Mindset is everything.

4 Ways To Correct Your Mindset Towards A Better Life
Andrea Defilló

Your mindset is you, it is everything. Your mindset dictates your future, makes your decisions and creates outcomes. How you think is how you lead your life, and how you lead your life is how others perceive you. Here are some examples of how to slowly change your mind towards a better, stronger you.

1. Positivity over negativity. 

Giphy

You never lose, either you win, or you learn! We all make mistakes, what matters is how we handle them, and our lives after them. The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. Its ok to make mistakes, in fact it is important to, in order to learn and change into a better person.

2. Change is necessary. 

Giphy

Progress is impossible without change. You cannot progress if you do not change. You live, and you learn, if you stay stagnant and scared to live your life, you will never blossom into the person you are meant to. Do not be scared of change because it is inevitable.

3. Be kind, but never let anybody walk all over you. 

Giphy

Know your worth! In a world like today's it is important to not only know this but practice it. It costs nothing to be kind, in fact be kind as much as you can, humanity needs it, but NEVER let people walk all over you, or use you. Trust me people will use you as much as they possibly can, especially if you show weakness like if you are "too nice", so just be aware and alert, or you will get hurt.

4. Hype yourself up, but stay humble. 

Giphy

It is important to love yourself and believe in yourself. It is important for your mental health, but there is no need to go overboard with it. Things like egocentrism only isolate you from people, it causes them to not want to be around you. We all need somebody to lean on, so be careful how you treat your friends. Sometimes you need to hype yourself up because nobody will do that for you and in the end, we are the only person we really have, but we also need other humans, never forget that.

The brain is the most powerful organ in our body. It can materialize ideas into actual things and actions. Nowadays I think your mindset is one of the most important things. How you think is how you act and how you feel. Your mindset can make things happen for you, or stop things from happening to you, it can be the difference between life and death for you. It is time we start taking it seriously.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
