How to Pivot to a Powerful Mindset- Part 2 of a 5 Part Series “Getting Back on Track”
Are you feeling emotionally exhausted right now? I’m guessing that we all are.
This global pandemic is something none of us has ever experienced before. It has
brought many intense and draining emotions such as fear, anger, worry, anxiety and frustration. There is no wrong way to feel. However, if these tougher emotions are left uncontrolled they could begin to filter the way we look at our lives even after the lockdown is lifted.
What do I mean by this?
Here’s what I mean. Imagine that you have two pairs of sunglasses. One is pink with
pink lenses and one other is blue with blue lenses. If you put the pink ones on, what
color is the world? Right! It’s pink. If you put the blue ones on, what color is the
world? Right again! It’s blue. It’s the same with your emotions. You “see” the world
through the emotions you live in and make decisions about your life from that
headspace.
So, unless we make a conscious decision to change the negative emotional patterns
we may have been living in while sheltering in place, we will continue to see the
world through that filter even after we step back into our lives. This may lead us to
feeling victimized, powerless and unable to create new possibilities for ourselves as
we navigate this new reality.
But, that’s not going to be you! I’m guessing that you are a someone who wants to
evolve, grow and move forward in your life, right? Right!!
Come with me now and I’ll show you “How to Pivot to a Powerful Mindset” in 3 simple steps:
Respond to where you are in your life rather than react to it. Responding gives YOU the control whereas reacting gives your power away to what is happening outside of you. Create the best course of action from where you are right now and choose who you want to be while you are taking that action. Be compassionate with yourself but steer clear of a “poor me” attitude. Every morning, set your intention to stay in a creative mindset and focus on the opportunities and possibilities in your life.
Take 100% responsibility for your life and OWN YOUR CHOICES. Ownership
of your life is at the root of positive transformation. Sitting back and
complaining or blaming others renders you powerless. Make the deliberate
shift from victim of your life to creator of your life by taking 100%
responsibility for your life. Decide on what is best for YOU and then take the
necessary steps to get you there. No more waiting and seeing how life plays
out or what others do before you get up and get going in your own life.
Come alive and see this situation as the opportunity for you to evolve beyond what you would have ever been without it. See this not as something that happened to you but something that happened for you. See that it has shaped you into a better, stronger and more creative version of yourself. Integrate what you have learned through this struggle and use it to for your own good and for the good of those around you.
I hope this added value to you. If it did, please share it with the people you love and care about. Drop me a comment below and let me know what’s on your mind and if there is anything you’d like me to bring to you in the future.

As always, take care of beautiful you. Hugs, Janie
