1. Focus only on what you want

<h3>Our brain has a huge role in how we perceive the world around us. The way we think influences the way we feel. And the way we feel further determines all our actions and behaviors. If the thoughts are healthy, empowering, and positive, so will be our lives. </h3><h3>Therefore, we have curated 7 steps towards a positive mindset for you.</h3>

7 Steps towards a Positive Mindset

There is always a lesson in everything that happens to us. The best way to improve the quality of your thoughts and create a positive and optimistic way of living is to look for the lessons in everything that happens to you and learn from them. In doing so, you will discover that nothing in life happens To you, it happens For you.

2. Problems have a hidden lesson to learn

The easiest and quickest way to inculcate positive thinking in your life is to express your gratitude for everything that happens to you and all around you by keeping a gratitude journal. While writing down the things you are thankful for, you build a healthy habit of looking for things to appreciate about yourself and your life. Once you taste the joy of being grateful, you will no longer want to waste your time and energy on stressful, chaotic, and painful thoughts, people and experiences.

It is impossible to achieve perfection. With perfection there is no room for improvement. When you try to do everything perfectly while overanalyzing everything, your body goes into survival mode. And when your body is in survival mode, you can’t really create ‘perfection’, but instead end up creating even more pain and frustration. So why hurt yourself trying to be perfect? We need to realize that perfection lies only in imperfection!

5. Let go of the idea of Perfection

Resistance is one of the greatest enemies of positive thinking. When you resist, you bring chaos to your mind. When the thoughts become chaotic, the body starts responding to all those unhealthy thoughts by creating all kinds of pains and diseases. When you go with the flow, and not against it; you return from chaos to balance, order, and harmony. This way, you'll discover that life was never meant to be a struggle and thoughts were never intended to be the master of your life, You were!

6. What you resist will persist

Our brain is capable of having a million thoughts each day that includes thoughts which are:<ul><li>Random</li><li>Toxic</li><li>Negative</li><li>Self-destructive, and many more.</li></ul>If we start believing every one of these thoughts, chances are that we will lose our minds in the end. Observe your mind. Observe your thoughts. Be wise enough not to identify yourself with your thoughts, especially if they are toxic and self-destructive. Always remember that you are not your mind. You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness behind these thoughts.

3. Never believe in everything that you think

The past is in the past & the future in the future! Choose to be present here & now. While thinking too much about what happened in the past & what may happen in the future, people often create a great deal of pain and suffering.This type of thinking soon leads to toxicity – for yourself and those you love. Your life is here and now, right in front of your eyes. Don’t run away from it. Make peace with it.  You are a powerful creator and the master of your own life!
