The largest roadblock we'll ever face in life, is the person we see in the mirror.
See it’s interesting to me how we can literally be standing in our own way and not even realize
it.
But how right.
How can we be the very thing that’s blocking our own progress.
I mean it seems like a self inflicted contradiction right.
Because if I want my life to move forward, why would I also hold myself back.
But it happens.
I mean I’ve done it and I’m sure you’ve done it too.
Which is why today I want to share 6 ways I level up my mindset and get out of my own
way in hopes that it encourages you to do the same.
The first thing that I've done, is I changed my self-talk.
Meaning I’ve adjusted the tone of the conversations I have with myself both with the person I
see in the mirror, but mainly up here.
You know the thoughts I have throughout the day.
Whether I’m working out, or sitting in silence, or just writing.
Whatever it is.
I’ve had to learn to be mindful of those conversations and really check myself whenever
I have thoughts that are laced with negativity right.
Because our minds are such powerful, powerful things and what we think about daily usually
becomes our reality.
So in order for me to change this, the space around me, my life.
I’ve had to learn how to change this first.
Number two, is I've created and built habits that support the mindset I have.
Or the mindset that I want and am actively developing.
So for example, as you may know already, writing plays a huge role in my life.
It’s how I express and communicate my personal feelings as well as the content that I share
with you.
And it’s a habit that supports my growth mindset because everything that challenges
me in life and the new things that I learn due to those challenges.
I then take and use it in my writing.
So for me every poem I write, or story I tell or video I post feels like a journal entry
in a way.
But other than writing, there are a hand full of other things that I’ve been experimenting
with and building habits out of.
Like meditation for example and I have an app of my phone called Headspace that I’ve
been playing around with but I’m also refining my daily routine and a few other things.
And I’ll definitely share more with you as I continue to explore this side of my journey.
But what I want to do is I really want to encourage you build and create habits of your
own that support the mindset that you have in your life.
Number three, is I stepped outside my comfort zone.
Now I just shared a video on the channel talking all about change and how difficult it is to
step outside our comfort zones and if you haven't seen it, I’ll leave a link to it
in the description below but I chose to do this, to step outside my comfort zone because
it encourages growth in life.
And in situations that are uncomfortable or unfamiliar it then requires us to act and
think on a different level right.
So if I want level up my thinking and give my mindset space to grow, the same way I am
physically.
Then I have to challenge it or challenge my mind to stimulate that growth.
And best way I know how to do this is by stepping outside my comfort zone.
Number four, is I'm conscious about everything I consume and listen to.
See I strongly believe that what we consume and listen to either has a positive effect
or a negative effect on our lives.
But the reality of this, of anything that has the potential to effect our lives is that
we have the power to decide and control what does and doesn’t.
And this includes everything that we consume and listen to.
Which is why we have to consistently practice maintaining this control daily.
And I do this by being conscious and intentional with the things I consume and listen to.
Because I have complete control over my life and the things I allow to affect me, and I’ll
always choose positivity or negativity.
Number five, is I had to accept that change is apart of the process.
Simply put, in life, we can either you adapt, learn and grow or we can complain and remain
trapped in stagnation.
See change is going to happen regardless if we’re ready for it to or not, but the moment
I accepted this.
That change is a part of the process.That change is going to happen.
I made a commitment to myself to adopt, learn and grow.
And this actually brings me to my last point but before I share it with you.
I hope you’re enjoying this conversation.

Ok, number six is commitment.
Now I've made the commitment to growing my life to places that seem impossible right.
See why dream about changing your life or wishing you could make a shift in your mindset.
When you can actually do it.
Now is it going to be easy, no.
There are still hurdles that I face because life will always present new challenges.
But when you want something you have to commit to it.
But you also have to commitment to committing.
