All too often, life can start to feel a bit too ‘difficult.’
It doesn’t take a lot of ‘chaos’ to make us feel like our lives are headed in a negative, downward spiral.
This speaks to the human capacity for hopelessness.
Unfortunately, along with our human intelligence and our ability to plan for the future, we also have a great capacity for hopelessness.
Sometimes, when we look ahead into the future, we see defeat instead of victory.
And this can truly be a difficult thing to deal with.
So today, we’re going to talk about 3 very simple mindset shifts that you can make to help you not just change how you feel about your life—but also, how effective you are at it overall.
These mindset shifts are relatively simple. Anyone can utilize them, and they tend to work best when incorporated into your daily meditation routine.
But they can also be tremendously effective.
Let’s dive into it.
1. Gratitude
A lot of people underestimate the power of gratitude.
In fact, gratitude can actually do a lot to help you change your mindset on a daily basis.
Expressing and demonstrating gratitude for all of the good things you’re experiencing in life, on an intentional and consistent basis, can really do a lot to help you re-align your mind with the positive things that are happening—which are easy to forget when we’re going through hard times.
2. Power
It’s important to remember that, as a human, you have a tremendous amount of power over your life.
You have a tremendous amount of potential within you.
You can actually create whatever kind of life you’d like—if you’re willing to do the extra work that such a destiny will require of you.
Just knowing that we have the power to change our lives as we see fit is crucial—because this is the vehicle for ultimately transforming our lives for the better.
3. Resiliency
Listen—humans are incredibly resilient.
In fact, this is kind of a human superpower.
Think of all the difficult challenges and situations that you’ve overcome in your life.
Think about all of the trials, tribulations, and disasters that you’ve survived and pulled through.
You may not think of yourself as tough or resilient—but the fact that you’re still here, still applying yourself, and still trying is evidence that you’re actually doing a lot better job than you likely believe you are.
And that really truly counts for something, and it’s important to keep it at the forefront of your mind—especially when you start to feel a bit negative or hopeless about the future.
