Mindset Makeover

Sometimes the most common things surrounding us are the hardest to notice.

While the thinking brain comfortably analyses the situation, your emotional brain already responded to the situation. I said responded, not resolved

instead of telling yourself “I am angry” say “I feel anger.” You are not the human form of anger

one you should use to keep track of your thoughts and actions.

Humans are thinking beings. This ability differentiates us from other species

If everybody is excelling, nobody is.

Embrace minimalism, both mentally and environmentally. Many of us stress the most about our earthly belongings. Just like in the case of high expectations, the more you have, the more you fear to lose. Own the necessary. As little as possible. Stuff won’t make you happy, anyway. As Derek Sivers said, “Own less, depend on even less.”

Let me tell you a secret: As soon as you take a deep breath, gather the courage to tell yourself, “Yes, I’m average, but that’s just normal and I’m still worthy and capable of a happy life,” a lot of pressure will leave your system

Sometimes there is magic in a simple act.

People fear to accept mediocrity because they believe that’s the highway to living an unsuccessful and sad life. There are some hidden problems in thoughts like this. Namely, if you think that only an exceptional life is a worthy life, you basically consider most people’s lives unworthy.
