Top Mindset Lessons From Disney’s Inside Out 2!
*Spoilers

I saw this movie with my sister and I had no idea what it was about, but she told me “you’re going to love this movie and take away so many things from it, trust me.”

Andddd, she was right!

I loved the movie and took so many nuggets away from it that I want to share with you all!

1. Either you control your thoughts, or they control you. There can only be one king!

Riley (the main character) had a deep desire to join her school’s hockey team. She promised her two best friends that she’d always stick by them as they were all going into their freshman years of high school.

Riley started to have thoughts that she had to dump her old friends in order to make friends with the older girls who were already on the hockey team.

She had many conflicting and overwhelming thoughts on if she should stick by her friends as she promised or dump them for the new girls.

And because her thoughts were controlling her, she dumped her friends for the new girls and chaos soon erupted.

2. You can try to suppress painful memories and emotions as much as you want, but they will eventually show up in your life one day, and it may be ugly!

Riley suppressed painful memories ranging from her childhood to her teenage years her entire life. She stored them deep in her subconscious mind.

During a very important game, she had a panic attack fueled by fear and anxiety, which triggered many of her repressed memories and emotions, which worsened her panic attack!

3. Your inability to identify, process, and release your emotions is the biggest hindrance to your goals.

During Riley’s very important game, she began to feel like she wasn’t good enough.

This feeling was so strong that it led to Riley playing the game from a place of “not good enough” and “fear”.

She wasn’t aware that these feelings and emotions were running the show, so she never got the chance to identify, process, and release these emotions.

Instead, she played the game from a fearful and insecure place.

This led to her making decisions that compromised her position on the team and harmed one of her teammates!

Luckily for Riley, she began to become conscious of her thoughts and feelings towards the end of the film.

She accepted and found peace with the fact that she may or may not make the team.

This shift in her attitude required a mindset shift.

Mindset shifts are key to achieving your goals, especially in career development.
