Written by Linda Mitchell

It’s easy to let disappointments, frustrations and daily struggles alter your overall mindset. When things go in every direction except the one you want, it’s easy to get discouraged, however, remember that struggles and obstacles are only temporary. Look at each challenge as a steppingstone to future success. This 21-day plan will help you develop a positive mindset so giving up won’t be an option for you!

Want to be like most high achievers? Eliminating negative thinking is a prerequisite. You can achieve a changed mindset in as little as 21 days; and don’t be surprised to learn that all the tools you need are already within you. This plan will help you cultivate and expand

the necessary skills. Commit to making these important changes for 21 days:

Confront your disappointments. Avoid sweeping them under the rug, even if you’d rather not face them. When you ignore disappointments, feelings linger, and unhealthy patterns develop. What you resist persists and often pops back up at the most inopportune times, so allow yourself to fully feel the disappointment and you’ll likely find it’s more manageable than expected. Find solutions or a way to pivot your plan and keep going. You owe this to yourself. Resist allowing disappointments to diminish the joy of other achievements.

Reflect on your achievements. Spend a few moments each day acknowledging your successes including the smallest ones you can think of. Remember, the greatest architectural structures begin with small pieces of stone. Celebrating large and small accomplishments daily creates a solid foundation for future victory and attracts more success and positivity into your world. Begin by noticing how many little things cause you to smile each day. Those small accomplishments add up, even if the impact doesn’t seem farreaching in the moment.

Center yourself spiritually. Spiritual balance is important to creating inner peace. This leads to positive attitudes and enjoyable days. When you’re at ease with what’s happening in your life, it’s harder for difficulties to take control. Stay in the present moment and avoid ruminating over past events or worrying about future possibilities. Daily spiritual practices keep you grounded and sane in unpredictable times. It’s what allows you to be more accepting of situations even when you don’t like them. Discover which practices feel best to you (meditation, prayer, journaling, yoga etc.) and reserve even a brief time each day to sit in stillness to connect with your inner self. Pay attention to the wisdom that comes up. Allow all emotions, thoughts, feelings and inspirations to be received. Each has a message and purpose and may even help you attain emotional healing.

From The Story

“When things go in every direction except the one you want, it’s easy to get discouraged.”

Surround yourself with positive people who support and uplift you. These influences help nurture your new mindset. Having friends and family around can remind you of how beautiful life can be. Their support makes a world of difference so make a special effort daily to connect with people who bring out the best in you.

Visualize your goals and desires coming to fruition. This is time well spent. What we focus on expands! The more you visualize what you want – rather than focusing on the problem – the more positive you’ll feel. As a bonus, this practice helps rewire your brain for success and accelerates the transformation of desires into physical reality.

You’re only as successful as the effort you put into making positive changes so intentionally focus on these adjustments every day for 21 days. It takes that long to initiate habits, whether good or bad. Your aim is to form positive habits and use them to cultivate a peaceful, contented and fulfilling life.

By day 22, you’ll realize how much you enjoy and yearn to continue everything you practiced for the last three weeks. You’ll likely want to expand your new principles of positive living. That’s when you know you’ve transformed into a positive thinker with all the promise in the world!
