QUICK AND EASY FIX FOR YOUR MINDSET

FIX FOR YOUR MINDSET

If you’re like most people, you’re probably thinking, There’s no quick and easy fix to my mindset! And while this may be true in some cases, fixing your mindset doesn’t have to be hard at all. In fact, with just simple steps, you can begin improving your mindset right now — and see the results almost immediately.

Don’t focus on the negative

Take a deep breath. Think of all the things that are going well in your life. Even if your day has been hard, think about what you’ve accomplished that made you happy. It may seem small but those accomplishments make up your whole life, so celebrate them! Be grateful for what you have in the present moment. Remember there is always something to be thankful for because you have everything you need right now.

Look at failures as learning opportunities

In every endeavor, we will eventually experience some kind of failure. This is not the end of the world - in fact, it could be the beginning of something great. Failure should not be looked at as a judgment or a condemnation, but rather as an opportunity to learn. When you have a setback or if you fall short of your goals, use it as an opportunity to reflect on what went wrong and why.

Remember your potential

It's easy to focus on the things that are wrong in your life and to believe that you can't do anything about them. That feeling of helplessness is an epidemic. But I want you to know that YOU ARE NOT HELPLESS. You have a choice in how you think, which then determines how you feel. What are some things we need in order to survive? We need clean air, good food, comfortable clothes and shelter, love, and hope.

Have Fun!

A great way to boost your mood is by doing something you enjoy. Everyone's situation is different, but find what makes you happy--whether it's gardening, playing video games, or binge-watching a favorite show--and spend some time doing it. Having fun doesn't always require cash; go outside, see a friend or take a long walk around the block. Getting into this mindset will allow you to realize that there are still plenty of good things in life.

Practice Gratitude

A great way to start your day is by practicing gratitude. Every morning when you get up, set aside five minutes to write down five things you are grateful for in life. Notice how just getting a small reminder of the good things in your life can change your mood for the better.

Start today. Don’t wait until tomorrow.

You should start today. Don’t wait until tomorrow to get going with your life. Wake up a little earlier and get your thoughts in order before the day is full-fledged underway. You can still make time for that 8pm dinner reservation, no problem. Make a list of what you want to accomplish, or ask yourself what would you be doing if you had all the time in the world, to motivate you when things are tough. No need to overthink it!

Don’t Compare Yourself to Others

One of the best things you can do to avoid feeling inadequate is to stop comparing yourself to others. Comparing yourself to other people might seem like a harmless activity, but in reality, it's an incredibly detrimental habit that is completely impossible to escape.

Conclusion

If you need a quick and easy fix for your mindset, try reflecting on the things that make you happy. These are the people that inspire you, who give you energy, or who just make your day better. I can tell you from personal experience that I have more days where I feel motivated than not. Focus on what makes your life good!
