We all have a certain mindset we meet the day with. Mindset is defined as how your mental attitude is as you interpret and respond to various situations. You might hear mindset referred to as mental attitude, outlook, or other such terms.
Mindset matters because it helps the person make decisions and helps determine a point of view. . If they have a positive mindset, they are more likely to prioritize mental health and self improvement. It allows people to step outside their comfort zone. Those with a negative mindset feed into self-doubt with negative thoughts.
Although we each have a certain mindset, there are five things which make up the mindset. They are self-efficacy, locus of control, belief about our capabilities, motivation, and level of resistance.
In order to change your mindset, it is important to decide to change it as the first step. Even if you have a negative mindset, it is possible to change the mindset to a positive one. Understand, this change will take time and it varies from person to person. There are five ways to change your mindset.
First, embrace change by making new friends, quitting your current job and moving to one you like better, or move to a new place. This one may be logistically harder but if you embrace it, it will be easier.
Second, set attainable goals. Break the goals into smaller pieces so that they are smaller steps. Write these goals out and put the goals where you will regularly see them and are able to determine how much progress you are making towards the goals. As you make a goal, you can cross it off.
Third, surround yourself with people who are encouraging, rather than pessimists because their positivity is likely to rub off on you. This positivity is more likely to help you change your attitude.
Fourth, include daily exercise because exercise helps you think more clearly, improves your mood, and makes you feel more positive. Exercise often helps change your attitude and in turn your mindset changes.
Fifth, talk to a friend. Making changes to your mindset can be difficult and if you have a friend to talk to, you can express your feelings. If not a friend, share with a therapist, or think about writing your feelings in a journal if you are private and don't want to share with anyone. This helps get rid of doubt and clears the way for improving your mindset.
These are five easy ways to help change and improve your mind set. Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear. Have a great day.
