Why Creating the Right Mindset for YOU is Critical
Mindset Matters Issue #7
Mindset is how you CHOOSE to see things.
Being in the right mindset for YOU can be game changing for your life and ambitions.
Let’s dive in.
Below are my top 4 reasons of why creating the right mindset for YOU is critical for your life:
Reason 1: Get mental clarity
Reason 2: Gain Back Control of your life
Reason 3: Evolve as a person
Reason 4: Self confidence- the ultimate goal
Reason 1: Get mental clarity
Mental clarity can be explained as having a clear and focused mindset or a clear and focused state of mind.
A mindset where you are not in analysis paralysis mode or in too much of thinking mode.
Your thoughts are not all over the place.
You are mindful, you are present in your day. You set the tone for your day.
You are clear on what you want to do today or not do today.
You feel a sense of balance, certainty and direction when you wake up with a clear mind.
However, life is not the same every day.
You are reading this because you want to know how to manage your mind amidst the thousand tasks you have.
Note number 1 to remember : the tasks won't reduce, the responsibilities won't
go away.
Note number 2: you have to become stronger, you have to know that this is the only chance you will get.
So like it or not you have to manage the time you get every single day and find/make time for what matters most- You.
Like they say it's easier said than done, that's true.
Implementation can be very hard. But even if it's not 100% every day on track, your mental clarity will be your guiding voice.
So reason 1 to why you need to be in the right mindset for You is: to have mental clarity every single day.
Regardless of how much/how little you do for yourself on any given day, if you are
mentally clear on how you want your life to be/not be- you will feel peace, you will feel
centered. You will make time for what you want.
Being in the right mindset helps you become mentally clear and closer to your goals.
I certainly got mentally clearer ever since I got in the right mindset
for me!
Reason 2: Gain Control of your life
This is the second and a very important reason to create the right mindset for you.
All our lives we are ‘told’ to keep continuing with the competition at work, in life, with people our age, our relatives etc.
We are trying to achieve something because that's how it's ‘supposed’ to be.
We have to climb the same ladder as everyone in our known circle.
This is the only way of life.
Have you thought this way too?
I feel this is completely wrong.
Everyone is a unique soul with thoughts and ideas. By forcing us to be in the same box
as others in our life, we take away the possibilities possible IF we are different.
Different in our own way of thinking, doing, being. Without the pressure of something we ‘should’ be.
That's when we gain control of our life.
When we are ‘free’ to be who we want to be.
Example: you have studied science in school, college and now you HAVE to find a relevant job.
But you don't ‘feel’ right. You want to try something else. It doesn't seem like a lot of
money making work to begin with, but you are curious to find out.
You should.
Don't listen to what has been imposed on you.
Instead, find your own way.
Take up the work/ project you feel curious about. This is your first step to gaining control of your life!
If we are always in the mindset of standard life as per the norms, we are giving power to
the ‘standards’ and ‘norms’ rather than our own ‘ability’ to create the life we ‘think’ about.
Being in the right mindset helps you gain control of your life because you are guided by YOU and your gut feeling, rather than the peer pressure.
Reason 3: Evolve as a person
‘’Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain’’
I resonate with this quote about evolution. It says what I want to say to you. Evolution of the consciousness and ultimately the evolution of You.
Your mental horizons expand.
You start thinking and seeing beyond your limited knowledge
You become knowledge hungry
You read
You think
You find more
You know the possibilities are endless
You get some perspective-
Things take time,
Change takes time,
Every day is the fastest way to change
The voice in your head gets louder and clearer
You have been ignoring it,
But the willpower in You is making you think
It Is making you visit your priorities more vividly
It is making you question your routine and what you spend time
on
You are thinking more than often- is this serving me? Is this bringing me closer to my goal/ my mission in life?
You have started eliminating from your day- what doesn't serve
You
You are evolving as a person.
This is the power of the right mindset for you.
Evolution has begun!
Reason 4: Self Confidence- The Ultimate Goal
When you gain mental clarity
When you start taking control of your life
When you start evolving as a person
The natural result is confidence; self confidence
Self confidence makes you accept and trust yourself with your life.
You are aware of your strengths, weaknesses, goals and ambitions.
You are able to handle any criticism/ negative feedback you receive.
You did not have this strong sense of belief in YOU earlier.
But ever since you started thinking deeply, repeatedly about your life and mission and
goals and what you are doing currently; how much of it is wishing and how much is the
actual doing- you gain a certain level of self confidence.
You start seeing things in a way like you did not before.
Your mind is filled with possibilities and the feeling of safety with those possibilities.
Because you have You.
The path ahead may be unknown, but you are not worried or thinking ‘it is not possible’ anymore.
You KNOW it is POSSIBLE. Because you have YOU and that is ALL you need to succeed.
This self confidence is the ultimate goal, the gateway to living a FULFILLED life, every single day.
