How’s Your 2016 Going?
Hi!
I wrote a blog post near the
end of January. I was thinking about the
New Year and what I hope to achieve and accomplish.
I shared that I used to be
quite specific on a variety of categories that I set goals for.
This year, as I shared, I
only thought about 3 things: Life, Love and Health.
How are you doing so far with
your goals?
I think it’s helpful to pause
each month and reflect. See how you’re
doing.
Is your life evolving the way
you had hoped?
If not, what can you do about
it?
There’s a great book that I
refer to periodically. It’s called “mindset: The New Psychology of Success”,
by Carol Dweck.
As we live our lives, our
mindset can make a huge difference in what we achieve and become.
We don’t have to always be
happy. It can make you anxious to try
and be happy all the time. That’s not
realistic.
Did you ever wonder what
would happen if when someone asked the common polite question, “How are you?” you
launched into what may really be going on in your life?
It could be a lot of
fun!
Mindset helps with the realty of life, and speaks to
what we have in our own power to control.
We all spend time in our own
heads… that self- talk that is constant.
What mindset offers is way to approach life inside out. Start with the talk that goes on in your own
head. Assess, analyze and adjust your
way of looking at things.
By the simple act of
adjusting your approach, your mindset, you have the chance to truly change your
own life.
I am not speaking about positive
thinking.
Positive thinking is useful,
but as I know for myself, sometimes I can get trapped in that… what changing
your mindset does, is manage your approach to life.
If now that it is February 16th,
2016, the first month of the year is done, we are halfway though the second,
and you are feeling you’d like to tweak, adjust, or change parts of your life,
check this book out.
Mindset: it’s useful and easy to read.
I know that for my first big
goal of 2016, LIFE, this book has made a difference. It’s a great tool to help reset your
thoughts, manage your life, and design
your personal approach to your own life.
Here’s to finding your way
well!
Until next time,
Pam
