Can Shift Happen?

Is shifting your mindset possible, even now?

Do you find yourself using everything in your toolbox trying to get to inner peace, hopefulness, and maybe even trusting what’s happening in the world? Or in your personal world?

Have you officially banned yourself from watching or reading the news, trying to ignore the headlines that sneak through? Do you cringe watching even a minute of the late-night comedy news, unable to see humor in what’s going on? Instead, are you binging on anything non-political, silly, and mindless?

Yeah, I know. Living on planet earth these last few months (or years) is challenging. Shifting your mindset from negative, hopeless, and worried, to positive, hopeful, and filled with possibility-thinking might seem impossible.

Is that something you should even be attempting?

Or is boiling with rage justifiable and even important right now?

The tremendous ‘tests’ going on may have triggered what appears to be a justifiable negative mindset. Living reactively, stuck in fear, anticipating the next tumultuous shoe to drop, even if it isn’t your shoe size, is where many find themselves without question.

But, what about the basic Law of Manifestation that states thoughts always manifest in a physical form? Should you be trying to shift your despondent mindset to prevent that self-fulfilling prophecy? Have you applied various strategies to get past that gloomy Eeyore-esque attitude, but nothing sticks?

What is Mindset?

Mindset means, in simple terms, how your mind is set. It’s the context in which you hold and experience life. It’s your frame of mind, either fleeting, based on circumstance or continually.

Compare it to a radio “station” you are tuned into, the frequency you operate from without realizing it. Mostly, it’s stuck there subconsciously.

Mindset is different than thinking about something. Pondering, planning, debating, logically figuring out. Mindset is the way you’re thinking, your attitudes, opinions, judgments, and anticipations based on a litany of pesky programmed beliefs.

It may look like your mindset is based on personal experience, but the opposite is true: How you perceive personal experiences is based on the lens you see it with – your mindset.

In other words, mindset determines how you perceive, interpret and approach things. If it’s positive, you see things positively, hopefully; if it’s negative, it’s like an out-of-date eyeglass prescription causing everything to appear blurry.

With a negative mindset, you read the news, and your focus is drawn to how depressing things are. If it’s positive, you see possibility, opportunity, and trust in the unfolding evolution of the world.

Yeah, no matter what’s going on.

Mindset also defines how you see yourself. It determines your level of self-confidence and self-esteem as well as your willingness to be open to change and personal development.

A fixed mindset convinces you to believe that your basic qualities are unalterable traits. Rather than trying to develop or enhance your attributes, you spend time justifying, quantifying, and feeling hopeless about them. You may try various things to bring about personal change, but you always land in the same hopeless dung pile.

You have an extensive list of reasons why you can’t change your mindset: Your genetics, those past traumas, your upbringing, society, sex, race, age, body type, education, finances, lack of confidence, no time, etc., etc.!

Here’s a cute riddle: Like a professional con artist, a stuck mindset dictates that it is stuck, and you believe it.

Where Does Mindset Originate?

Your primitive, fear-based consciousness is hardwired to make sure you survive. It’s the groundwork that develops the core of your mindset.

Here’s how it works: Prior to the onset of your ability to think logically, specific incidents containing pain or loss, as well as times you believe you caused pain or loss, have you make decisions about yourself, others, and life. Those decisions become your subconscious inner programming, determining your “belief system” from then on.

When anything similar happens, those beliefs get triggered and become more rigid. That creates your mindset.

Basically, your mindset’s job is to try to protect you by reminding you of your previous pain or loss and to try to prevent you from causing more pain or loss.

This cycle continues even when your experiences are counter to those beliefs, even when life repeatedly shows those notions as faulty or ridiculous.

The most important thing that happens from that programming cycle is you repeatedly attract situations to prove you are right about what you decided. Remember, thoughts become things!

Mindset Shifts

Have you heard repeatedly, “Change your mind and change your life”? Simplistic and sure easier said than done.

After decades of working with people, I can attest that a fixed mindset is the biggest opposition to transformation. Those long-held, survival-based notions offer predictability, comfort, and security, even if subconsciously.

Changing requires getting to and neutralizing the origins of those programmed notions. Without pulling punches, that takes digging. Your subconscious mind resides well hidden in the shadows and hates being exposed.

However, if you have a strong, pure desire to change, with mindfulness, willingness and dedicated inner digging, even stubborn false beliefs can be transcended. Not by simply recognizing and questioning them, but by finding and pulling up their roots.

IMHO, that’s your superpower and it’s well worth the effort!

But remember: Your mindset is simply trying to keep you safe the only way it believes it can.

So, next time you find yourself wallowing in negativity, ask yourself if this is your stubborn, negative mindset trying to convince you that this is the way things are; nothing ever changes; life sucks; or whatever.

Take note of your attitude, your automatic, triggered thoughts, your reaction to hearing news reports, your judgments about people, and any beliefs, resentments, and fears about life in general.

Particularly observe those self-sabotaging, limiting thoughts dictating false information about yourself and patterns showing up to prove they are right. By observation and acknowledgment, you are starting to “bust” those thoughts as untruths, releasing some of their power to affect your life.

Then, ask yourself if you really want to change. Let your pigheaded mindset answer that question. Chances are, it believes it’s more comfortable, safer, easier, less risky to stay stuck in the muck.

Go a little deeper and ask: What fears do I have if I were to change? Trust what comes to mind even if it’s illogical.

The next step is (shameless plug) reaching out to enroll in my next Perfect Life Awakening course for a big shovel to resolve the source of false inner beliefs holding you back.

Shhh…Your Mindset Doesn’t Want to Hear This

Remember the Bigger Picture: The entire world is experiencing a huge transformation, a shake up to wake us up. You chose to be here to go through those changes. You agreed to bring something important called YOU.

The power is within you to shift your mindset simply because you deserve to. Trust that you and the planet deserve that.

Because shift happens no matter what your mindset is trying to tell you!
