4 Ways To Correct Your Mindset Towards A Better Life

In This Article:

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.

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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
