Resetting your mindset can be a really powerful tool in helping you create a life exactly how you want it. It's amazing (and a little scary) how many opportunities, coincidences, people and circumstances we block if we're not in the right frame of mind.
We have so many thoughts in a day and as life gets busier, it's so much harder to control these thoughts and to keep our frame of mind clear and positive. Keeping your mind clear and positive creates a ripple like effect out into the Universe (otherwise called a frequency) and what you're thinking about, will then come about.
It's the Law of Attraction!
HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED TO CHANGE MY MINDSET?
You need to change your mindset if you're struggling with the following:
- Jealousy
- Being stuck in a rut (Physically, socially or in your mind)
- Time management (Managing your time equally between work, family and social life)
- Thinking negatively
- Talking negatively
- Doubting yourself
- Lack of inspiration and motivation
- Unsure of which path to take
- Turning to your phone/computer/social media when you're overwhelmed
SO, HOW DO I RESET MY MINDSET?!
Well, there's a few things but let's start with this.
You have to WANT and be WILLING to change.
Just like any problem you might have, you're not going to be able to change unless you really want to.
Get yourself to a point of NEEDING this change. Visualise yourself after this change and feel the feeling of relief and completion.
Really think about what resetting your mindset means to you. Why did you choose to read this blog and start on the pathway of resetting you mindset? Do you need to clear your headspace? Stop judging people? Focus on something in particular? Begin to think more positively?
TAKE SOME TIME OUT
I get that life is busy, but in order to clear your head, you have to clear your time. If you're studying - take a study break, if you're a parent - get a babysitter, if your work hours are demanding - take a personal leave day. Your mental health is so important. Small problems like getting overwhelmed or constantly thinking and talking negatively can effect your mental health in big ways down the track. (Even if you don't think it's a problem now.)
Do yourself a favour by taking a day or a few hours out to re-asses your life and your mindset. This hour or two of self help can be life changing.
JUST SIT
If you're into meditation:
Take at least half an hour to meditate in a quiet place with no distractions. Calm your mind, visualise yourself releasing negative energy and breathing in a white light of positive energy.
Try to get yourself to a state of nothing, so you're seeing nothing and you're thinking nothing. Ask the Universe (or whatever you believe in) to clear your mind and to help you focus on what is important. If you don't know what you need to be focusing on in your life, ask for guidance.
Guided meditations that I recommend:
(This is just music, but the frequency (852 Hz is connected to the principle of Light, and Light is a higher form of bioenergy.
This frequency can be used as a means for opening up communication with your higher self and awaken your intuition and inner strength. This frequency can be used to cleanse trapped negative energy and dissolve fear, overthinking and worries.)
If you're not into meditation:
Still find a quiet calm place to sit. Take in your surroundings and think about what you love about your life, and what you don't. Become clear about how you want to spend your time and how you want to use your energy.
You could also try one of the guided meditations above and see if you like it! I used to turn my nose up at meditation, but after I tried it and experienced instant results it was hard to stop!
BE GRATEFUL
The Law of Attraction states that you cannot attract anything new into your life if you're not 100% grateful for what you already have. Now, you can't be cheeky with the Law of Attraction. You can't just say 'okay yeah, I'm grateful for my house,' but be thinking in your mind 'I hate this old dump.' It's not going to work like that.
You need to get yourself to a state of being SO genuinely grateful. Do what you need to do to get there. What about the memories that house has given you? The happy times you spent in it? How the paint reminds you of your family home growing up. Look around, and do whatever it takes to get yourself to a state of gratefulness.
Now write down everything you're grateful for. This is SO powerful. I'm talking EVERYTHING from the safety and health of you and your family, to the money in your bank account, to the clothes you own, to the book you're going to read that night, to the person that smiled at you earlier, to the time you have to relax etc.

LET GO OF THE SMALL STUFF
One of my New Years Resolutions was to stop sweating the small stuff, and I tell ya what! I am loving it. Now that I'm making a conscious effort to focus on the positives and not giving small issues the time of day, I realise how much time and negative energy I was wasting stressing on these tiny things! Think about all the times you have wasted in the past stressing about things that don't matter at all now.
VISUALIZE
Visualisation is not only fun, inspiring and exciting, it is productive! Visualising what you want puts you on an amazing frequency and sends you on the way to receiving the good stuff in life!
Visualising can be done at anytime - while meditating, while on the bus, while reading or while on your lunch break. Although, the most powerful time to visualise is when you first wake, or when you're about to fall asleep.
For those of you who don't know what visualising is, it's basically imagining what you want. Creating a little movie in your mind and playing it out exactly how you want your life to go. Remember, your mind can't tell the difference between imagination and real life - so trick it!
EXPECT GOOD STUFF
To receive and to fully change your mindset you need to believe that you're worth it all. You need to EXPECT all of this amazing stuff. If you don't believe, you won't receive!
Wake up every morning with a thankful heart knowing that good things are on their way to you.
MANTRAS
It doesn't just end after this little session unfortunately. You can't just take an hour out and your hard work is done. While the time you take to complete these steps will play a huge part in resetting your mindset and you will feel instantly refreshed, you need to remind yourself each day about what you want and who you are.
Self talk is a vital exercise in your minds health. Telling yourself you are something and believing it is SO powerful.
Figure out what mantras work for you and for what you want. Say them over and over, and really BELIEVE what you're saying!
Some examples:
- I am loved
- I am focused
- I am succesful
- I am healthy
- I am worthy
- I am abundant
- I am happy
- I am relaxed
- I believe in myself
- My mind is clear
- I only focus on the good
- I am finding it easy to stay positive
- Everything is working out how it should
- I am thankful for the Universe's guidance
- I am thankful that everything is under control
