“Your mindset impacts every sphere of your life” - now, this may seem an overstatement at first instance, but give it careful thought and you’ll realize that it is, in fact, the truth. The way you see the world can impact not just your personal space, but also your mood, health, relationships, career progression, success graph - you name it. It’s no secret that a positive mindset leads to a blissful life - but, how many of us are able to practice the positive mindset? #positvemindset
Most of us are stuck in the cycle of the scarcity mindset - one that leaves us with nothing but stress, anxiety, and the constant pressure to prove ourselves. You’ll find yourself constantly exhausted, directionless, with no control over where your life is heading. And this mindset is only going to lead to more chaos in your life. Now the question is - what is the way out? How can you get yourself out of the negativity that a scarcity mindset brings into your life? Let’s find out more:
How to Embrace the Positive Mindset and Fill Your Emotional Cup
The first step is to realize that you’re stuck in the scarcity mindset. With realization comes the acceptance that taking back control of your life is the only way to switch to the positive mindset. So here are a few things you can do to take conscious steps toward inculcating the positive mindset in your life #takingbackcontrol :
Be More Mindful
Mindfulness is a practice trending currently, for all the right reasons. It is all about living in the present, without worrying about the past or the future. With mindfulness comes clarity. It helps us steer our lives in the right direction, taking charge of it, seizing every opportunity that comes our way - all of which helps us live a rewarding, fulfilling, and satisfying life. #mindfulness
Be Grateful
When you’ve mastered mindfulness, it’s easier for you to see the good around you. You’ll realize that there’s so much to be grateful for - right from your health, personal relationships, and stable career to the smallest of joys in your life. There are different ways to practice gratitude - you can start writing a gratitude journal in which you can express all the things that you feel thankful for. You can also be more vocal about expressing your gratitude towards the loved ones, for their little acts of kindness. #grateful
Learn to Say No
Saying yes to everything that comes your way will only exhaust you and could cause you to have a negative mindset . Learning to say ‘no’ is important, to protect your energy and honor your boundaries. This would help you retain your sanity, as you put yourself before anything else. Self-care is an important aspect of the journey of practicing the positive mindset. Schedule your priorities, rather than prioritizing your schedule and make conscious efforts of putting yourself first. #boundaries
Take Me-Time Seriously
Our hectic schedules barely leave us any time for ourselves. But every now and then, you need to take a day off to do whatever you love doing - it may be just lounging around at home or heading out to your favorite spot for a sumptuous lunch. Pampering yourself and indulging in self-care can help rejuvenate and refresh yourself so that you’re all ready and fresh the next day to take on the challenges life throws at you #selfcare.
Sleep Well, Hydrate Yourself and Eat Healthily
We don't realize this, but food, water and good sleep are essentials that we need to get right. No matter how much you work on practicing the positive mindset, if you don’t get your basics right, it’s not going to be effective and helpful. Plan your meals in advance and set aside enough time to eat them peacefully. Likewise, increase your daily water intake to stay hydrated and function better. Lastly, set a sleep schedule so that you are well-rested and refreshed to begin a new day with a clear mind. #restwell #clearmind
