Quick Mindset Hacks

As it is often said that, once you hack your mind, almost everything is possible.

You have goals, dreams, aspirations but something or the other keeps getting in your way and make that journey to reach your destination difficult.

If you begin to look at the cons they would always outweigh your pros on those moments. And, I will be honest with you here and say that I have been there and I absolutely resonate with your feelings.

I began with small steps to work on my mindset and it helped me get through.

I am not going to say that it was a cake walk because, it was not. Not at all. It takes time and as I always say lot to do with the process. It takes efforts to change thoughts and beliefs that are so deeply rooted and practised over a zillion times to this day.

Look at your thoughts
One of the first step to begin on personal development. Everything you do in life, achievements, failures are shaped by your thoughts and the thoughts in your mind.
Goes by this sequence –
Thoughts-Feelings-Actions-Results
When you change your thoughts, the entire process changes.

Identify your thoughts
Look at the above sequence and identify your current thoughts.
Ask yourself-
– Is this thought positive/negative?
– If negative, what can I think instead?
– How does that change in thought makes me feel?

Embrace and appreciate
It is really important for your personal growth that you take sometime and embrace and appreciate yourself. It is only when we appreciate, we move further in the journey. If you forget it, keep reminders in your phone and practice that actively.

People vs your mindset
Often, you see yourself getting influenced by people around you. Be mindful of the people you are bringing in your life. Choose quality over quantity always.

Little changes, but full impact. Try for yourself and I am here with you in your journey.

Ask Yourself These Questions Every Month.

Looking to this day, the last month of 2019 has begun. And there is nothing more effective than asking oneself effective questions. Sitting and planning about the upcoming month sometimes help, if not always.

Every month is like a new beginning and almost feels like a tabula-rasa. There is a lot you can achieve by just setting some small goals and habits for oneself, just like your own monthly bucket list.

Here are some questions from my list which can help you to uncover and reflect on how you would like your last month of the year to be.

How would I like to feel during this month?
Simple question can help you to bring in a great check on your feelings and help you uncover how you want to feel. It will help you to prioritise on the things or aspects of your life and of course on the parts that will get you closer to how you would like to feel.

Where would I like to be by the end of this month?
It does not have to be revolving around achievements always. You can of other aspects such as your personal growth, a business idea you have been working upon, the actions you would like to take for your life or just a small get away to give yourself a break.

What would make this month accomplishing for me?
It really depends on what makes you feel more satisfied in life. It is important that you do not involve in self doubt but instead look at the things you would like to accomplish for yourself, even if is learning how to drive, or a musical instrument. Anything that makes you feel happy and satisfied in life.

What advice I would like to give myself for this month?
Many of us actively involve in giving others advice. Why give ourselves a backseat then? This is a new practice I started this year and believe me it helps me. All of us have a good share of experiences and on the days we feel low, words help. My last month advice to myself was – “I will give myself a chance to rise today.” Find what helps you.

What is my budget for this month?
Give yourself a set plan and manage in that amount. At the end of the day, we should all save for the days when we just want a break for ourselves. And as grown ups we should sustain independently. I usually take out a monthly expenditure and deposit the rest of my savings.

I hope this helps you in some way. Go, give it a try!

After all, change in itself is process driven.

Natural Supplements for Anxiety

Depending on tranquillisers for lowering anxiety is not always a very helpful way of managing your anxiety. It reduces coagulation process which is not very healthy from a long term point of view.

As we all know that anxiety at some point or other makes us feel as if we are in a whirlpool of irreconcilability and unpredictability. The WHO report suggests that anxiety and depression are the most common among other mental disorders. And, this definitely raises a concern to work on health more efficiently.

One good news is that anxiety can be well managed, if taken care of. Usually the mainstream treatments for anxiety related disorders are anti-anxiety drugs and psychotherapies.

Along with the existing ways of managing anxiety, natural supplements can help in relieving symptoms of anxiety. Given below are some of these natural supplements which can be consumed on a regular basis.

Vitamins A, B, C and D
Vitamins are organic molecules that are essential micro nutrients that an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of metabolism.
Vitamin A helps the nervous system and muscles relax. It minimizes stress and ultimately calming your anxiety. Some signs of vitamin A deficiency are- acne breakouts, longer wound healing time or infertility. Some vitamin A supplements are – carrots, eggs, skimmed milk, etc.
Vitamin B helps in combating stress. It is used to create and repair neurotransmitters that regulate mood and behavior. Low levels may cause mental decline. Some vitamin B supplements are- whole grains, seeds and nuts, legumes
Vitamin C deficiency can make you often feel fatigued or depressed. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and red peppers.
Vitamin D plays a vital role in regulating mood. It absorbs calcium and phosphorus and somewhat plays a role in building immunity. Eating foods rich in Vitamin D such as salmon, shrimp, egg yolk, mushroom, soy milk and lastly absorbing some sun on a regular basis can help you feel better.

Chamomile
Chamomile is a herb, widely used in form of tea due to its refreshing abilities. A study from Nottingham Medical School found, consuming chamomile supplements helps smooth muscle fibers and relax blood vessels significantly.

Forgive

In the past,

Last year,

Last week,

Yesterday,

Or even today that has gone by,

Forgive.

Forgive everything that has gone,

Everything that bled your heart,

The moments that made you angry,

Or even the downfalls that came in your way.

Forgive, it all. Everything.

Life is everything that we have ever imagined,

Life is everything that we have ever cherished.

Forgive your brain for replaying the patterns of complains.

Forgive it all.

You deserve blooming,
You deserve joy.

Forgiveness is easy, forgiveness is loving, forgiveness is compassion. 🧡

Cultivating Punctuality

Before beginning to work on punctuality, it is essential that you understand what is making you late. Watch yourself and your routine carefully to identify what really is making you late. DeLonzor author of Never Be Late Again says – many late people — including herself — are likely to have an aversion to leaving the house. To combat this she uses a mantra of sorts: “When I catch myself doing this, I’ll snap or clap and say ‘This can wait.”

This article is not here to make you feel bad about your lateness or to say lateness makes you the worst of all. It is just to help you to work it out, if this is one.

Firstly, If you want to begin with identifying, have a look at DeLonzor who identifies four types of persistently late people

The Crisis Maker
The Defier
The Dreamer
The Perfectionist

I am refraining to crowd this article with too much information so you can go ahead find your type.

Secondly, your motivation is with you. Find. Find Find. because it helps when you have a reason to be on time, it can be anything. I can give you an example here – Reach to work early and head home early to spend time with yourself, your family, or your pet.

Thirdly, begin with declutter. The thing is we unnecessarily clutter our lives with all things, thoughts and what not. Take an example of your cupboard, how easy it gets when you keep things in place, you find them early.

And, lastly, take responsibility. Know what makes you late, it can even be spending too much time in front of the cupboard every morning just to finalise what you’d want to wear today. Take notice of where you are investing too much time where it is not even required. Decide it the night before or wake up early.

End note – You are too amazing to put a blame on yourself for being late. Cultivate an attitude of punctuality, even if it is 10 minutes in prior.
