Thriving in 2022
4 mindsets to adopt for a better YOU and better YEAR!
Realizing It Ends- Starting with this one because once you truly have an understanding your time is not finite you’ll make different choices in life. As Dr. Wayne Dwyer put it, “don’t die with your music still in you.” You can’t put more time on the clock and we aren’t guaranteed another day. Take the risks. Say no to people/things that aren’t serving you. Ponder what really matters at the end of the day. Learn to let go of things you can’t control.
Intentions- everything starts with an intention. All that is possible, is possible for you. Go seven layers deep to find your WHY. When there is meaning behind what you are doing, the momentum stays strong and gets you through those tough days. Remind yourself to celebrate the little wins too. The great oak tree started from a tiny acorn.
Grateful Mindset- Be grateful for what you don’t have…Yet. You will find when you have gratitude for things big and small, blessings continue to happen. Words and thoughts are so powerful. Give less attention to what is currently happening, or the lack thereof, and shift your focus onto what you want.
Resilience- Regardless, you will endure some bumps in the road. It is important to be able to acknowledge setbacks and failures serve a purpose in preparing you for greatness. This also comes in form of people. Unfortunately, naysayers will come Projecting their fears and shortcomings on you but if you stay resilient their comments and actions will ricochet off of you. Remember the wise words of Theodore Roosevelt, “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
