Mindsets often come from the way we were brought up as a child and how we have been conditioned to think over time. Life likes to throw different challenges and opportunities at us and you want to be someone that sees problems as opportunities. How you believe, think and feel about things has a huge impact on whether you actually achieve them or not. When a situation pops up you want to be able to turn it into something positive rather than negative and letting it pass you by. There’s lots of research on the internet about growth mindsets, fixed mindsets, limiting beliefs and so on. The basic idea though, if you believe and think that you can make changes (to your thoughts, your attitudes, your actions etc.) then you usually can. A negative mindset will: * Hold you back * Say you can’t do something * Take things at face value without asking yourself why, what if, how? * Put blame on others as a reason for not doing something * It hasn’t worked in the past, so it won’t work now * That’s just the way it is, I can’t change things * Make you give up before you’ve even started A positive mindset will: * Open your eyes and your mind to new opportunities * Make you receptive to trying new things * Encourage you to ask questions, learn more * Not take things at face value * Participate in life, rather than just be a by-stander * Work out what you want and help you get it, rather than letting your life pass by * Enable you to achieve whatever it is you want Unfortunately many people focus on the negatives and the reasons why they can’t or won’t be able to do the things they want to. They don’t have enough time, energy, or freedom or they feel selfish or not worthy. Change your mindset to focus on why you CAN and SHOULD do something, instead of why you CAN’T and SHOULDN’T and you’ll be able to achieve anything you want ☺️ #mindset #mindfulness #positivethoughtspositivelife #personaldevelopment #awareness #focus #valueyourself #positivemindset #mindsetiseverything (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCIWrs2J8iR/?igshid=1mo6vbobj38g4
