In order to execute a positive mindset, then you have to recognize your mindset and change it to positivity:
Here are some success enabling, and mindset enabling patterns:
1. Believing in your Unique Skills, Talents and Capabilities
- Believing in our own innate skills, talent and capabilities is not only important from a professional development perspective, it also enables you to align your uniqueness in its entirety with your potential. Several studies reveal that we are the happiest and most effective when we can utilize our individual abilities to the highest degree possible. The objective is to allow you to rise beyond your current limitations and maximize your personal potential.
2. Viewing Life as a "Platform" for Opportunities
- Viewing life as a big platform of opportunities opens doors for opportunities to materialize. It focuses our minds on the possibilities rather than the limitations. Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have a disproportionate amount of luck? They seem to be at the right place at the right time or meet the right people at the right time. The truth is that it isn't mere luck; most of these people look for opportunities and find them, because their mind is open and receptive to opportunities.
3. Accepting and Expecting Positive Change
- Change has a tendency to reward people who embrace it. Welcoming change also means having the courage to explore new areas of potential success. An open attitude toward change is essential for positive change to take place.
4. Feeling Empowered and in Charge
- Accepting responsibility for your own destiny and feeling empowered to shape your destiny according to your ideas is a key success factor. Successful people don't look for other people or circumstances to shape their destiny. They actively take control and create their destiny.
5. Persistence
- Many people have great goals and visions. Unfortunately, the majority of people lose interest when the desired results don't materialize as quickly or easily as they anticipated - they give up and never try again. If you talk to people who have achieved great things in life, they will tell you that persistence is one of the key factors for their success. If you want to succeed, you need to be persistent. Try and try until you succeed.
6. Creating Mutually Beneficial Relationships
-Creating mutually beneficial relationships with other people is not only important for our social well-being, but also for any kind of success we seek to achieve. It is by giving and taking that we open these doors to new, and sometimes unexpected, great opportunities.
7. Self Confidence and Self Esteem
- A healthy level of self confidence and self esteem is not only necessary, it is essential for any kind of success we seek achieve. Only when you're comfortable with who you are and confident in what you can do, will other people believe in you and your abilities. This applies both to your personal life as well as your professional life.
8. Living with Purpose
- All successful and generally happy people display high levels of purpose and action orientation. They keep their goals in mind, act on their ideas, follow through with their plans and stay the course until they achieve what they want.
9. Accepting and Offering Help
- Many people have a hard time asking others for help. They confuse accepting help from others with weakness. This couldn't be farther from reality. Most successful people know about the importance of seeking and accepting help. They achieve their goals by leveraging other people's skills, strengths or contacts that they themselves lack. At the same time, they offer their help to others and extend their circle of valuable relationships.
10. Seeing Setbacks as Opportunities for Progression
- Most successful people will tell you that they have had their share of setbacks. What sets them apart is that they accept setbacks as a natural phenomenon and have the ability to stay focused on their long-term goals. Setbacks are often accompanied by opportunities and it is key that you continue to look for these opportunities while you experience setbacks.
So these are some of the positive enablers to incorporate in your mindset to help change those negative thoughts and ideas into positive ones.
One the other hand, these are the negative mindset enablers, once you identify what you want to rid your thought patterns of, as soon as you can pinpoint them.
The Negative Enablers are:
1. Feeling "not good enough"
- One of the key reasons why most people never reach their full potential is rooted in various forms of mostly unconscious beliefs of not being good enough. Although most people don't like to admit it, it continues to lead the chats of top "success blockers".
2. Fear and Resistance to Change
- Resisting change is mostly coupled with fear of the unknown. It is often evidenced by people who despite their unhappiness with their situation experience resistance to exploring opportunities for change. This resistance to change often leads to missed opportunities for advancement.
3. Dependencies or Co-Dependencies
- Perceptions of dependencies and co-dependencies come in many forms. The result, however, is mostly the erroneous belief that our happiness and success is dependent on certain people, actions or circumstances outside of our control.
4. Blaming Others for Missed Opportunities
- We've all experienced instances where we thought other people stood in the way of our success. If these experiences turn into core beliefs that we carry with us, consciously or unconsciously, we not only create excuses for not progressing, but also obstacles to recognize ways to work around them and achieve our goals.
5. Negative Expectations
- There are multiple roots causing attitudes of negative expectations. Negative expectations in life tend to create self-fulfilling prophesies. If our mindset reflects an attitude of "I can't possibly do or achieve that", chances are that these predictions will become a reality. People with generally negative expectations often feel that life is a constant struggle and the next negative event is just around the corner. Imagine an athlete going into Olympic Games thinking "I can't possibly win", or a CEO of a company thinking "I don't believe we'll ever succeed here". Releasing negative expectations is key to any form of success you may want to achieve.
6. "I-Don't-Deserve" Attitudes
- I-don't-deserve attitudes are often deeply rooted beliefs connected with beliefs of inferiority. Because we unconsciously believe that we don't deserve to strive for or achieve certain things, we either "go into the game" with low expectations for success, or often don't even try. The result is often that we simply miss out.
7. Being a Victim of Circumstances
- Victims of circumstances tend to accept unhappiness, mediocrity or failure as part of their destiny. Victims of circumstances often feel helpless, they think cannot or don't know how to do or achieve certain things. They often miss to realize that they have the power to change their circumstances. Therefore, they don't empower themselves to take control in shaping their circumstances according to their wishes.
8. Procrastination and Passivity
- Positive change always requires an orientation toward action. The best objectives and plans don't mean much of there's lack of action and follow-through. And yet, one of the top reasons most people don't progress or fail to achieve their goals is because they don't follow through.
9. Earning Approval or Love of Others
- Cognitive patterns reflecting the necessity to earn the approval or love of other people can create serious limitations on many fronts. These attitudes divert our thoughts, behaviors and actions from our own individual needs and goals to doing to what's good for someone else. We can be supportive and helpful to others while staying true to ourselves.
10. Rational Excuses for Irrational Behavior
- Rational excuses for irrational behavior come to light when we find "good reasons" for why certain things can't be done, or why we do things that shouldn't be done. Excuses, even if packaged in rational sounding reasons, can't hide the fact that we're still looking at excuses. As long as we believe these "good excuses" positive change cannot be initiated.
These things listed above are negative things we incorporate into our mind-settings to block us from success. The idea is when you notice them cropping up to address them so you can start to change your automatic thoughts into positive ones. It's about training your mind to be positive. Like learning anything new, at first it is hard, but as you go along it becomes easier to do and then automatic.
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that is at the core of one's mind, thoughts, words, images and then behavior and the conduct that promote growth, expansion and ultimately success with one is trying to achieve in one's life. A positive mind is one that expects no less than happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome in every situation in one's life. It is true that what the mind expects it finds.
It is also a fact that not everyone is open or believes the idea of positive thinking. Some scoff at it while others find it to be nonsense. This is especially true when one has great odds and hardships stacked against them day in and day out. We have all either been told or told someone at some point in our lives to "Think Positive". However, most people do not take these two words seriously at all much less literally. This is because most of us do not really know what they mean.
Both positivity and negativity are contagious. We all affect each other in this way when we meet people who either we allow in our lives or choose to keep them out. When we meet someone we decide how we want to deal with them based on things like their body language and then what and how they may say something to us. People sense our auras just as we sense theirs and just as they affect us we affect them as well. It is also a fact that if we are positive people are more willing to help us when a problem arises. The same is true for most people will avoid someone they view as positive.
When we are in a negative mindset, negative thoughts manifest in negative words, attitudes; causing more negativity in terms of moods and actions which are passed on to those around you as well. In order to turn the mind towards the positive, it takes both inner work and training on our parts to de-condition those negative things that have become part of us. Negative thoughts and patterns do not change over night. It took a long time for you to get to the point you are at when you are negative so it won't magically disappear.
One of the ways to begin to change a negative mindset is when a negative thought enters your mind to consciously replace it with a good one. It will try to enter again and then has to be replaced again. As often as it enters your mind that's how frequently it needs to be changed. It's almost like seeing two pictures in front of you a good one and bad one and you must consciously choose the good one again and again until it becomes automatic. It is persistence that teaches you to ignore the bad thoughts and replace them with positive ones. This does not however mean to block out reality and live in fantasy. This means that if you have a problem instead of just feeling helpless and hopeless about it you look for constructive ways to resolve, the better.
If you are faced with tough or difficult circumstances that can paralyze positivity fight to think in the positive here and now and try and not worry about tomorrow. Get through each moment to moment and find a sense of peace that you accomplished that. Keep focused on any glimmer of good that may be conjured up from your bad situation and use that as an incentive. In this case persistence goes a long way.
Another way to help you on your journey to positivity is to use repetition of positive affirmations when a negative thought comes up. When you feel the old negative thought creeping in, replace it with a positive saying. For instance; I will not give in to this negative moment and I will succeed today. Negativity is like an addiction that constantly has to be battled by any positive means necessary.
