On Creating Positive Mindset
Hey there, lovely overthinker! Let’s talk about something we all know should be easier but often feels like climbing Mount Everest in stilettos: staying positive.
Look, I know what you’re thinking: “Easier said than done, right?” Especially when your brain is playing its greatest hits album of “What Ifs” and “Worst-Case Scenarios.” But hear me out—a positive mindset isn’t about plastering a fake smile on your face or pretending your inbox isn’t a dumpster fire. It’s about learning to pivot your perspective, even when life’s throwing curveballs faster than you can swing.
So, let’s break it down with some tips to help you infuse a little more positivity into your professional (and personal) life:
1. Reframe, Don’t Shame
When you catch yourself spiraling into “I’ll never get this right” territory, stop. Pause. Take a breath. Ask yourself: “What’s another way to look at this?” Maybe that tough feedback at work isn’t a sign you’re failing but an opportunity to grow. Reframing is like putting on glasses—suddenly, everything looks a little clearer (and less doom-filled).
2. Celebrate the Micro-Wins
You don’t need to land a promotion or solve world peace to pat yourself on the back. Did you send that intimidating email? Celebrate. Did you resist the urge to check work emails at 10 PM? Throw yourself a mini parade. Positivity thrives when you give yourself credit for any step in the right direction, no matter how small.
3. Detox Your Inner Critic
If your inner dialogue sounds like a roast session, it’s time to shut it down. Talk to yourself like you’d talk to your best friend. Would you call her lazy, incompetent, or incapable? No? Then why do it to yourself? Be your own hype woman—your mindset will thank you.
4. Find Your "Me" Moment
Professional women are experts at being busy but amateurs at being still. Give yourself permission to slow down. Whether it’s a walk, a 5-minute dance break, or sneaking in an episode of that guilty-pleasure show—you’re allowed to do things just because they make you happy. Spoiler alert: it’s not selfish; it’s necessary.
5. Surround Yourself with Radiators
Ever notice how some people make you feel like you’re walking on sunshine, while others leave you emotionally drained? Choose the radiators—those people who radiate positivity and encouragement. Protect your energy like it’s your favorite latte on a Monday morning.
6. Set Boundaries Like a Boss
This might not sound like a "positivity tip," but trust me—saying “no” to things that drain you is saying “yes” to your mental well-being. Boundaries are the unsung heroes of a positive mindset.
Remember, shifting your mindset isn’t about flipping a switch. It’s about rewiring, step by step. And you don’t have to do it alone!
