Tips to reset your perspective and turn your direction to the positive

If you were told that you have the ability to achieve anything you want, would you accept it, or would you start thinking about all the 'possible' negatives that could come your way? If your answer is the latter, it is long past time to free yourself from the grip of this negative mindset.

We all want good things in our lives - beauty, happiness, success, wealth - but we focus on the wrong thing to achieve them: The possibilities of what might not happen... So, when we want to achieve something, instead of focusing on what we can do to achieve it or imagining how we will feel when we do, we start making a list of things that might prevent us from achieving it.

So, how possible do you think it is to achieve a positive outcome with negative thoughts? Just as the sum of minus and minus makes a bigger minus, it is unlikely that anything positive will come from the combination of negative thoughts. So what needs to be done is quite simple in theory: change the perspective to a positive one.

Yes, we say easy in theory, because in practice it can be challenging for all of us... However, by improving your awareness and making a few small but effective adjustments, you can focus on the positive. Before trying to change your perspective to a positive one, you can start by clearing your mind of everything negative. In other words, by resetting your mind. Let's take a closer look at ways to reset the mind, and then at tips to change your perspective to a positive one.

If your mind has been filled with negativity for a long time, it will not be easy to clear it and train it to focus on the positive. Therefore, it must first be cleansed of everything negative and then filled with positives.

Generally, our personal prejudices consist of two layers. Past experiences that have affected us before and the core beliefs that these experiences have created in us. Your past experiences can have a positive or negative impact on the way you perceive yourself, which leads to beliefs that create your limitations, fears, doubts. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is to let go of these limiting beliefs, your values that hold you back; in other words, to break your prejudices.

Rather than focusing on the way something negative in your past actually happened, you can reinterpret it into a form that is acceptable to you today. In other words, release the pain, release the sadness, forgive, nourish yourself with the power your experiences have given you.

Your values are a list of things that are important to you in your life. They might include kindness, honesty, loyalty, compassion or ambition. Your core beliefs are a set of rules you have about yourself and how you want to live your life. Happiness, success or wealth may also be on this list. Write down the values and beliefs you would like to have in your life without any limitations. Decide what is important to you and what is essential. Make a long list and create the new you by incorporating everything on the list into your life.

When you take time for yourself, your whole world literally starts to change. Why? Because your mind has the time it needs to heal and overcome everything that has happened and to think about what it wants to happen next. Taking time for yourself allows you to think, learn, grow, challenge yourself, question your beliefs, plan your future.

By making a habit of taking time for yourself, you can train your mind in any direction you wish. As long as you listen to it, understand it, recognize its needs. Give yourself the time you need to discover what is right and what is wrong.
