How to Change Your Mindset
Don’t worry, I’m not going to suggest brain surgery. But have you ever considered how much of what we believe, or feel is related to our mindset? To what we are wired to believe? Now, I am a DNA analyst, but I’m not just talking DNA here. I’m talking what we are taught. How our experiences shape us.

Perception is reality, so they say. What if to feel a different way you only needed to alter your perception?

Ok. Seriously, I know what you’re thinking. This might sound a bit “woo woo”, but is it really? Consider the geographical differences between people. How they say certain words, what they believe, what their upbringing has taught them.

What if everything we believed was a result of that? Well, here’s the thing, it is.

How can that help you? If you’re facing a mental block, if you’re feeling like you can’t possibly do more, what if all you had to do is change your mindset to change your reality? Here are 3 things you can do to change your mindset.

  1. This step you’ve likely already taken care of if you’re reading this. Recognize that your mindset around something needs to change. Whether it’s your mindset around money, career, relationships…all of the above? Recognize that it needs to change.
  2. Spell out what your limiting beliefs are. Do you believe you don’t have time? Do you fear running out of something? Do you operate from a place of lack, rather than a place of abundance? The thing you’re lacking – the satisfaction, the love, the money – is able to be replenished. It can change at any moment. Self-sabotage is when we let our fears creep in and rather than welcoming and recognizing fear, we try to suppress it. We cannot run from fear. Fear keeps us safe and alive. We must live with and honor our fear. When we do that, fear takes a back seat, and so do those behaviors like self-sabotage, which often comes from a lack mindset.
  3. Reality. Why do we hold onto those limiting beliefs? What is holding us back? What do we need to stop believing about ourselves in order to change our belief system and therefore our mindset?
Changing your mindset takes work. It takes continuous work. If you think about it though, so does self-sabotage and lack. Like a ton of work. You are constantly rebuilding the old you instead of growing. IS that what you want for you or your family? These processes have a lingering affect as they are passed on to your kids, and then to their kids – unless one person decides to do something different. That might seem like a lot to bear, but honestly, is passing on those same self-sabotaging behaviors to those we love the most even more to bear?
