5 Mindset Shifts Every Multi-Passionate Needs to Flip the Script.

In partnership with

Let’s talk about it.

Infatuation is a gift and a curse.

The ability to feel a state of intense but usually short-lived feeling of passion or admiration.

Now usually this would be directed to an individual, but that’s boring. People show you what they want to so it becomes superficial and it’s usually a false rush.

Now moving away from that, it’s so easy to fall in love with the wrong things.

Becoming infatuated by a process or a feeling of contentment. As a guy going through constant growth, I believe you can’t get lost in the process of your own feelings.

You might ask yourself, “Why am I falling behind?”

“Why can’t I stay consistent?”

“I should just stick to one thing.”

That’s the trap built to keep you stuck. You waste time thinking about trivial things when you could be taking action.

I say this with the utmost experience because I talk a lot about how I wasted time doing things with no direction.

I had no purpose established; my ‘why’ wasn’t strong enough and I did stuff I was comfortable with rather than the hard things that actually helped me to grow.

If you’re in my position, it’s all about rewiring your thought process and disregarding any conditions or feelings that make you feel comfortable.

Now I’m not saying you need to be living in a war zone daily or constantly be in a state of fear, but the top 1% of people did things that they weren’t comfortable with.

These are the 5 shifts that helped me switch up my mindset.

1. From Self-Criticism to Self-Awareness.

"I always sabotage my momentum."

I started looking at what I could do better. Comparison is a thief.

Instead of criticizing myself based on where someone else is in their journey, I needed to become aware of what I’m capable of and how I could get to where I want to be.

I see YouTubers talk about “How I became Fluent in Japanese in 30 days.” Maybe they did or maybe they’re looking to garner views. Either way I shouldn’t beat myself up because I’m not like them; I should be aware of my short-term goals and what I need to do to build towards my overall target.

This switch helped me audit my routines instead of blaming myself.

2. From All or Nothing to Always Something.

"If I can’t go all in, what’s the point?"

Small steps still move the needle.

We expect to go all in at the start, and once we don’t see the results we want, we switch up or quit. I’m way too guilty of that.

When I properly started my multi-passionate journey 6 months ago, I was overwhelmed.

I saw big name and big claims.

Now it's wild to me that 90% of the people I saw have quit.

Results don’t come immediately.

Results come from staying in the game.

There’s a reason why the long game works.

On or off days, I still need to get it done. I started learning Arabic with 5-minute sessions on heavy days; it's still progress. The quick home workouts still shape your body through the consistent reps.

3. From Scarcity to Stack.

"I don’t have time for all my interests."

I started looking at how I can build systems that stack habits across interests.

Habit stacking is a thing of beauty where starting small starts to help you get accustomed to that thing.

You don’t need half a day on one interest to make progress. I realised that when I could combine a physical interest with a creative one, or a spiritual one with a physical one.

• Reading the Quran means I’m reading Arabic, which helps with identifying words that are similar to the Levantine dialect that I’m learning.

• Music goes off at the gym, and it’s better for my comprehension when I’ve got a podcast about travel in French or Arabic.

• My language learning or thread writing happens during walks, workouts or even between my job.

I always provide examples because for me, I’m always making sure I’m doing something that moves the needle.

4. From Outcome-Focused to Identity-Focused.

"I need to hit this goal fast."

I started looking at who I need to become to sustain this long-term.

Short-term goals are easy. But they should compound up daily and take me towards my desired destination. The key is to make sure they are achievable and measurable.

I can’t expect to become someone who uses another person’s method or lifting technique. I should be working with my own ability to smash targets that are realistic.

This means that while metrics are important, they shouldn’t be the sole focus because there’s a lot about growth that you can’t measure. Take followers for example; you might have 1000 followers with higher conversions than someone with 100k.

Instead of tracking the numbers and data, detach from short-term results and look to fall in love with the periodical process.

5. From Comparison to Calibration.

"Everyone's ahead of me."

Natural human behavior, especially because we have desires to be like people who are more successful or established.

Instead I looked at what I can learn from their systems, not their speed. There’s a reason they got to where they are but everyone’s journey is different, no matter how much you replicate someone’s process.

You won’t fully understand the ups and downs they went through, the constant failures and inconsistencies.

This let me borrow strategy without spiraling into self-doubt. Now I tailor parts of people’s success for my own.

There's a lot of inspiration on here. I use it to my advantage.

These shifts didn’t happen overnight.

But they rewired how I show up daily in my journey, especially balancing multiple interests where I need to stay locked in on the elements that help me to grow.

If I just did the things that I’m ‘infatuated’ with or that I enjoy, then I won’t grow and hit my targets.

Building muscle becomes about getting accustomed to pain. Fluency in a language is about embracing the stumbles. Writing is about ignoring the judgment and pushing on.

The bottom line

If you're building your own multi-passionate lane, these mindset upgrades will keep you steady.

I've burnt out before. I've lost motivation many times.

And now? I'm in love with the process of building.

Locking in is easy by definition, but if your mindset doesn't reflect that, you can't grow and progress to your maximum potential.

Your challenge for this week: There’s always something you can shift. It all starts with the small steps.

• Instead of criticising, could you be more self-aware of changes you need to make?

• Instead of expecting to go all in, what can you break down into smaller chunks?

• Instead of trying to find the time, what interest can you slowly add on to a habit or task?

• Instead of comparing with others journey, look to see what you can learn from them.

It’s difficult when you’ve been accustomed to a set mindset, but switching it up really makes the difference. It’s enabled me to have more gratitude, humility and learning to enjoy the growth process.

It’s not pretty, but it gives you a sense of purpose. Something most lack with their short attention spans and desires for quick dopamine.
