Design the mindset you need to get the results you want.
It really really seems like matter is solid. And yet, when we look closer and closer, we find there is actually nothing solid there at all.
Likewise, it really really seems like we are bodies that are alive and conscious. And yet, when we look for that life and consciousness in the brain, nervous system, heart, cells, DNA … it is nowhere to be found.
There are 2 fundamentally different ways to proceed from here:
-
Since it really really seems like matter is solid and life and consciousness are in the body, then assume that they just are.
OR
-
Make the opposite assumption. Although it really really seems like matter is real and life and consciousness are in the body, it must be an illusion, a misunderstanding. OK though, now what?!
Assumption #1 is the standard way of life for most of us. And we’re realizing that at this level of understanding we can find ourselves anxious, depressed, in debt, lonely, sick, frustrated, angry, resentful or purposeless. Of course it's not all bad, but the typical thinking built off of assumption #1 is that we must take the good with the bad, or earn the good by getting through the bad, or continually be worthy of the good or risk falling into the bad.
Since assumption #1 has been normal for so long, collectively as humanity we’ve come up to a brick wall of unsolvable problems from this level of understanding like climate crisis, deteriorating health conditions and polarizing social conditions.
Which brings us back to OK, now what?!
Since we’re no longer assuming that you are your body, the first thing we need is a new understanding of who, or actually it's even deeper, of what you are. We used to experience ourselves as constrained by matter, things like our health or how much money we had and could make. But if there is no substance or reality in matter, what has actually been limiting us all along and how do we demonstrate that material conditions do not affect how we live life?
When we were living under assumption #1 and we needed more information, we found it outside of ourselves. We took aptitude assessments, personality tests, talked to experts and doctors, went to school to learn from other people, found people who already had what we wanted and studied them. This may have worked up to a certain point, but collectively as a species we are beyond that point. And many of us as individuals are beyond that point also.
So instead we go inside for everything we couldn’t learn and find outside ourselves. I know this sounds trite, but stay with me here. After all, your literal birthright is a human body. If we stop looking at it as alive and as you, we can see it as a laboratory made up of various kinds of sensors. And this lab is staffed with YOU! The foremost expert in life and consciousness because you have the only qualification that there really is in that you are alive and conscious. Any other qualifications are a misdirect. The first step in going forward under assumption #2 is to let that soak in.
You might also find it helpful to have a talk about it. And if you’ve made it this far reading this, I’d love to talk to you.
Living under assumption #1 for me led to burnout, working hard to be worthy and prove I’m valuable in all my relationships, personal and professional. Holding my breath anytime life was calm because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Living under assumption #2 is freedom with unlimited resources and unlimited inspiration to go create with them. And it really does happen from just changing the assumptions you are making about yourself and reality.

Mindset Engineer
Hi, I'm Molly
Hi, I’m Molly, the Mindset Engineer life coach. I started my career in the Army as an intelligence analyst and moved on to the corporate world as an engineer at a large aerospace company. I've always had a passion for patterns especially in music and movement, it's what attracted me to physics, chemistry and mechanical engineering in college. So in my career as an engineer I was drawn to data of all sorts, anything I could get my hands on. I was looking for patterns to understand what was going on that we couldn't see or measure directly. After years of working with data with all sorts of teams, technical and non technical, I finally saw that all we were doing with data is drawing the target around the arrow. You've probably heard of confirmation bias but that is just the tip of the iceberg. I dove into this with a fascinated curiosity.
As the company was pushing a data driven decision making initiative, I was coming to realize that data driven decision making is a total myth. We can only ever find in data what we are already looking for, whether we are conscious of what we are looking for or not. And this is not a problem at all! But it is important that we understand what is going on in our thinking as we interact with data (data meaning any and all information about yourself and the world). This became the foundation of my life coaching. The data is helpful, it is a reflection of what we are already believing. If we are looking for the data to give us something different to belief however, we'll never find the evidence we need to change. If however we use the data to inform us of what we are truly believing, that we weren't already aware of, then it is useful. From there, making any change in your life follows an engineering design process that starts on a blank sheet of paper. I lead people in this process of radical transformation and self discovery in which they shift their experience of life to be how they most love to live it.

Working with Veterans
When we entered the military, we went through basic training where we were effectively converted from civilians to soldiers. This was more than just training in our MOS skills, it was a new identity that we became for a period of time. When we left the military, we were not reprogrammed into civilians though. And while we are proud to have served and being a veteran will always be part of your identity, it would be useful to have an updated program running a new civilian career.
The marvelous human mind is like a computer and accepts new programming at any age. My work as a Mindset Engineer teaches people to take their conscious intellectual goals and program them into the subconscious mind so that their habitual behavior achieves that goal. It’s like programming your goal as a destination into a GPS and then having the directions constantly adapt in real time so you just need to get up and follow them to get exactly what you want in life.
Not only can you be reprogrammed into a civilian, but you can be very specific about the next program you want installed. Do you want a certain position at a company? To be an entrepreneur? What kind of impact and role do you want in your community through your work? How much money do you want to make? Where and how do you want to live?
My job is to teach you to reprogram your mindset, your job is to pick the program. We will host monthly online meetings to teach Mindset Engineering and interview successful individuals to expose you to many different income producing strategies and most importantly about the mindset, goals and persistence that everyone used to become successful.
