What is a Buy-In Mentality?.

As human beings, we have a deep need to belong. Consciously or unconsciously, we buy into in things – people, places, movements, diets, values, and more. The problem arises when we don’t intentionally choose what to buy into, defaulting instead to whatever feels easy or comfortable. By now, most of us know that what comes easily rarely lasts.

‍

A Buy-In Mentality means being deliberate about what you choose to embrace and fully committing to it – really buying in. As a friend recently put it, drinking the Kool-Aid!

‍

Five Reasons to Adopt a Buy-In Mentality

1. Belonging to something meaningful elevates your human experience.
   Waking up knowing you’ll be surrounded by like-minded people gives you an advantage and sets your day up for success.
   ‍

2. Mindfully choosing what to invest in creates a safe space to be your authentic self.
   Being intentional about where you direct your energy fosters a sense of safety, which we all seek.
   ‍

3. It fosters a sense of purpose in your life.
   In my experience, nothing is worse than feeling aimless. Knowing your role provides clarity and relieves pressure.
   ‍

4. It promotes consistency across multiple areas of your life.
   Consistency is hard to achieve, but I’ve found it’s easier when my actions align with my values.
   ‍
5. It may lead to more frequent moments of happiness.While constant happiness isn’t realistic, knowing your day includes elements with a high chance of bringing joy creates a sense of freedom.

How to Develop a Buy-In Mentality?

Start with a life audit. Identify five pillars that define your life, such as:

1. Spiritual
2. Mental
3. Emotional
4. Physical
5. Social
   ‍

Evaluate whether you’re truly buying into something meaningful in each of these areas. Honesty is critical to painting a realistic picture and create a life worth living.
‍

The goal is to find people, places, or movements where these pillars align. This can feel daunting, so write down your core values and ensure that what you buy into reflects them.
‍

When you measure something, it tends to improve. By being specific about what you buy into, you can experience joy more regularly and find greater contentment in life.
‍

Take the leap, embrace a Buy-In Mentality and become better at life.
