The Power of the Positive Mind
Be Inspired!
Mindset, mindset, mindset. A word that I only really started to understand when I got interested in psychological therapies during my psychiatry rotation as a junior doctor. At the end of the rotation, my registrar gave me a copy of Mindset – How You Can Fulfil Your Potential by Dr Carol Dwek as a leaving present and told me that I would enjoy reading this book – and boy did I. Up until then, I felt I had grasped the concept of the positive mindset in my own way but lacked the ability to effectively explain this to patients and to convey well the importance of utilising this in daily life. I am not a clinical psychologist, nor a psychotherapist (though I am partly trained in cognitive behaviour therapy), a health coach or a motivational speaker but the world of the internet allows access to them and their expertise. Have a look at the links starting with some of the TED talks and motivational videos.

A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.’ (Greg Reid)
