5 WAYS TO BEGIN SHIFTING MINDSET
1 | Know that mindset matters, and that you are not the problem. Consider that you may just have some thought patterns that aren’t serving you
2 | Know what mindset is not: not the thought, not controlling the thought, not choosing an emotion or feeling, not manifesting. Mindset is simply a different tool in the toolbox.
3 | Shine the light: Bring awareness + start noticing thought patterns.
4 | Start thinking about the thought pattern feedback loop: how they affect mood, how you act, the decisions you make, and the results you get.
5 | Open the door to the possibility of changing those engrained patterns, which will change how you process information, and eventually change your brain.
