Keep That Positive Mindset

Keep that Positive Mindset
This is an absolute priority in the current situation.
Determine Your Reality
It’s important to realise that you determine your reality by the way you react to the world around you. When something happens, you get to choose whether it’s a positive or negative experience and react accordingly, keep your mind set on bigger and brighter things. If you feel yourself going down the rabbit hole of negative thought, flip the outlook, see the brighter side, be creative with your thoughts, keep it positive.
Always Start Your Day Strong
Create your morning ritual that reinforces how great life is, practice gratitude, be thankful for things no matter how small. Kick your day off listening to your favourite motivational music. "DJ Friction" for me, this is what I train to 😅😅. I also do 100 press-ups every morning.
Overload Your Brain with Positivity
You may be experiencing a lot of downtime, fill this time with positivity. There are millions of books, podcasts and videos for you to read, listen to and absorb. Keep those inspiring thoughts, brighter thoughts in your mind. Tap into their positive emotions.
Shit In = Shit Out
I use this expression a lot when dealing with software implementation, where the output result will only be as good as the input. This is no different with you and I. If you're feeding yourself negative thoughts they'll manifest themselves in negative actions and emotions. Mainstream Media thrives on promoting fear and negativity, so cut it out of your life. This is something I've personally done. (this also includes negative people)
Stop it in its tracks.
If you feel yourself slipping, interrupt your thought pattern and change your state of mind. Have an uplifting, happy memory, visualise it, feel all those happy emotions, use all your senses. Hum along to an upbeat, uplifting song to distract your thoughts and get yourself back on track.
If anyone wants to chat about anything just give me a shout.
