Peaceful Practices: Molding Your Mindset

Peaceful Practices: Molding Your Mindset

"You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength." Marcus Aurelius

Your mindset, the way you think, interpret, and navigate your circumstances and your perception of reality, are everything. Learn to control your thoughts, and with it, your subsequent emotions and actions that follow. The good news is that you are entirely in control of the perspective you take into any situation, and with practice, you can develop and employ an unshakable mindset to bring about peace in all of life's happenings.

"You shouldn't give circumstances the power to rouse anger, for they don't care at all." Marcus Aurelius

Perspective is power, and everyone has a unique one that has been shaped through their personal journey and experiences. A person who has fought, beat the odds and survived stage 4 cancer, will likely look at an upcoming annual review meeting with a different perspective than a young professional, looking forward to their first evaluation and raise in there exciting new career. With that being said, you do not need to be a cancer survivor, to develop a sound and strong mindset when facing life's challenges and the unknown that undoubtedly lies ahead.

You can not control what others say and do to you, or outside events, however, you can make certain you are in control of how you respond. The activity below, entitled "Molding your Mindset," will help you to do just that. Sometimes, the best answer to a situation is silence, where another may call for action. The goal with molding your mindset, is being able to apply it to any circumstance. The process that follows, includes taking time to process your initial thoughts and interpretations, and moving forwards with reason and a more realistic understanding of the situation at hand. Please see the activity below, which can be downloaded for your viewing.

I hope you enjoyed this activity, check out my other "peaceful practices" on this website, as well as my "From WOLF to ALPHA" process for reaching your true potential. Remember that when you change your mind, you change your world. There is so much that is out of our control in life, so identifying what we can do to put ourselves in the best position for success and happiness is paramount. That starts and ends with a solid, positive, growth-mindset. Take care and be well.
