Simple Hacks to Change your Mindset & Change your Life

You may be feeling stuck, lacking purpose, demotivated, uninspired or just feeling down about yourself and life. Understand that when it comes to your mind, miracles happen everyday. So choose a mindset shift as your miracle and allow your life to transform.

Changing your mindset and improving your life involves a combination of self-awareness, choosing to focus on solutions, and taking consistent actions. Here are some simple steps to help you change your mindset and, subsequently, change your life:

Self-Reflection

First and foremost start with identifying any negative or limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. Get a notebook or exam pad, allocate some quiet time for yourself and just write. 

Pour out all the negativity, problems, issues and deep-set hurt, trauma, disappointment, etc. Mention names, be completely honest and let it flow from your mind onto the paper. Do this in one session, as you want to move forward not hang onto the past. After you done, burn the pages and see them go up in flames and as it does feel yourself get lighter and lighter as all this negativity is uplifted from you and destroyed. Allow yourself to feel proud of yourself for this experience and for choosing to be free and in control of your life.

Set Simple, Achievable Goals

You do not have to set lifetime goals at this point. You are simply focused on building healthy habits now so small wins help this part of your mindset grow. 

Set a small goal in the following areas:

• Health - 5000 to 10000 steps daily, next 7 days 10 squats a day

• Food - no sweet treats for 7 days, add more colour to your plate

• Leisure Time - choose a book to read, try planting herbs - one herb at a time

• Travel - Choose 2 destinations you want to travel to and plan your itinerary 

• Finance - Look at alternate ways to grow your money

• Career - Ask yourself if you love what you do? If yes, find ways you can grow in the field. If no, look into options that excite you and see what you need to do to achieve it.

If you spend time on each of these areas every week, you will slowly but surely start to become more knowledgeable, and in a year if you keep at it you will be doing the things your heart desires.

Ask Yourself the right questions?

eg. Why am I so happy? Why am I so successful? Why do I love travelling? Why does only good things happen to me? Why am I constantly attracting abundance in every aspect of my life. 

By asking these questions you are forcing yourself to think the best of yourself and your answers will help you reflect on positive solutions.

Be Grateful

Cultivate a habit of gratitude by regularly acknowledging and appreciating the positive aspects of your life. Keeping a gratitude journal can help you focus on the good things.

Help someone else

It can be motivational, inspirational, just listening, helping someone achieve a goal, uplifting and making someone feel worthy. These small acts of helping others helps you also reflect on you and this indirectly assists you to make changes to be an example to others.

Spend time in nature

Whether its in your garden, swimming, in the forest, at the beach. Spend time soaking up the positive energy nature gives so freely.

Celebrate Small Wins

Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements along the way, no matter how small they may seem. This can boost your confidence and motivation.

Stay Patient and Persistent

Changing your mindset and transforming your life is a gradual process. Be patient with yourself, and don't get discouraged if you encounter setbacks. Stay persistent in your efforts. Plants teach us patience. In order to grow, they require light, water, nutrients and love. Some plants grow slower than others. We need to be patient before we can see results.

Remember that changing your mindset is a continuous journey, and it may take time to see significant results. Consistency and a commitment to personal growth are key. Be open to adapt and evolve as you learn more about yourself and the world around you.
