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.
