A healthy mind is a loving mind; towards the self as well as others.
As life is constantly moving forward, moment by moment, we too need to learn how to best adapt to the circumstances and changes happening both within and without.
Below you will find a few powerful mindsets to adapt in your day-to-day life to make it more prosperous and rewarding.
An abundance mindset – growth mindset
”There is enough for everybody’s need, but not for everybody’s greed”. – Mahatma Gandhi
There is plenty for everyone to go around. There is no lack in this universe; it’s simply a belief that you have been telling yourself all these years. Honor other people’s successes, be genuinely happy for people living their best lives. If another person succeeds, it doesn’t mean that there will be less for you. Instead, regard it as a source of inspiration. Just look at nature – she’s filled with beauty. Just look at the sky – it’s filled with endless possibilities. Just feel the earth – it’s filled with comfort. Ease, and peace. It’s all there for you to take in. Look within – and you will notice you already have everything you will ever need.
Focus on yourself
To focus on yourself is not a bad thing. It neither makes you selfish nor ignorant to what is happening around you. First you fill your own cup, then, you show others how to fill theirs. Focusing on yourself, means that you take full responsibility for your life. You are the one in charge for your own happiness and peace of mind. You decide what your life will look like; you get to paint your own future. What colors will you choose?
Honor the season you are in
Just as it’s not summer all the time, also you can’t be blossoming every single day. There is a season for every mood, for every emotion, for every version of you. As the winter months might be more reflecting, cosy and filled with hours of solitude, the summer months might be more expressive, vibrant and filled with hours of connection and laughter. Look at winter as the perfect time to plant those seeds. Take time to nourish and water them daily. Be consistent in your attentiveness towards them. Then, when spring is knocking on your door and invading your garden those seeds will be sprouting and showing their true colors.
Acceptance
While honoring the season you’re in, don’t forget to accept the season as well. It’s only from acceptance that we move forward. Accepting ourselves fully, everything we have experienced, as well as those things we have not yet created. You are exactly where you need to be right now. It might be cloudy and messy, and seemingly without clear directions. However, know that it’s only a stopover, it’s not the final destination. You always have the power to evolve and grow past your current situation. Accept where you are, and from there advance further. It’s a journey, remember to enjoy it as well.
