The Ongoing Process of Changing Your Mindset
Easier said than done but totally worthwhile. These are some of my ideas for working on this.
I am the only person inside my head. There is nobody else in here.
Sometimes that doesn’t seem true. Things that I watch and absorb of the world around me get in there. Frequently, it feels as though the influence of other sources could overwhelm me.
This is not the reality of this, however. I am the only one in here and as such the only one capable of being mindful of me. That means that my thoughts, feelings, and actions belong to me and me alone. I can learn things from other people, make new discoveries about life, the Universe, and everything. There are tons of resources I can turn to and ideas from other people I can apply to myself.
No matter how you look at it, though, it’s all up to me. I have all of the power to influence, control, alter, and change my mindset.
Everyone has this power. I have it, you have it, random strangers you see on the street have it. Part of being human is the empowerment you possess to change your mindset.
This takes a lot of work, though. Especially when you are working with deeply-rooted, outdated and unhelpful beliefs.
