Webster’s II New College Dictionary defines mindset as: A mental disposition or attitude that predetermines one’s responses to and interpretations of situations. Everyone chooses their own attitude; negative attitudes bring about negative responses to and negative interpretations of situations, the converse can be said about positive attitudes. So if one wants positive outcomes one must choose positive attitudes. It’s all in the mind.
Our ultimate desire is to feel happy whether we realize it or not. No one ever born ever had a desire to feel bad or unhappy. We all want to feel good but do we always choose the attitude that brings about that end? So then, it makes sense that, whatsoever it is in life we want to achieve, we begin with the end in mind. That end is to feel good. We have to set our mind to feel good, but how do we do that? Take to heart this famous quote; “Whatever you desire is in your head, just think about it and feel it.” Paul Martin.
Dr. Joe Vitale, author of The Attractor Factor and The Key has given some tips as to how we can set up our minds.
1. Know what you don’t want.
2. Know what you do want.
3. Get clear about what you want. Make it your intention.
4. Feel your intention already achieved. Get into an attitude of gratitude, giving thanks. Have real faith.
5. Let go… that is, don’t think about how you will achieve.
On one sheet of paper write down all that you don’t want in your life, all the negatives that are there now. Feel the emotions associated with the situation(s). Feel the bad feelings, because you want to get rid of them once and for all. The more you allow yourself to feel them, the more you release them.
Put that sheet aside and take another sheet of paper and write how you want that situation to be. Feel the joy of achievement as you write just as you felt the bad feelings so you could release them. Now experience the positive emotions, create a new picture to deposit into your mind. The more you immerse yourself in this new image and feelings, the faster you will manifest them. It all starts in the mind.
Now look at what you wrote on the 1st sheet and then tear it to bits and trash it, getting rid of those negative emotions. Take sheet 2 fold it up and carry it around with you for a week, deposit the contents into your subconscious, feeling good, giving thanks.
After trashing those bad feelings, you still have to do something to achieve your dreams. You want to take Inspired Action…any action taken based on a gut feeling or intuition. Have you ever felt an urge to go talk to a stranger or go to the corner store? Inspired action takes you closer to achieving your dream. Recognize the signals.
Place good images in your mind and you will have good feeling thoughts. Look around at people and things, there is something to appreciate. Once you start to
appreciate people and things around you, you will be happy, you will feel good.
Remember, our ultimate goal is to feel good. So we begin with the end in mind.
