Here are some simple tips for creating a better mindset.
These tips are tried and tested and will improve your mental
well being if applied.
1. Don't believe everything you read in the news! The
major news companies know that Bad news sells, and if your not
careful you can get brain washed into thinking that the world is
full of muggers, rapists, and murderers. Life is what you
BELIEVE it to be.
2. Beware of seriousitis, its a disease that's affecting
a lot of people making them grumpy, cantankerous, and thoroughly
miserable. People suffering from seriousitis seem to moan a lot,
if its not footballers wages, kids of today, the health service,
the price of bread, or the whole world its something else! Be
wary, book a holiday to Disney land and be a big kid again.
Don't take life so seriously.
3. Why is it whenever people survive an ordeal
whether it be
cancer, plane crash or something similar they have a
greater appreciation of life? Suddenly they notice the birds in
the trees, the beautiful sunset at night, the smell of a rose as
they come to realize how precious life is and how much a gift
our, being Human is. When they thought they were losing it, it
was as if every thing was put in perspective, the miracle of
life.
I believe that we are truly privileged to be who we are and
should live every day as if it were our last. You don't have to
go through a traumatic ordeal to appreciate life, you can do it
now. Stop moaning about how life is so better for other (Lucky)
people and not you and remember those people who are less
fortunate than ourselves, there'd love to live like us. If we
only have one life on this earth, and as far as we know we do
lets make the best of it!
4. Make health your priority, look after your self,
exercise, eat well, stay young and develop a thirst for
knowledge. Don't buy into that as you get older things get
harder to learn rubbish! Your brain is like a muscle it needs to
be exercised with new varied bits of information not what's
happening in Eastenders. When the brain isn't used enough it
gets bored and will create problems to give you a bit of Drama.
5. Create a mission statement write it down, about
what your goal/s are for your life. What moves you? What
inspires you? What is your true purpose in this world anyway?
How do you want to be remembered when your gone? Find your
passion!! Look forward to new challenges and be curious about
them, get exited about them and enjoy learning about yourself
How good can I be, how far can I take myself ?. Delete the words
CANT or but what if from your vocabulary.
The
Principles of Self Confidence: By Steve Norton
Here below are the 6 universal steps that are used by
confident people the world over, and therefore must be used by
yourself if more confidence is your goal.
1. Remember confidence is a STATE of body and mind.
Use the posture or physiology of confidence. Stand or sit that
way, breathe that way, talk that way, look that way, do it
consistently. When you do this your body sends a message to your
nervous system which tells your brain I'M CONFIDENT! When ever
your not feeling very confident notice your posture and voice
tone I bet its not good. Change it into your position of
Confidence.
2. See mistakes as learning experiences, or
opportunities to learn. Say What can I learn from this when
things don't work out how you want them to. Mistakes are the
stepping stones to your eventual success!
3. Stop letting your mind poison you!! Don't just
listen to that negative chatter belittle you, tell it to SHUT
UP! You're the boss, tell it loud and clear its opinion is
bulls#@t. Tell your self you are super confident.
4. Visualize positive outcomes on a daily basis, let
your mind see what you want to happen, rather than dreaming up
totally ridiculous negative consequences that will never happen!
Use mental rehearsal for anything you want to improve upon, see
yourself performing in the way you would want to behave. (this
programmes your mind). N.B: This technique is very powerful.
5. Lighten up, loosen up, and cut your self some slack
(stop being so bloody serious and ENJOY YOURSELF!) Remember your
not perfect nobody is, see problems as challenges to conquer.
Stop mind reading you don't know what they're thinking about
you. Learn to value yourself!
6. Look forward to new challenges and be curious about
them, get exited about them and enjoy learning about yourself
How good can I be, how far can I take myself? Delete the words
CAN'T or but what if from your vocabulary.
No ifs or buts these 6 simple steps or principles, when used
as your daily thinking your confidence and life will improve
massively. Don't analyze them just DO THEM!
