Countless people will take to the internet and their social media channels today, posting about positive mindsets and why you should have one. These posts, although inspiring in nature, won’t dive deeper into what this really means, and how you can restructure the very mindset you have in this moment. That’s why too many people will feel overwhelmed by the entire concept and fail to make any menial change to how they think – not realizing that they wield all of the power they need to be truly and unequivocally happy.
First, let’s look at what a mindset even means, and why you should allow your mindset to be more powerfully present in your life.
What is a Mindset?
A mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notions that are possessed by a person or groups of people. A mindset can also refer to a persons’ world view or philosophy of life. If you and another person are put in the same setting, with the same experiences/schedules, for 30-days, you can still have wildly different mindsets, even though everything else held constant. That’s because a mindset is completely unique to you and how you process your thoughts, what happens to you, what’s said to you and how you deal with it.
Understanding the uniqueness of a mindset and how it’s developed should both encourage and awaken you. You have the ability to control how you see the world around you, even if you have had a life of hardships and struggles. For Vivienne, she had chosen a safe job out of college, one that she thought would provide stability. But with a stable paycheck, she discovered that it was still miserable. That’s when she realized that her mind – the intangible essence of her personality – was much more powerful than she ever gave it credit for.
Placing Your Mindset into Abundance
Pivoting from being a seamstress, which was something that she never felt lined up with her divine purpose, into becoming a personal development consultant and leader, she stepped into her most powerful mindset. Today, her mindset is rooted in such abundance that nothing can waiver her faith and happiness with what she has curated for herself. She feels as it’s her purpose to share her experience with everyone else, so they, too, know that they can curate the dream life they have always wanted to live.
Vivienne today is a charismatic person of authenticity, with a big heart and pure kindness that allows her to bring out the genius in other people. She watches people open up and analyze their thinking patterns, so they are able to harness their unique gifts and talents that only they can share with the world. They become free to be the best versions of themselves, and it is truly something beautiful to behold.
Mindsets are more powerful than we give them credit for. How do you start to change yours? Reflect on how you think about things, and if it’s positive or negative thinking. Ask yourself why you think that way. Slowly but surely, watch your mindset change. It’s possible.
