Know yourself: There can be no growth if you don’t know Find out and work with your strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and talents. The first step in developing a healthy mindset is to know what that mind of yours is equipped for. This phase requires introspection and Training and might be the most elusive of all the steps. Accept yourself: Alongside knowing yourself, you must accept yourself. Be proud of the one you are with whatever weaknesses and limitations You find you have. For example, you should be willing to accept that you may not be the richest, prettiest, or smartest person in the room. On the other hand, Enjoy and accept that you are “The only one of a kind”, uniquely and exceptional in other areas of your life. Read books Or listen to: Life is too short to keep stumbling in obscurity. Books are lamps and roadmaps given to you by your predecessors. Your Mission here is to read and Listen and expand your awareness and knowledge. Books are perhaps the fastest way to upgrade your mindset. Choose the people you spend time with: Your mindset is an aggregate of the mindsets of those around you. If you want to cultivate a healthy mindset, then you must have people with healthy mindsets around you or at least, no toxic person. Control the things you consume: From TV shows, movies, music to social media feeds, your mind is literally fed. Therefore, you need to take responsibility for this content. You need to make sure that the content is not harmful to your mind. Chose the ones that inspire and motivate. Plan and stick to healthy routines: “We are creatures of habit” -we like routines, and it is activities that we perform consistently that get wired into our minds. Hence, you need to consciously pick your routines. Exercise: Working out would help clear your mind – giving you clarity and perspective. Meditation is a powerful tool that enables you to step outside your own thoughts and examine them. Practicing meditation can help you become self-aware and help you identify deep seethed emotions, and then resolve them. Challenge and rewrite unhealthy thoughts: Most people have been unconsciously programmed by trauma, abuse and other toxic experiences to believe and hold on to unhealthy and limiting beliefs. They should be ready to challenge such thoughts whenever they arise and rewrite them with positive affirmations. Practice positive affirmations: They entail repeating kind and true words to yourself. It involves reminding yourself who you truly are, and the potentials you hold. Let go of fear: You can’t grow if you let fear stop you. It is totally okay to be scared, but you must have the courage to let it go – to proceed even when the result is uncertain. Learn from mistakes and failures: Finally, rather than giving up when you encounter setbacks, it is crucial that you learn, strategize, and attack the challenges again. The keyword here is “learn", and the secret is to separate yourself from your mistakes and failures.
