I have a question for you. When has having a pessimistic mindset ever helped? Any decent answers? Probably not. Over the last couple years I’ve done my best to rewire my brain to ONLY see the world from a optimistic lens. It takes effort but has had a ripple effect on my energy, my mood and how I carry myself in the world. Today we’re going to dive into 8 mindsets that have positively impacted my life.   Having dived into the self development space heavily over the last 5 years, these are the 8 mindsets that I live by : 1 : You win the morning, you win the day. Create space in the beginning of your day to do the habits that help you feel your best self.  2 : Shoot your shot with everything. It could be someone you’re attracted to, a job you’re considering applying to, a cold email you have neglected to send etc. Just go for it and see what happens. 3 : Live 24hrs at a time. The longer we spend focusing on the future, the less time & energy we have to make the best of the day in front of us.  4 : Stay Dialed In. Regardless of what category or area of your life you’re working on right now, go all in on it. Cut out distractions and do what you need to do. When you’re ready to move onto the next area of your life, do it & dial in on it as well.  5 : Go one more. Anytime you feel like tossing in the towel in on any area of your life, remind yourself to just give it one more shot. This perspective will help keep us in the game when we feel like giving up.  6 : Let go of what you can’t control. Any time or energy spent getting caught up on things that are completely out of our control is a waste. We must instead surrender to where life is trying to take us.   7 : How you do one thing is how you do everything. I am my biggest quality accountability partner and I try to put my best foot forward with anything that I do. 8 : Seek discomfort. All the greatest things in life are truly on the opposite side of our comfort zone. With that being said, we gotta pursue whatever interests us.     Challenge for the listeners :  Take 10 minutes within the next 24hrs and consider two things. One, do you find yourself operating from an optimistic or pessimistic mindset more often than not? Know that majority of us operate from a pessimistic one without even being aware of it and all it takes is a little bit of rewiring the brain to change it. Secondly, of the eight mindsets I discussed today, do any resonate or speak to you the most? If so, spend some time investigating it more and consider what changes you may want to make moving forward. Also consider the mindsets you know to be true that help you that maybe I didn’t discuss.      Questions from the SDI Community  Rugtomize : How to keep reminding ourselves to stay positive during the hard times?
