Episode Notes

Your attitudes and mindsets determine what you think of you and how you present in the world

Positive Mindset for You

• You don’t have to believe in positivity; just believe in change
• They can only impact your life in two ways. Decide which one it will be.
• Things will always go wrong. Be open to the possibility of solutions more than the possibility of demise
• If you don’t focus on the “failure,” even when things go wrong, it does not affect your future. If you do focus on “failure,” even when things go right, you’re anticipating the next wrong thing.

Attitudes about self: What are you telling you about you?

• Reframing negative self-talk into constructive questions
  • What can I learn from this?
  • What could I have done differently?
  • How might this experience prove to benefit me

Do less of this: 

• Stop allowing others’ praise to make you feel good about you (the praise of others feels good, but your self-praise feels great)
• Stop measuring your self-worth based on achievements or goals (achievements and goals are not the only means through which we can measure our worth)
• Stop the self-sabotage (look for the ways you are sabotaging yourself)
• Don’t lie about who you are (be honest about who you are)
• Don’t accept other people’s bs opinions about you if you have no reason to value their judgment (this is an offshoot of the first bullet. Analyze why certain people’s judgements matter to you so greatly)
• Don’t believe you don’t belong (believe that you belong)
• Don’t be a yes man (learn when to say yes and when to say no)
• Don’t despair about what you can’t change (try not to wallow in what cannot be changed in your past)
