Mindset

How many of us feel like we have some personal issues that we got to work on? What didn't kill me, gave me millions of unhealthy coping mechanisms. The real struggle is figuring them all out, because I think I'm a beautiful disaster lol. So I'm stepping out of my comfort zones and sitting in my feelings to figure out my behavior patterns, but somehow the logic reasoning to change still puzzles me. I can't blame the world and avoid things, so I'm learning to be more like Big Sean, taking the L and then bounce back. I try not to over think, but I am who I am, so I get five minutes to cry and then it is go time. Following society's ideal journey is like having a starring role in your life story and someone else is the author. So I got to do what's best for me and have a healthy mindset while doing it. In a previous post I mentioned going back to the basics, with that I just meant going back to the drawing board to figure things out. Now seriously, the basics!

Healthy Mindset Plan:

*Accept yourself: The best feeling in the world is looking in the mirror and accepting yourself for just the way you are. You were created to be uniquely you!

*Eat Healthy: For some odd reason, kale and salmon doesn't have the same guilty pleasure as Mc Donald's fries, Starbucks Frapps, and cake pops. Balance is key!

*Live in the moment: I find myself wondering about tomorrow, but haven't truly been present for today. I'm constantly getting my hopes up high to feel this rush of excitement for what's to come and once I have it, I'm like oh really, this was totally more exciting in my head lol. BUT the moral of the story is to enjoy the process and stop and smell the roses.

*Hobbies: Find the things you really enjoy and do them in your spare time, they give you purpose and meaning in life.

*Try new things: I'm such a routine person and change sometimes scares me, but trying new things gives me a new story to tell. Like oh remember that one time in Costa Rica lol

*Have fun: Laughing and fun times is amazing soul food, whatever your definition of fun is do that and let your soul glow.

*Communication: Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't assume someone should know how you feel, express it.

*Release and let it go: You get your 5 minutes to cry, shout, dwell, and could have's, would have's and should haves' and its time to let it go. I personally love to write it all down to get it out and later rip it up and toss it in the trash.

*Facts vs Feelings: Producing emotional responses are very normal but our feelings aren't facts. The truth could really hurt, but looking at the facts can help you better understand a situation and help with the healing process. (For instance if someone sends you a vague response in a text doesn't mean they are mad at you, maybe they are very busy and just had to send a quick reply. This is a perfect example where you can communicate to help the situation)

*Use failure to help to promote success: There is always a lessoned learned in failure, use it to grow. Don't dwell on it, hit reset and keep striving for success.

*Give back: One of the best feelings I ever experienced was the joy I felt passing out winter coats on Skid Row in Downtown LA. Be creative in your way of giving back and let it be something true from your heart, for some it may be feeding the homeless and others it can be playing board games with seniors in your local community.

Recently I posted a video on my Instagram page to express what I'm in search of and I shared that I was in search of Happiness. I thought the fruits of my labor would bring instant happiness. I strived to make moments perfect and when it was time boom nothing lol. Expectations killed my reality, but I know that having a healthy mindset will bring me peace and that gives me the fuel to take a moment to do the things I enjoy. I would have never thought that Nature really brings me joy lol.
