How to Get Unstuck – Break Through and Grow Everyday!

Some days we all feel like our own worst enemy. We know the vital importance of having a healthy mindset, and creating and sticking to goals. Unfortunately it can be easy to fall into a pattern of feeling mentally ‘stuck’ at times and it can be difficult if not paralyzing if we let ourselves spiral into the quicksand of negative patterns, apathy and ambivalence. Here’s some tips how to get unstuck in your patterns – break through barriers and grow everyday as a blogger or entrepreneur!

We all feel the wage of battle in our minds for control of it on a daily basis. One part of you wants to do what’s easy and familiar and the other part knows that you need to have a working strategy that can help you to get into the right mindset for success as you are building your business, or sorting through more challenging areas of life and tasks and even pushing yourself into new arenas that might be brand new to you.

The battle of feeling ‘stuck’ might start for no apparent reason or maybe you just allow little self doubts to creep in and undermine your confidence.

Whatever the cause, you have to know success is a battle hugely fought in the mind.

If you start to believe those doubts, and focus on your failings, success is going to be a long way off. So Let’s Not Go There!

It’s time to take charge of the way you think and take some positive steps to move towards your goals.

How to Get Your Mind Unstuck and Move Forward

#1 – Get Clear

Knowing yourself can sometimes be the hardest thing of all. It’s hard to take a good hard look at yourself in the mirror. It’s easier to look at others and offer your opinion about who they are and what they should be doing, but when it comes to yourself things are often a bit more murky.

Depending on your self-esteem levels you can either tear yourself apart,  or be so puffed up with self-importance that you don’t truly see the reality.

It helps to take time to sit down with a pen and paper, write down some things about yourself. Start to really recognize or decide what matters to you in life, in business and in your heart. There is no judgement in this process, it’s simply a fact-finding mission so that you can start to realize what really drives you.

It’s possible you might need to gather up some courage and ask friends or members of your family what they think of when they think of you. You never know what you’ll learn.

As you start to realize who you are at heart, what it is that motivates you, what you are passionate about then you can start to refine what it is you can help other people with.

Maybe you really love helping others with parenting advice, or ways help your friend leave that toxic relationship, or how to get out of debt and eliminate financial trouble.

These thoughts and passions can potentially become a business for you.

Gaining clarity about your purpose in life is so fundamentally beneficial you should at least start thinking and writing about it now.

#2 – Set Goals

There is a power saying that goes; If you don’t believe in something you’ll fall for anything. While this is not actually talking about goal setting it does speak about the power of conviction.

For some people setting goals is easy. They are goal driven people and always strive to achieve what they’ve set out for. Serious athletes would never make it to the Olympics without setting goals, Doctors would never get qualified without setting goals, and you will never get where you’re going, if you haven’t even decided where it is you’re going!

I’ve always loved to-do lists and setting hard and fast goals on paper. It makes me feel great at the time that I set them. Think about how you feel when you make New Years Resolutions, lose weight or start a finally get out of debt

However, my personality is more suited to a ‘go with the flow’ mentality. The problem is that this can often end up with me not getting anything done, procrastinating over what I do have to do and then realizing a year later that I still haven’t changed that thing.

I find it really helps to write down your expectations about any goal. Because when you know what your expectations are you can really focus on achieving them. Is it really important to you and if so why? What will it ultimately achieve for you and how will it ultimately benefit you?

And I’m not speaking generally about ‘I want to make a lot of money’, ‘I want to travel the world’. Your goal has to be specific. Ok, ‘I want to make 50K by next year’ or ‘I want to visit the Great Barrier Reef in May of 2019’. Or, ‘I want to attain 130K page views on Pinterest by next month’. Yes! Be super specific. 

Because after all, it doesn’t help to go into having a goal without having a realistic, actual possibility of attaining it. Which brings me to this…

We can set goals that are too big for us initially and that overwhelms us. I want to lose 20lbs in 10 days!!

Once overwhelmed it’s easy to be hard on yourself and think you’re a failure so you give up and think crappy thoughts about yourself. Not good.

The best way to start today is just to have bite sized goals. Maybe even divide them up into ‘Easily Achievable’, ‘Harder’ and it ‘I could totally do this if I really focus’. Hey, dreams are a good thing! Dreams are what we used to have as kids! Remember that?

#3 Check Your Attitude to Get Unstuck

You are human – it’s a fact. You have feelings that change frequently. Heck, I have feelings that change every second! To have a successful mindset you cannot afford to live by your feelings. Repeat after me: YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE BY YOUR FEELINGS.

Feelings are simply Feelings and are often unreliable and lead you astray so that you don’t fulfil your goals, complain about things, make excuses for what we do and don’t do. Remember! Feelings PASS!! Just like Gas! Feelings PASS! 

YOU! Yes YOU!! need to decide what kind of attitude you are going to have then make it happen.

Decide you are not going to be negative, you’re not going to complain, not going to bitch and whine.

Write down your decisions so that when your feelings start to change you can remind yourself of where and why you started.

 

How EFT Will Create an Abundant Financial Future

 

I once had a Psychologist friend tell me when I wanted to change my negative feelings, to dunk my head in a sink full of water and ice cubes and the bad feelings (or any feeling for that matter) would instantly go away. She was spot on. (Of course it helps to have the sink ready:)

Be generous of yourself, helpful to those around you and be happy! Do you realize how contagious that is?

Your influence will naturally grow when you start to focus on what you can do for others.

You can change someone’s whole day, life or mind just by what they get from your attitude.

 

#4 Assumptions can lead to failure

Your brain is amazing in so many ways, how it processes information and delivers your thoughts or impressions.

Sometimes however it can let you down. You can let something be assumed about a situation or someone or something become a reality in your mind, and it can become a stumbling block where all you do is focus on this improbable thing that isn’t even a reality except in your mind and then it completely shuts down all positive creation.

Challenge every assumption, replace it with evidence. Don’t just say ‘people won’t listen to me when I say that’, or ‘people are ignorant’ give them a chance, test your idea. You have to be bigger than your inklings.

#5 To Get Unstuck – Just take ACTION!

Action is the most powerful motivator to keep going. It’s better to start something and adjust as you go than it is to keep taking notes, planning and never starting at all. I’ve been so guilty of this myself.

Years of jumping from idea to idea and never taking it past the initial excitement and a few hand written notes. Taking action actually makes you feel good about yourself. Don’t worry if you make mistakes, pick yourself up, readjust, try again, learn from them, try something different.. but move forward, always move forward.

Don’t look back. What is the point of that anyway? Thinking about what you could of done better? Every situation is different. You can do better next time. There’s always a next time. And if there isn’t? Well, you did the best you could under those particular circumstances. That’s all. Forgive yourself, take action and move on.

Don’t look back, you’re not going in that direction.

Set a timer and just GO! Grab a pen and paper, set the timer for 30 minutes and just write an article, or dump all your ideas onto paper that you can build out later, or set up those budget apps you’ve been meaning to put into place, do those push ups and planks, make those 3 calls you’ve been putting off and just cross them off your list.

 

#6 Training, Mentoring and Masterminding to Get Unstuck 

Without a doubt the most successful people you know of in business were trained, mentored or spent time with other like-minded entrepreneurs to gain their success. Nobody can really do it alone.

There are lots of ways that you can develop and create an abundant future for free online, it’s true.

With YouTube and blogs, and numerous other types of reports and downloads, you can definitely make your way to business and personal success.

The following people and courses I highly recommend:

 

Mastin Kipp – Live Your Purpose From Now On

Tony Robbins – Transform Your Life

Marianne Williamson – A Return To Love

How to Achieve Financial Success With EFT

 

It’s so valuable to invest in your learning, mental training and growth. This is especially vital if you’ve had a rocky emotional start in childhood and youth.

I really would like to encourage you not to try to do everything alone – there are people around that can help you, share your journey with you, encourage you when you get stuck, and just be there. In your community and everywhere.

If you know of any other strategies that help you to get you unstuck and out of a mental rut I’d love to hear about them! Feel free to comment!:)

Why You Shouldn’t Read Other People’s Blogs

by 2 Comments

Do you read other people’s blogs? I know it can be super addictive! I used to. Now not so much. I realize this post is going to be somewhat controversial. Especially since you are reading it on another person’s blog and I’m telling you, you shouldn’t read other blogs anymore. I’m actually not saying you shouldn’t read this btw. Are you totally confused yet?

What I am saying is that I rarely read other people’s blogs.

The reason for this is quite simple.

It’s a waste of your time.

It makes you procrastinate your own writing. I believe the same is true of participating in Facebook groups and being on TikTok. Lots and lots of people are going to disagree with me. Oh well. I think it’s true. I think they are for the most part a huge time suck.

With that being said some Facebook strategies can be used to help build up your business as well as TikTok. If you have the time and resources to put into it.

If you are just getting started blogging, you may want to wait until your blog is well established.

Once it is you can read how in these posts:

TikTok Marketing Tactics You Need To Know

Why you shouldn't read other people's blogs

Why I Rarely Read Other People’s Blogs

Well, first let me just say if you have no problem with any type of distraction tendencies or comparing yourself to others then by all means carry on!

I have a tendency to easily get side tracked when reading other folks’ blogs and instead of sitting down to work and cranking out 3 or 5 posts, promoting, creating, and scheduling, as I should be doing, I get all wrapped up in the OTHER person’s work.

According to Google you should be putting out 16 blog posts a month to keep up with the competition on the internet!

That’s a ton of content!

You might also get sucked into getting an insecurity complex.

In the beginning of my blogging career I would start signing up for everyone’s free opt ins and then never wind up using them.

I had what was known as ‘shiny object syndrome.’

How to Be a Highly Successful Content Creator

Then I would start thinking; gee, I should really change my niche, re do my images, change my font size, add that social sharing button, revamp my whole website design, change my email provider and more!

Whatever it was, it completely distracted me from my OWN work.

Does this ever happen to you?

Honestly, this is why I say it’s a waste of time. I used to read a ton of blogs. I’d read them and sign up for all their newsletters and next thing you knew my inbox would be flooded with lessons and courses and webinars that I couldn’t keep up or ever get to.

Half the time I couldn’t even remember why I’d signed up for it to begin with.

This didn’t do me any benefit. I didn’t learn from it. And it just left me feeling in a state of major overwhelm.

Nor did it provide value to the blogger who wrote the opt in either because I’d wind up unsubscribing eventually.

I thought at first this was helping me to be a better blogger by learning from as many other experienced people as possible.

In truth, it was a first class way of practicing  major procrastination from the work I should have been focusing on like creating my own content, digital products, scheduling email campaigns, working on blogger outreach and guest posting, and growing my blog forward in the direction it should have been going.

Today, I have to admit I still find it very hard not to read other people’s blogs. But when I do I take a very disciplined approach and spend a very limited amount of time on them.

And when I do I limit it to 3 of my favorites and that’s it.

Avoid all the mistakes I’ve made and get my proven secrets to success that have turned me into a six figure blogger in my 20 resource guide here.

When do I read other blogs?

  • The only time I really look at other people’s blogs is when I’m seeking a very specific answer.

For instance, the other day I wanted to find out about a certain WordPress plug in. And who is better to find the answer from than another blogger? If I searched on Google I’d be there for hours.

Another time I’ll read a blog is when I am just plum fresh out of innovative ideas. I’ll scan the headlines of posts and just get some different concepts and ideas to play around with and put a brand new spin on them.

2021’s Best Free Blogging Tools to Grow Your Blog Fast

If I start a new project or want to work on something I’m not really sure about I will generally go to a few of my favorite blogs and read everything they have to say about the topic.

I’ll keep them in my Feeder and then delete them to quickly move on to my project.

Reading Other Blogs Makes You Compare

One can’t help but compare one’s work to another’s. Especially if you’re in the same niche.

This can make you fall into a danger zone. After all:

“Comparison is the thief of joy”

Often times when you start comparing you get stuck in a state of paralysis and then become scared to let your own creativity come out. You’re worried that maybe you’re not ‘doing it right’.

This is true especially if you’re a newbie blogger.

The great thing about blogging is that there aren’t many rules.

But let’s face it, sometimes you might feel like every topic has already been written about and there’s nothing new to say.

When I was reading too many blogs I’d think ‘Oh, I can’t write about that now, someone else already did’.

If you ever feel frustrated thinking like that just remember that the wonderful thing about blogging, and why people love them so much is that every single blogger has a different voice, a unique feel, an appealing tone, a different opinion, and that is what makes your audience keep coming back to you.

Of course that along with an answer to your reader’s problems that you will solve for them each and every time.

 

Ask yourself this question

Do you find that reading other people’s blogs is hindering your work or is it genuinely helping you to be more productive on your own blog?

I’d love to hear your answers!

After you work on your own blog!;)

Whether you’re looking to move along a similar path that allows you to utilize the skills that you’ve perfected for many years, or make a complete career overhaul into an entirely different niche, there’s a whole host of ways you can get started and earn more money for yourself and your family as well as gain more personal satisfaction and flexibility. Read on to learn how.

Whether you’ve been a stay at home Mom or Dad for many years, have worked part time, or have had a successful career outside the home, there are many options out there! The most challenging part is choosing! Changing careers allows you to have another chance at fulfilling your real passion, make extra money and improve your life and connections.

After all, you know yourself better now, and you can decide more easily which niche you’d like to work in.

If you are going to be switching to a brand “new” career that requires a new set of skills, then you will need to have a resume that will list any and all qualifications you have for the position you are applying for.

This doesn’t necessarily mean the skills you have developed through employment or education but also those that you acquired through volunteer work, hobbies, or personal experience.

There are also those who decide that they are ready to quit their jobs and try something brand new on their own.

This may be starting their own business or writing the great American novel that they have had in mind for most of their lives.

Create a list of the top things you have an interest in. This way you can gather the courage to go after your dream and accomplish what matters most.

The sales can be quite profitable with effort and consistency.

5 Ways for Bloggers to Improve Mental Health Daily

by Leave a Comment

While we’ve all been enduring this Pandemic; worrying about the future of our health, children, lifestyle, finances and loved ones, our mental health has taken a severe hit. Fear and anxiety can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in both adults and children. Aside from physical health, mental health is paramount to one’s entire well being, work production, relationships, self care and so much more. So today I’m putting blogging tips aside and focusing on 5 ways you as a blogger can improve your mental health daily.

 

5 Simple tips to improve your mental health every day.

 

Stay grounded, feel balanced and improve your mental health in five simple ways.

 

People are starting to become more aware of the importance of mental health, and more importantly, they are starting to understand how to strengthen and take care of it as best as possible.

Much like you take care of your body every day by doing some physical activity or eating fresh organic, healthy food, it’s important to make sure you nurture your mind and emotional psyche on a daily basis.

Here are 5 simple tips to improve your mental health, day in and day out!

 

1) Stay organized:

 

With virtual organizing consultants like Marie Kondo, Becoming Minimalist Joshua Becker, and other de-cluttering gurus and trends sweeping up the nation, many people are starting to adopt a more organized and simplistic lifestyle.

This can do wonders for your mental health, and offer a wide range of benefits, such as enhancing your focus and emotional stability. 

People living in messy environments are more prone to mood swings, stress, and depression.

If you’ve been working from home here are some tips to help manage:

13 Ways to Stay Focused and Productive While Working From Home

2) Manage relationships in your life:

 

Whether it’s a partner, a friend, or a person at work, all our relationships have different dynamics. 

Even during quarantine some of us still need to deal with other people on a daily basis. Just under closer quarters! 

Some people can be a positive force in our lives, but others might drain our energy from us.

It’s important to recognize negative or toxic types of people and learn how to deal with them in the best way.

Many people are trapped in submissive or narcissistic relationships or have patterns of emotional abuse and codependency, which might damage their mental health in various ways. 

If you think you are in a relationship with a toxic personality you need to assess how best to manage this by speaking with a professional to form a get away plan or have the person in question enter therapy.

3) Too many distractions:

couple on phone

Do you find yourself spending too much time drifting off from your task and browsing on your Instagram feed, while you should be working on your next eBook or digital course?

With so much pulling at our attention online today there’s many pretty shiny objects vying for our attention.

While it might sound like an innocent goof, getting distracted too often is a bad habit, which can seriously damage your attention span on the long term, and cause feelings of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Set some rules for yourself and try to minimize distractions while working.

4) Watch what you eat: 

 

The food you eat might have a direct impact on your mental state.

Eating junk food and foods high in sugar or carb-dense food on a daily basis might be an immediate reward for your body: A slice of cheesy pepperoni pizza is delicious when you bite into it, but what happens after?

Lack of proper nutrients due to a poor diet, as well as other feelings such as guilt or shame for indulging in unhealthy foods too often,  can contribute to an unbalanced mental state, as well as various emotional disorders.

Eating super foods and other foods packed with antioxidants, complex carbs and protein can give you a mental edge providing more clarity, energy and focus.

I find that certain foods infused with CBD help me to relax, especially at night, and allow me to be more prepared for a stressful day.

5) Wake up earlier in the morning:

 

Do you find yourself rising later in the morning when working from home?

This might sound like a big chore at first, but if you make an effort to wake up earlier, you will experience a huge difference.

If possible, set your alarm between 6 and 7, and allow yourself some time before you need to get ready for work or other commitments.

Waking up earlier and taking some time for yourself in the morning can be helpful for your emotional health and mental acuity.

In particular, 10 to 15 minutes of light exercise early in the morning can help your mental status throughout the entire day.

Don’t forget! 

Hydration: signs you aren’t drinking enough water.

 

Never underestimate the importance of drinking your water! It might affect you in ways you might not even realize yet.

We always hear about how important it is to drink enough water and stay hydrated.

Yet, many of us fail to take the necessary steps to maintain the proper fluid intake every day, and as a result, our health might suffer from it.

Here are some signs you might not be drinking enough water to stay healthy every day!

Drinking coffee, tea, alcohol or other beverages.

If you drink anywhere from 3 to 5 coffee drinks a day or drink alcohol several times a week, you might actually get dehydrated.

Even though you might be sipping on beverages consistently through the day, drinks such as coffee and alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, cocktails…) can actually dehydrate your body.

Alcohol is a strong diuretic, which means it causes a person to urinate more frequently, therefore losing more liquid.

wine glasses

You can safely drink coffee and tea every day, and you should always drink alcohol in moderation. When you’re out for a wild night or you’re planning on drinking a bit more, make sure you offset your alcohol intake by also drinking plenty of water between drinks!

This will help you stay hydrated, and it might even prevent the downfall of a huge hangover the next day! In fact, the worse hangovers often come hand in hand with the most dehydration!

 

Dealing with frequent headaches or migraines.

Many people struggle from frequent headaches or migraines. If you find yourself suffering from such issues on a daily or weekly basis, you are probably confused as to what’s causing your headaches!

In most cases, dehydration is the simple cause behind most migraines. Try being more mindful about how much water you drink.

You might be able to see improvements quickly.

stressed man

Experiencing lack of energy and mood swings.

 

If you often feel sleepy or dizzy, chances are, you might be suffering from dehydration.

Many people who are chronically dehydrated often experience fatigue and lack of energy, as well as confusion, inability to focus and irritability.

How can you improve your hydration on a daily basis?

 

water bottle image

Staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your overall wellness, including having a positive impact on your mental and physical health.

The good news? Staying hydrated is actually quite easy – all you need to do is to drink enough water through the day! If possible opt for water instead of other beverages.

Energy drinks might have a nice hydrating power, but they also feature plenty of sugars or other substances that might not be good for you if taken on a regular basis.

In addition to that, a lot of sodas and sparkling beverages with flavors (such as lemony water) are often very acidic and might damage your teeth. 

Clean, plain water is often the most optimal solution, especially if you want to make sure you quench your thirst in the best possible way each day!

Conclusion

There are many things you can do to improve your mental health during these very trying times and many resources out there that can help during a crisis.

Visit our Covid-19 Small Business Resources page if you need additional help with loans, a new career and more.

Remember – there’s no stigma involved with mental health! If you or someone you care about needs immediate help with a mental help issue call the mental help hotline.

2020 should be named the year of anxiety. Between the Covid Pandemic, fears for the future, businesses closing, personal safety, public protests, need I mention more? We all feel anxious from time to time and entrepreneurs are no exception.

Working for oneself and staying consistently motivated as an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart! The pressure is all on you and only you to make it happen. Affirmations help me to quell the rising pit of fear that rises up every now again during these precarious time. I hope these can help you too.

Entrepreneur Pressures

As a creative entrepreneur you’re the CEO, CFO, president, project manager, creative director, accountant, secretary, editor, designer etc, etc all in one.

There’s no one else forcing you to meet your goals, earning requirements and objectives. Therefore it’s vital to remember and consistently repeat power affirmations to help you power over and slay whatever anxiety or trepidation you may feel on any given day.

You need to CRUSH these negative emotions so you can get to work!

A plan of action and daily schedule is vital to follow.

So is the power of affirmations whenever you feel the tinges of anxiety coming on. Short, frequent breaks are also very important to ease the mind get those creative juices flowing again.

How to Use Power Affirmations to Ease Anxiety

 

I use power affirmations to ease anxiety on a daily basis. Starting with first thing in the morning. I find they’re extremely motivating and get me to feel more positive and energized.

They can work for you too no matter what profession or niche you’re in.

 

What are the most effective ways to use Power Affirmations?

 

  • Pick one or two affirmations and begin using them immediately. Do not wait until you create the perfect affirmations for your specific situation before you start using them. The future is now. Procrastination is the killer of success. Immediate action creates momentum. Repetition of positive thought sustains it. Do not base your choice by whether or not you already believe the affirmation or if the belief seems possible to you at this time.

 

  • Repeat the power affirmations with emotional intensity and a feeling of certainty will eventually install the beliefs in your subconscious mind. At the very least, pick a generic affirmation like Every day in every way I am getting better and better. Then you can always choose or create other power affirmations later after you set specific goals.

 

  • Resolve right now to start using affirmations within the next 60 minutes. Write the power affirmation at least 10-20 times per day. For best results, write it down 10-20 times as soon as you arise and 10-20 times before you go to bed. This allows you to set your direction before the day starts and plant the seed in your subconscious mind before you go to sleep. If you do this consistently, you will naturally find this thought re-occurring in your mind several times per day. You will begin to notice the power affirmations shaping your other thoughts through the course of the day. As the power affirmations create more and more similar thoughts, you will create a direction and build momentum towards the desired results.

 

  • After you write the affirmation 10-20 times, repeat it aloud in front of a mirror 5-10 times. Anxiety Help is a process so repeating the affirmations aloud further installs the beliefs into your subconscious mind. It is very important to repeatedly both write and audibly state your affirmations for maximum effectiveness.

 

  • As you write and audibly repeat them, feel the emotional power of the affirmations in your body. Visualize yourself as having already created this result in your life. Feel the way you would feel if you already had this result in your life. Hear the things you will hear when this affirmation becomes an everyday reality. Breathe the way you would breathe if this affirmation were already true. Move your body as if this were already a conditioned belief

 

  • Now let your positive thoughts of power and certainty guide your actions. Live consciously. Take complete control of your own mind rather than passively allowing the influences in the media control it for you.
  • Does this type of conditioning take time and effort? Absolute , on a daily basis. There is no something for nothing. This is where most people fail. They do not follow through with these steps every day for a long period of time. They get inspired for a few days after hearing a motivational speaker or after reading a book. Then, after the motivational high wears off, they fall back into their old habits.

Event training through short seminars, is necessary and great. But Process Training, training that guides your every day habits, is the real key to sustained results.

Process Training is achieved through sustained exposure to the learning material over a prolonged period of time. And it requires constant review and correction until the skill is installed as a subconscious habit (like how you learn to drive a car).

Most people who think they can get all the information they need by attending a couple of seminars or listening to a best selling program one time will usually be disappointed.

The information just goes by too fast to allow it to really soak in.

Why do you think we see the same commercials over and over again? Or hear the same slogan? It is because that advertisers know if they can get our attention for 30 seconds (or less), to watch the same commercial multiple times over a period of days, weeks, months, years, they know they can sell us billions of dollars of merchandise.

Is it not time that you used the exact same technique to condition your mind on purpose? Take control of your mind and get help to keep that anxiety at bay so you can move on with what you have to do.

Listen to motivational speakers on audio tape on a regular basis. Daily is one effective way to add process training to your life, however, many of the thoughts they communicate race by without having a chance to take root in either your conscious or subconscious mind.

And there is often a lot of fluff just to get to the main points that will really change your life. It is much more difficult to take advantage of the power of repetition which is crucial to create long term results.

Repeat these Power Affirmations Daily! 

First breathe.

    • Then repeat:

 

  • My Power Affirmations work!
  • I create new Power Affirmations for myself everyday.

  • The more I repeat my Power Affirmations with a feeling of certainty, the more accessible these power beliefs are to me when I need them.
  • I know that the repetition of affirmations is the easiest and primary method of voluntarily creating the emotion of faith. So I feed my subconscious mind thoughts of faith by repeating my power affirmations every day with emotion and physical energy.
  • My thoughts are creative. My Power Affirmations are now creating the reality I desire.
  • My Power Affirmations positively influence my subconscious mind while I sleep.
  • My imagination now creates whatever I believe and conceive.
  • I now have all the resources I need to achieve my goals easily and effortlessly.

Your Greatest Asset Is Your Mindset – How to Create It

by 2 Comments

Have you noticed that there are some tasks or days that seem to take so much effort to get through and others that seem to pass by without a hitch? Or some people that seem to just breeze through life regardless of a series of failures and setbacks that just roll off them as they glide into each new success? While others can dwell on the same problem or criticism for years at a time and never seem to move past it?

What is it that makes the difference in our outlooks and progress?

I believe one word sums it up: mindset.

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen”. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Outlook, attitude, perspective, preparation, and beliefs play a large part in forming our mindset. Our current mindset was formed from our outlook on life, attitudes, perspectives, preparation and beliefs.

Our mindset is influenced by our prior experiences and how we evaluate them, our definition of self and our assumptions about current or new situations.

Our level of awareness determines how well we can consciously filter out the internal thoughts and the external messages which work against what we hope to achieve and allows our mindset to expand.

Creating A New Mindset for 2021

“Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.”
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

Creating a new mindset begins with seeing a new situation in relation to our past experiences and contrasting that view with the current quality of life we experience.

Identifying the gaps between the past and the present indicates our resistance points; places we are experiencing resistance toward changing something with which we are comfortable but no longer brings the desired results (and maybe never did).

As we reach a new understanding about these gaps, we also realize that we have fears surrounding each gap.

We have believed or assumed something to be true and now find that those beliefs and assumptions must be challenged.

How do you go about challenging what you have held on to for so long?

Begin by identifying one belief or assumption you are making about your current situation.

“There are two kinds of people. One kind, you can just tell by looking at them at what point they congealed into their final selves. It might be a very nice self, but you know you can expect no more surprises from it. Whereas, the other kind keep moving, changing… They are fluid. They keep moving forward and making new trysts with life, and the motion of it keeps them young. In my opinion, they are the only people who are still alive. You must be constantly on your guard against congealing.”

― Gail Godwin

Examples of Positive and Negative Thought Patterns

For example, Jacob is a successful manager in a large corporation. He has always excelled and is seen as a leader. Jacob has been offered a position running a brand new division.

Although he is very excited, he is petrified that he will fail. He has always built his successes around the lower standards of others.

He isn’t convinced that he can begin with setting new standards and achieve the same level of success.

Marguerite is a middle manager in an accounting firm. She has eagerly taken on assignments that no one else wants.

She works hard and is always productive, despite an increasing workload. She has poured much of herself into her job.

She is worn out and is eager for a change. She dreams of starting her own business and knows her business sense will come in handy.

She worries that she will not have enough financial security to support her family. She now dreads going to work every day.

False Beliefs

What beliefs or assumptions are holding Jacob and Marguerite back from realizing their potential?

Jacob may believe or assume:

-Failure is to be avoided at all costs. It is not an option.
-He is expected to perform flawlessly.
-He has no confidence he can take on something new; he only knows how to make current situations better.

Or fear:

-He has no skills that will translate to this new position.
-He will discover who he really is.

Marguerite may have these challenges:

-She believes she has to be the only “caretaker” at home and at work.
-People view her as a hard worker, not a business owner.
-She will have to count on herself as well as others.
-She will have to learn to delegate and give up some control.
-She assumes her family cannot get along without her at the helm.
-She doesn’t see that putting herself first benefits the whole family.
– She is afraid of what she may actually be capable of.

“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world”. Arthur Schopenhauer

Both Jacob and Marguerite are viewing the current situation based on prior experiences, which may or may not be similar to their current situation.

Many times we experience something earlier in life and hold on to that experience as a reference when the same feelings come up again.

Jacob finds it easy to analyze a situation and see beneficial changes. He has never experienced that same feeling when he tried something brand new. He therefore assumes he can’t succeed at creating something new.

Marguerite has always received immense pleasure out of helping others achieve their own success. She sees potential in every one around her and finds herself measuring her success according to what others accomplish.

Jacob and Marguerite are like many of us.

We feel we are best at what we are comfortable doing. When faced with a new choice, we automatically compare what we assume the new experience will be to our prior experiences.

If we can learn to then ask the question, “How do I know this is true?” we begin to increase our awareness about how we are making decisions.

Awareness then provides the opportunity to see where the resistance is coming from and to take a more informed approach.

Past experiences can be a valuable tool in decision making as long as the variables are the same.

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Samuel Sales

Consciously Choosing Your Mindset

Contemplate for a moment what you focused on this morning.

Were you thinking about how tired you felt or wondering what terrible news would be on tv about the Covid-19 Pandemic, or maybe you were dreading the weather or your doctor’s appointment?

What you find yourself thinking about first thing upon waking and how you are thinking about it make a difference as to how your day will progress.

“We tend to live up to our expectations”. Earl Nightingale

We all choose the perspectives we embrace and where we focus our attention.

Those that choose to focus on what positive changes have resulted from difficult situations have a better chance of moving through the changes with less friction or resistance.

The few that see things through a closed mindset will undoubtedly feel anger, resentment, injustice, fear and possibly confusion.

Where you focus your attention is completely up to you.

As we sharpen our awareness of how thoughts and words affect us, we can learn how to channel our thoughts or reactions towards a more powerful outcome.

Can you catch yourself sometimes thinking unproductive things like, “Boy, was that stupid! How dumb can I be?”

When you notice you are having negative thoughts about yourself, another person or an event, stop those thoughts and begin thinking more productive thoughts.

“Men imagine that thought can be kept secret, but it cannot; it rapidly crystallizes into habit, and habit solidifies into circumstance”. James Allen

By increasing our awareness of words and messages around us, we create the opportunity to change our mindset to better match our goals.

As our mindset changes, so will the experiences we have. Our mindset, or state of mind, focuses how we hear, see, feel and act.

As the awareness of our mindset increases, we can learn to focus better and as a result, we can get better results.

One of the easiest ways to consciously refocus your mindset is to change the language you use.

With the use of more powerful language, the way people interact with you will change and the people who interact with you will change.

Do you sabotage your efforts by qualifying what you say?

Experiment with using more powerful words to describe something you want to accomplish by replacing these words or phrases (or others like them): try, have to, doubt, can’t, never, take forever, too hard, don’t want, think, maybe.

Practice recognizing qualifying language by circling “suspect” words in the following sentences:

  • The only experience I have to offer is from a long time ago.
  • I am not really good at this yet.
  • I’m feeling better today.
  • I’ll try to find out.
  • I am not sure if I can attend.
  • It’s not like I intend to hurt anyone; I just say it like it is.
  • I just never have been able to stay organized.
  • I plan to be famous one day.
  • I wish I had more time.
  • I meant to follow up; I just haven’t yet.
  • I have been so busy I haven’t been able to get anything done.
  • I usually pay attention to detail.

The ability to re-frame these statements indicates that you are beginning to develop a new mindset.

But remember, just like a gardener who sows seeds, you have to tend to the new mindset in order for it to grow.
