Level Up your Mindset: Change Your Life for the Better
Your mindset and belief system affect everything in your life; from what you think and feel to how you act and react to the world around you.
In order to achieve your goals, your mindset needs to match your aspirations; otherwise, it might be holding you back from getting where you want to be.
Here are 7 effective ways you can upgrade your mindset:
1. Change your Self-Talk
The conversations you have with yourself are a direct reflection of your mind. If you are telling yourself “I am not good enough to achieve my dreams”, your thoughts will create your reality and this will hold you back from having the life you want. To upgrade your mindset, change your negative self-talk to an empowerment speech. Sounds cliché, but telling yourself “I can do this” or “I got this”, really works.
2. Change your Language
After changing your inner thought dialogue and the story you are telling yourself, change the way you talk to other people. Avoid phrases like “I am always like this” or “I am always doing this”. Furthermore, make it a habit to talk about the things that are going well in your life instead of complaining and talking about your problems. This will encourage an aura of abundance instead of fear and lack.
3. Determine the mindset you need and act as if
Pick a goal you want to achieve and ask yourself: “Which mindset do I need to achieve this goal?” and “Which mindset do people have that were successful at this goal?”.
For example, healthy & fit people might share the mindset “I love taking care of my body, nourishing it with whole foods and exercising every day.”. If it’s your goal to be healthy & fit, act as if you already HAVE the mindset of a healthy & fit person. This way, you are basically tricking your brain to adopt a new mindset and reinforcing it with action.
4. Surround yourself with like minds
Want to upgrade your money & success mindset? Start hanging out with people that are very successful and seem to have an abundance of money flowing their way at any time. It is easier to adopt a new mindset when you see that it is already working for other people. Learn how they think and adapt their daily habits to match their mindset.
5. Create new habits
Integrate powerful habits into your day that help reenforce your thinking with action. If you are upgrading from “fixed” to “growth” mindset, schedule time for learning and start noting down your learnings and achievements every day. If you are upgrading from “destination” to “journey” mindset, practice being mindful, enjoying the present moment and celebrating small successes.
6. Jump out of your comfort zone
If you put yourself in situations that challenge you, you have no other choice than to rise to the occasion. It becomes a necessity to survive.
