I think I speak for everyone when I say that it is easy for us to get trapped in a whirlwind of negative emotions. Something can happen us during the day and instead of just having a bad MOMENT we turn into a bad day. Here are some things I have found to help switch my mindset from a negative one to a positive one.
- Take a time out: Step away from the situation, take a breather, calm your emotions down, and re-approach the situation logically not emotionally.
- Think about the feeling you want verse the belief you have. Search for things that support your FEELING not belief. So put on music or a podcast or go for a walk, whatever it is that is going to help you get to that feeling. What we search for is what we find.
- Guard your state. Be protective of your positive, loving state of mind. If it doesn’t support it, leave it.
- You don’t have to prove you’re right. Read that again. Most times, it is better to be kind than it is to be right.
- Self-care. If you don’t know what to do to change your mindset or mood, explore it. It could be meditation, going for a walk, listening to music, drinking tea, etc… When things happen, self-care is often the first thing that goes out the window and that is NOT okay.
- Direction/Mind shifting Mantra. I have a few mantras that I say when I need to switch my mood. A few examples are: New mood, new you. You are a goddamn cheetah. Chose what you want most over what you want now.
- Forgive and not make it about you.
- Turn to the person that calms your storm. This could be someone in real life like a friend or a podcaster, singer, etc…
- Know what provides you with a relief of physical emotions. Everything is energy. If you hold the emotions in , it will bubble up and explode inside you. Find your release.
- Try walking mediation. This is really helpful for people who have trouble sitting still.
