We all have times in our lives when it may seem hard to be the positive life force that we want to be. Because it is almost impossible to achieve your aspirations, goals and dreams from a position of negativity, and a lot of things in life can, understandably, impact your mindset.
A lot of clients come to me a little stressed out about things outside of their control – they seem to focus on things that they cannot do. Because I ask questions to challenge their thinking, I can get their mindset focussed to a position of gratitude, which means their perspective changes – every time.
What is a mindset?
Your mindset is a collection of thoughts and beliefs that shape your habits and habits affect how you feel, how you think and what you do. But, if you start from a position of gratitude, it will help you to develop a positive mindset.
If you feel a little down, or stuck, ask yourself some of these questions and notice how it impacts your mood. They will remind of the good things in your life.
