What is mindset? Mindset refers to the established set of attitudes, beliefs, and perspectives that shape your thoughts, behaviours, and responses to challenges and opportunities. While mastering your mindset can be a heavy topic, incorporating these 3 daily mental habits can help you change your life by cultivating enthusiasm, energy and optimism so you can achieve your goals with vigour.
Start Your Day With Intention
Most people get out of bed and immediately jump into their daily activities like checking social media, reading emails and worrying about the things that are bothering them. If you are one of them, try this instead. The moment you wake up and even before you get out of bed, listen to or read something that is going to lift you up. Listen to guided meditations, play an affirmation recording or read something inspirational. Instead of going through your morning unconsciously, set an expectation that this is going to be an amazing day, you are in a good mood and that you are able to recognize opportunities that appear in front of you. Mentally prepare your mindset by focusing on that which is positive and good.
Master Your Mind by Journaling
Right after listening to or reading something inspiring, write down some empowering thoughts. Why journal? It is the first step to taking from your mind and making it tangible. You could write down some of your favourite affirmations that inspired you, write down what you are grateful for in your life, or even the quality that you are choosing to embody for that day. Remember, instead of operating on autopilot, you are making the decision to direct your day. You could also try writing down the one action item you can take that moves you one step closer to nourishing your soul, your personal goal or something really meaningful to you.
