How can a mindset be changed?

I have found through personal experience that many of my mindsets are pretty much set in stone with a week mortar. Any mindset regardless of what subsets it contains has to be flexible enough to allow this entity to continue to mature into a useful part of its society. There are ways to change a mindset and that is to slowly apply it towards growth and watch to see which segments start to fatigue being careful enough to not break or damage any of the parts used for testing or being tested. I truly feel that the best way, not perhaps the fastest way, is through meditation. In this manner you get to place a lot of energy, analysis, and understanding on what is to be changed and why it should be altered in the first place. At the same time we can analyze, understand by imaginative trial and error and determine the weak links on the connective chain of our mindset without causing any real damage. If we stumble because of a low self esteem then we work on overhauling our self esteem by again meditation to determine how we communicate with ourselves and if its negative in nature we try to switch it to a positive conversation with our subconscious mind and insure that the conversation between the subconscious and conscious mind is more positive. Only through meditation, can you truly understand the faults of the mind and change them to a more positive nature. The best way to know you is through meditation.
