Change Your Mindset, Your Mind Needs It

Change Your Mindset, Your Mind Needs It

This is a response to I Spent The 18 Months Writing Down One Positive OR Negative Thing A Day, And It Changed My Perspective Completely.

Keeping a positive mindset is very difficult.

There are always negative thoughts of self-doubt and self-sabotage that can linger in your mind, preventing any positivity.

Getting into a routine and doing activities that can help your mindset are ways to improve positive thoughts flowing through your mind instead of negative ones.

One activity to silence negative thoughts and gain a sense of calmness, comfort, and clarity is meditating. Meditation is a practice in which a technique is used called mindfulness— focusing the mind on a positive thought to train attention and awareness, ultimately achieving a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Using soft music like instrumental, soft sounds like brown noise, or even frequency sounds can be helpful during meditation sessions. When you meditate, repeating positive affirmations as you center your breathing is a great way to align your mindset.

Going on daily walks is another activity to elevate a positive mindset. Staying inside while scrolling on your phone and watching a show on your laptop won’t improve anything. Being outside in nature with fresh air and sunlight radiates a positive mindset.

Participating in pilates is not only good for your mindset, but also great for your body. Staying physical and constantly moving your body will help improve your health which later leads to a more improved mindset.

Journaling is one of the most common ways to assist positively. Writing down affirmations and manifesting certain things creates a new way of thinking. Saying phrases like, “Everything always works in my favor” and “The universe always has my back” are ways to alter your life. Once you start drilling new ideas about life you will become more appreciative of the things around you, therefore thinking more positively.

“I’ll start tomorrow,” “Next week seems like a good time to start,” “Next month I will get my life together.” Don’t give yourself a set the date time of when you are going to start. Start today. Once you get in the habit of thinking positively and changing your lifestyle to a better way of living, it will feel like a breath of fresh air (literally.)

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
