Our perspective is our reality, which makes taking a positive perspective whenever possible an essential part of living a happy and fulfilling life. Here are three steps that anyone can take to help them take control over any negativity and strengthen their mindset in the process:
Focus on our conscious mind first
What we think, what we say, and what we do are all controlled by our conscious mind. We have about 10,000 new data inputs a day and with our conscious mind, we should be trying to control those 10,000 new inputs. Place our intentions upon thinking the right things, saying the right things, and taking the right actions, each and every day.
Next, look for patterns in our subconscious
In order to make a change, we must first be aware that a change is needed, so taking stock of the ideas that we experience the most frequently is key. When we do something consistently and persistently, we build momentum. This idea holds true for positive and negative subconscious beliefs. When we find ourselves experiencing a negative thought repeatedly, we must consciously tell ourselves to “cancel” that thought.
Finally, understand that being vulnerable makes us invulnerable
Being honest with ourselves and others is another crucial element for taking control of our mindset, especially when a change is needed. We all make mistakes every day, so focusing on getting back to center after making a mistake should be a priority. Once we are back to our center and baseline, we are prepared to take action that pushes us toward our ultimate goals. This approach helps us to keep simple mistakes from throwing us too far off our trajectory for the future.
