Description
You know what you believe. So why does the old pattern keep making the call?
In the Restricted Mindset, your purpose is felt but not yet named. Your values are real but untested under pressure. Your conscience speaks, and you override it to stay safe, stay silent, or stay small. That’s not a flaw. It’s a pattern you’ve practiced, and anything practiced can be practiced differently.
Name What Grounds You™ is your starting point in the Spirit domain of the JOY Ecosystem™. Through the JOY Free Will–Conscience System™ and the AOC Process™ (Awareness → Options → Choice), you’ll stop guessing where you’re stuck and start choosing on purpose.
What you’ll walk away with
- A precise starting point. You’ll know which of the five Spirit Capacities is most restricted right now.
- Your real values. Not the ones you admire, but the ones actually running your decisions.
- The pattern, named. You’ll see the exact moments where fear or habit overrides what you know is true.
- A 30-day bridge. One specific, anchored action, plus data on whether it’s holding.
What’s inside: 6 tools + 3 case studies
- Spirit Capacities Self-Assessment
- JOY Values Checklist
- The Gap Check: Spotlight Question, Tension Inventory, Excuse Audit
- Capacity Reflections (one for each Spirit Capacity)
- Monthly JOY Reset Tracker
- JOY Bridge Action Planner
Three case studies (Life & Relationships, Career & Work, YouChoose®) show the tools at work.
Built on research, written for real life. The guide draws on Dweck’s growth-mindset research (2006), the national mindset experiment published in Nature (Yeager et al., 2019), Self-Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017), and habit-formation research (Lally et al., 2010).
Time: about 60 minutes, then a 30-day practice. Format: printable, fillable PDF.
