Shifting mindsets

The negative spiral of thought processes can trample even the best of us. Shifting mindsets is such a useful tool, that when not accessed frequently we forget we have access to. The growth mindset is one of my favorites. I’m always growing and learning. This mindset shift sounds easy enough - but when your in the depths of a negative situation where ever move looks worse than where you’re currently at — its difficult to shift. Here is when I look at everything happening as an opportunity for growth. What can I learn from this?

It’s been tears and anger and pushing through, but with the growth mindset shift it’s been well worth it. Healing out loud is such a beautifully difficult path, but one that I’m committed to maintaining. When we can connect and see what works for me as a possibility of something that could work for someone else and vice versa.

Recently I’ve been working with one of my clients in a series of one on one sessions. They have the ability to turn every situation into a negative aspect, finding either fault or a possibility of a negative outcome. I on the other hand look a life in such a positive way, looking for the positive outcomes or higher vibrational ways of thinking. During the sessions I’ll have the opportunity to in real time shift their mindset. This is a process, especially with the history of negative thinking. Stopping the spiral in the moment by giving possibility that although a negative outcome is something that could happen - so is a positive one. There are many explanations for situations happening and many different things that can exist at the same time.

Give it a try and next time you find your mind drifting into a negative outcome or a negative explanation for something - try shifting. Try to come up with a positive outcome or a positive explanation. It’s key to remember that the balance exists, even though it may not be your first thought - it does exist.
