan you can use right now to RESET your mindset:

1. One Minute – Notice Your Loop

Grab a pen and paper or notes app. Answer:

  • What area feels stuck? (Health, money, career, relationships, confidence?)

  • Write one recurring thought you have about it.

    • Example: “I’ll never get in shape.” / “No one notices my work.”

2. One Minute – Challenge the Thought

Ask:

  • “Is this a fact or a story?”

  • “Can I find three examples where this wasn’t true?”

Write those examples down to weaken the old belief.

3. One Minute – Choose a New Identity Statement

Create a short, powerful identity statement:

  • “I am someone who shows up for my health daily.”

  • “I am a valuable contributor and I make my work visible.”

  • “I am learning to handle discomfort and grow from it.”

Say it out loud. (Yes, really.)

4. One Minute – Take a Micro-Action

Do one small action aligned with your new identity:

  • Do 10 push-ups or a 1-minute walk.

  • Send one email showcasing your work.

  • Spend 60 seconds in silence and deep breathing instead of scrolling.

Small actions are how you earn trust with yourself again.

5. One Minute – Lock It In with Emotion

Close your eyes for 60 seconds and:

  • Visualize yourself living as this new identity.

  • Feel the pride, confidence, and calm of that version of you.

Joe Dispenza emphasizes that emotion + intention is what rewires the brain. Don’t just think it—feel it!

Short FAQ: Resetting Your Mindset

Q1: How long does it take to really reset a mindset?
A: It varies, but many habits and thought patterns can start shifting noticeably in 30–60 days of consistent practice. Your brain changes through repetition. Think of it like building a muscle—you won’t see instant results in one workout, but daily reps compound over time. Pairing that with a short daily practice—like the 5-Minute Theta Morning Routine—can accelerate the shift.


Q2: What if my environment or people around me don’t support my new mindset?
A: You may not be able to change others immediately, but you can:

  • Set boundaries around your time and energy.

  • Limit exposure to constant negativity.

  • Add even one positive influence—books, podcasts, mentors, or online communities that align with your new mindset.

As Jim Rohn famously said, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Start intentionally choosing those influences—even if they’re virtual at first.


Q3: I’ve tried to change before and always end up back where I started. What makes this different?
A: Most people rely on willpower and motivation alone. This approach focuses on:

  • Awareness of the old program

  • Identity-level change (“who I am becoming”)

  • Tiny daily actions that prove the new story

  • And, ideally, a consistent daily practice (like your theta routine) that gently reconditions the subconscious

You’re not trying to force change from the outside; you’re reprogramming from the inside out. Even if you slip, you haven’t failed—you simply noticed an old program and can reset again.

Your Mindset Monday Challenge

Today, don’t just think about resetting your mindset—practice it.

Before you move on with your day, do this:

  2. Write one new identity statement that you’re choosing instead.

  3. Take one tiny aligned action in the next 5 minutes.

  4. Tomorrow morning, use the 👉5-Minute Theta Morning Routine🎯 to reinforce that new identity before your day even starts.

You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a decision and a first step.

✅This is your reminder!
✅You are not your past. You are not your old program.
✅You are the conscious author of your next chapter!!
