Personal Development
Posted by Amanda Witthauer on August 14, 2023 at 1:21 amIt is so important when focusing on personal development to make sure you are also focused on your mindset. Your personal development plays a huge role in your success in wellness. Every thought becomes a feeling, the feeling leads to an action and that action leads to your result. If you want to change the result you must change the initial thought. This one simple awareness can lead to massive change. Pay attention to the reel that plays in your head daily. Is it positive, is it negative? You control the content, change it and you will change your life. Start by really paying attention to what your thoughts are, most of us don’t even know that we are having thoughts. It just is auto playing in the background. Start there and you’ll be surprised how much growth you can have just by changing a few simple things.

Stay away from negative energy. If people hang with people with negative energy, you will get negative effects. You ever hear the saying, you are who you hang out with? So very true.

Yes I call them energy suckers. I try to stay away from negative people completely, as I have realized throughout the years that they just drain my energy. You have to choose what you eat for a healthy body, exercise, why wouldn’t you protect your brain as well from what you see or hear. It’s always a choice. Choose wisely!

Absolutely! Focusing on mindset in personal development is integral to wellness and success. Here’s a short guide on the drastic changes one can make in one’s life through a positive mindset:
Awareness Of Thoughts
Mindfulness Practice: Set a daily time to train your mind for mindfulness or meditation. The goal is to pay attention to your thoughts. This would help defeat the automatic cosmic scripts that come into one’s head.
Journaling: Set a time in the evening to write down your thoughts on the day. Highlighting the recurring negative disks helped the exercise the most.
Look To Disprove Negative Thoughts
Cognitive Restructuring: Have a plan for automatically discrediting negative thoughts that occur often.
Some self-questions in that regard would be:
- Is this thought indeed true?
- What proof do I possess?
- What would I have said if I were the third person in this scenario?
Reframing: While self-debating, change the phrases from negative to positive or neutral. It might sound silly, but instead of saying, “This is too tough, I can’t do this,” rather say, “I will definitely give this a shot.”
List What You’re Grateful For
Daily Gratitude List: Mention three good things that happened during the day. The primary goal is to change your focus from the current negative experience to the focus on what needs to be appreciated. With time, this will help with your mindset.
Gratitude Journaling: Remember those good times, no matter how small, to improve your tendency toward pessimism.
Make An Intent Before Anything Else
Morning Affirmations: Kickstart your day by repeating some positive quotes that will benefit you, such as ”I can do whatever I want, that includes taking on the impossible’.”
Vision Board: These boards would greatly help in figuring out the goals that one wishes to achieve and the good lifestyle choices that one wants to incorporate into one’s life.
Start Being More Positive
Positive Influences: Whether it is bookstores, effective podcasts, or motivational videos, try to consume anything and everything that is more uplifting instead of people who bring you down. Surrounding yourself with loving people plays a crucial role, too.
Limit Negativity: Staying up to date with the news can sometimes be detrimental instead of beneficial in rooting out toxic relationships and interactions. Being around such people only lowers one’s energy and mindset.
Action Speaks Louder Than Words
Small Steps: To avoid feeling overwhelmed, set small milestones that you can easily meet and build up from. Whenever the kink timeline crosses a milestone mark, assuming it is a starting point makes reaching the next one that much easier.
Embrace Challenges: Shifting the Mantra from setbacks to seeing them as growing opportunities can be very easing, as the thoughts of fear or uncertainty can be shifted to a positive side.
Invest in Yourself
Seek Knowledge: Whether it be an online class to master a concept or a camp to learn a new skill, try to utilize your free time. That will not only lift up your self-esteem but also keep your healthy brain always engaged.
Personal Development Workshops: Many private personal development seminars are available, so attending such events will drastically help change your mindset.
Seek Alternative Viewpoints and be Ready to Abuse Them
Regular Reflection: Instead of adapting to a mistake you made, it is a better alternative to learn from it and schedule a time with yourself to analyze your progress. This will allow you to find what is working out and what needs to be altered in your approach.
Feedback Loop: Connect with reliable colleagues or friends to inquire about the changes they have witnessed in your growth and mindset shifts.
Through the change of thought we deliberately decide to undertake, we are bound to experience changes in our lives; growth and change influence our well-being in all aspects. All one requires here is patience and deliberate commitment. The result is transformational. The slightest of awareness can prove the most powerful: start small, devote, and believe. As a plan, surround yourself with supportive thoughts that will, in turn, motivate you through the long road. Patience is key.
