Positive vibes, positive life. How changing your mindset can change your life (and help in your business).
Glass half empty or half full? However you answer this is gonna determine your entire life. Having a positive mindset is everything. No, I really mean it, EVERYTHING. Noticing and focusing on the good things as they happen to you is incredibly important if you want to succeed in life and follow your correct path. And who doesn’t want to do that?
When you surround yourself with positive thoughts and energy, that’s what you’re going to be attracting into your life. And it works the other way too. If all you notice are the negatives, then you’re only bringing more of that negative energy into your reality.
Think of it from a scientific point of view - the frequency that you give out in your thoughts and feelings will determine your body’s vibrations, which in turn attracts vibrations of the same frequency. Therefore, positive attracts more positive and negative attracts more negative. Simple! Whatever you give focus and attention to will always come back to you, usually in higher quantities too. When you put your energy into focussing on the abundance of positivity in your life, that’s what you automatically attract.
Whether or not you believe in the law of attraction, the power of the universe, manifestation or ‘lucky girl syndrome’, you can’t deny the power of our minds. It’s a no-brainer that if you are constantly seeing the negatives in your life and focusing on them, then that’s all you’re going to see. Whether there’s positive things going on around, (which there definitely is) you’re not paying them any attention. And this is why you believe only negative things happen to you. You should, instead, be putting your time and energy into focussing on the good things and more importantly, expressing gratitude for them.
Gratitude is like the universe's way of letting you tell it exactly what you desire and what you want more of. When something makes you happy, even the slightest bit, allow yourself a moment to feel it. I promise you, once you start doing this you start finding more and more things to feel grateful for and then every day just feels like a gift and you feel so lucky!
In relation to your business, a positive mindset versus a negative one will determine how successful your business will become. Having read the above, why on earth would you risk attracting negative energy into your business? By starting your business with the mindset of, “this is never gonna sell’, or, ‘no one's gonna like these products’, or, ‘I can’t do all this’ - why are you even bothering?
When you have the notion of starting a business, it’s always paired with hope and excitement but it’s really easy to lose that on the way when you start to realise how much goes into running a business. The behind the scenes work paired with the fear of rejection from society and even just the idea that you’re having to go against the norm and work for yourself can be overpowering. And if you’re someone without a strong, positive mindset, this is where you’ll probably fail.
But we don’t want that! So what you’re gonna do when you start feeling this way is stop, take a break and remove yourself from what you’re doing, so that you can see the situation for what it is and combat it with buttloads of positivity. Start a journal, listen to an inspiring podcast, meditate or whatever it is you feel will bring more positive energy into your life. I bet you’ll start to feel better instantly. Then all you need to do is repeat this pattern until it’s second nature to you.
Take a look at who you surround yourself with too, and if her name is Debbie and she’s a downer, then sorry but she’s got to go. The people close to you in your life will impact you tremendously, so if they aren’t contributing positively then they aren’t for you. And, of course, it’s hard to cut people out of your life, but if you’re serious about living the best life you can live, then it’s gotta be done. You don’t need negative thoughts spilling into your life and reversing all the hard work you’ve done.
So if there’s something you want to do, something you want to start, somewhere you want to be - just go get it and keep your mind focussed on the good. You’ll get there.
