how to feed a new mindset

We all have the ability to change our mindset, to change our core inner beliefs upon which we base our view of ourselves and of the world. If we consciously decide to develop a positive mindset, empowered by positive thinking together with an attitude of joyous expectance of only the best, we put ourselves in the correct frame of mind to propel ourselves into proper action while anticipating and expecting successful outcomes. Some of these suggestions may help you break the pattern and start seeing things in a new light too.

1. Don’t recycle negative thoughts.

Negative thoughts can be sort of addicting; we think of something that really bothers us, feel bad, then keep refocusing on that same thought instead of moving on. This doesn’t make any sense, but we tend to believe that whatever we are thinking at any given moment is the reality. Its just a perception coming from a very narrowly focused mind. This can be why it’s so hard to let go of some of these reoccurring thoughts. When we learn that our perceptions don’t dictate reality or change our surroundings, we can let go and stop taking them so seriously.

2. Seek out friends who think the way you want to think.

Figure out where the kind of person you want to be would hang out, and go there. Not only will you start doing something or being somewhere you want to be, but you will start meeting others with a more positive perspective which will rub off on you.

3. Read one chapter of a personal development book per day.

Saturating your mind with positive ideas every day will do the same thing that saturating your mind with negative ideas will, it will have you focusing on those thoughts. The more you focus on ideas that uplift you, especially actionable ideas, the more motivated you will be to do the hard work that comes with real personal development.

4. Watch a motivational video first thing in the morning.

This will get the right feelings stirred up first thing in the day which will have you begin on the right foot. It’s easier to look forward to the day when you start with some inspiration.

5. Take action.

Do one thing each day from your personal development reading. We feel the most alive when we are actually doing something and not just passively learning. To cultivate a new mindset, getting the body moving and making things happen every day is crucial. Seeing is believing so give yourself something real to believe in.

6. Complete the most important task each day.

Start the day by focusing on the big movers, the things that will really make a difference in your life. If you are always trying to complete the menial tasks then all you are  going to get is menial outcomes.
