What you watch
Consider streaming, television, news, and the content that gets your attention when you want to switch off.
Awareness Comes First
If you don’t like your results, start with your inputs.
The Mindset Inventory® helps you take an honest look at what you watch, read, scroll through, listen to, and who you regularly allow into your life. These inputs influence how you think, what you believe, the actions you take, and ultimately the results you create.
The Inputs-to-Results Progression
Your results begin with what you consume.
What you allow into your attention does not stop there. It moves through a clear progression that influences the patterns and outcomes you experience.
1. What You ConsumeWhat you watch, read, scroll, listen to, and who surrounds you.
2. Shapes Your ThoughtsThe ideas and internal dialogue that get repeated in your mind.
3. Forms Your BeliefsWhat you come to accept as true about yourself, others, and what is possible.
4. Fuels Your ActionsThe decisions, habits, reactions, and behaviors that follow.
5. Dictates Your ResultsThe outcomes and recurring patterns you experience in your life.
If you don’t like the results you’re seeing in your life, look closely at what you’re taking in and where you’re focusing your attention. Changing those inputs can begin to reshape the thoughts, beliefs, and actions that create your results.
Take an Honest Look
What is filling your “whitespace” time?
Whitespace time is the unstructured space between obligations—the moments when you can recharge and reflect, or slip into familiar habits that leave you drained.
What you read and hear
Notice the books, websites, podcasts, music, and messages you return to most often.
What you scroll
Look at social media, YouTube, games, and the places where a few minutes can quietly become much longer.
Who and what surrounds you
Pay attention to the people, conversations, routines, and environments that influence how you feel and show up.

The Mindset Inventory® is featured in What the Funk?!, where Molly shares her own experience of asking herself these same questions—and how changing what she consumed and focused on helped her pivot out of the funk. It is a tool she still uses regularly whenever her results signal that it may be time to reassess her inputs.
