Avoiding negative mindset

Negative mindset


When you become aware of what's going on in your head, you can avoid getting stuck in negative thought patterns that start to alter your perception of who you are. You are not the thoughts you think about yourself, I promise you.

If you want to make any kind of positive change in your life, take a look at your current mindset and see where you might be holding yourself back. Sometimes our thoughts can get us into weird places on a mental and emotional level. We might be overly critical of ourselves or our actions often without even realizing it. That’s why CBT known as cognitive behavioural therapy helps us understand how we can improve the we think and behave. As you can see the graphic term below.


it’s time to take a look at your current mindset and see where you might be holding yourself back. Read motivational books, listen to podcasts, read blogs, learn new things, and find ways to challenge yourself. There are so many inspirational people out there who have overcome what you’re going through, so follow their journeys to keep you motivated.
A healthy mindset involves finding ways to grow from your thoughts instead of letting them control your life. Rather than dwelling on a negative thought until it becomes overwhelming.

The five C’s

1. Calmness

The ability to calm your mind when you’re under pressure is crucial to a healthy mindset. When your thoughts are all over the place, it’s difficult to see things as they really are. Calmness comes when you bring awareness to what’s happening and what you’re thinking. By figuring out go-to strategies and practices that calm your mind, you can center yourself and recognize when you’re overthinking or worrying about insignificant details.

2. Clarity

Having a clear idea of what’s important to you is key to dealing with indecision. So much of our brain space gets taken up when we’re unsure of who we are and what we want. When you get clear on your priorities, goals, and values, you can remove the overwhelm that comes from uncertainty.

3. Compassion

One of the biggest contributors to an unhealthy mindset is a lack of compassion towards yourself. When you’re constantly comparing yourself to others, pressuring yourself to be perfect, and doubting your own abilities, you only sabotage your success. Compassion allows you to accept yourself, set healthy expectations, and trust yourself and the journey you’re on. 

4. Concentration

Concentration is about commitment and dedication to yourself. We live in the age of distractions, which makes it all too easy to lose track of what’s important to you and even who you are. When you focus on what other people are doing instead of your own path, you get stuck. Focusing on what matters and making sacrifices with your time allows you to follow through and actually make progress.

5. Courage

Courage helps us take action. When we procrastinate and avoid taking action, we keep ourselves stuck. Courage might sound like it’s about taking big, scary leaps into the unknown, but sometimes courage is as small as tackling a simple task you’ve been putting off. Courage allows us to take imperfect action, and that action helps us to build confidence, resiliency, and strength within ourselves.

there is always a way to change your mindset and behaviour. I hope this helps you to work out a way to shifting your negative thoughts.

 Truths to inner peace  We all seek inner peace: the calm, clarity, and contentment that comes from falling into a harmonious balance with our internal self. But despite how essential inner peace is in finding true happiness, many of us don’t know where to start on this journey of personal growth and transformation. In today’s hectic and ever-changing world, inner peace may seem like a foreign concept, but cultivating it doesn't require huge life changes like moving to Bali.

Unlocking your full potential: A guide to self-improvement

Unlock your full potential: self improvement  Personal development is any activity that makes you a better person. Its goal is to give you more confidence and make you a happier, more satisfied individual. It concerns itself with improving awareness, honing talents, developing emotional intelligence and building your appreciation of yourself and all of your attributes. As with any significant undertaking, but especially one that can be as life-changing as personal development, it’s worth taking a deep look at why it is undertaken, or what your motivation should be before taking it on.  Motivation is the fuel that will keep you going as you discover and create the best version of yourself. It’s intrinsically related to purpose, because if you don’t know your purpose in life, you can hardly know what your destination should be and what motivations you need in order to get there. By reminding yourself of what your purpose or bottom line is, you are more likely to have the self-mo...
