Power-balls for a positive mindset are essential strategies that help you develop and maintain an aura of happiness. Life presents challenges on an all too frequent basis. Some of these are not easy to navigate. Identifying and utilizing effective power-balls, is key to resetting your mindset, placing you in a better position.
Developing a positive mindset takes work. Like any other change journey, you make choices every day. Every minute really! Good choices facilitate the process and keep you on track. Bad choices take you off course. But if you are willing to put in the work, you can experience a better life.
Here are 5 simple, yet effective power-balls to help you develop a positive mindset.
Powerball #1 – visuals that promote positive thoughts
A typical theme in workspaces, is the presence of pictures of loved ones. If you have a healthy work-life balance and get along well with your loved ones, then it’s a great place to start.
“But visuals don’t always have to be of photos of loved ones”.
They can be of places you want to visit or of things you like. Anything that makes you smile (not cry) every time you see it, works. If it motivates you – great! If it calms you down – awesome! Any picture that resets your equilibrium and brings you into a place of joy is exactly what you need.
Power-ball #2 – quotes that recalibrate your mindset
We are all too familiar with the power behind the “word”, whether written or spoken. People with “talking mothers and grandmothers” often refer to things they’ve heard from the mouths of experience (or pure generational repetition)! Print out the ones that inspire you to make a step in the right direction.
If you don’t have a talking maternal or paternal influence, then do some research. Books you read, podcasters you listen to, whenever you hear or read something that makes you want to explore a better version of yourself, write it down and place it in a prominent position.
Power-ball #3 – music purposes your mindset
Whether you are eclectic or not, including music in your daily routine can be an exhilarating experience. The soothing throes of your favorite genre can help bring you back to your center.
In this technology age, the sound of music can come in many forms. If you like the sounds of nature, you can bring them into your digital environment, on the device you use the most.
You may even enjoy music as your choice of ringtone on your phone or as a sound effect on your locked computer screen.
Power-ball #4 – exercise: restores your mind and body
Many people experience difficulty finding an exercise routine they like well enough to stick with for more than a few days. Yet the benefits are rarely disputed.
For those of us who cannot afford a personal trainer, that is really no excuse. Neither is the weather (whether hot or cold)! Nor the amount of work we have!
Make a choice everyday to get a certain amount of exercise done within a certain amount of time. Consider making it an appointment on your calendar. Like some other appointments you may grimace when the hour is approaching. You may even have to remind myself of your “why”. When you do it, no matter how you feel about it, you will reap the benefits of getting it done!
Choose to do it for your own sake!
Power-ball #5 – personal time: stimulates a positive mindset
“Becoming the best version of yourself empowers your best performance”.
#Metime is widely embraced as a good thing but not equally activated. It is easy to have your time consumed by the schedules of everyone else and attending to all the matters of life. If you keep spending without making a deposit, the well will in fact run dry.
While there are many other power-balls that can personally help you develop a positive mindset, these 5 have been identified by experts as being of value to everyone.
