How you feel matters….
Your beliefs lead to a thought which feeds into an emotion, which flows into the action you take!
You want to change your Mindset?
You have to change the way you feel.
How do you feel about the thing you need to do?
Are you using words and thoughts of encouragement OR
Do you look on these things as drudgery and pain?
Your mind responds to the pictures in your head and the words you tell yourself.
If you see the things you have to do as drudgery and pain, your responsive mind says “Oh you don’t like this, here are 10 reasons why you should not do that today.” And BAM you have the evidence you need to stay right where you are.
Our Lizard brain is hardwired to resist what’s unfamiliar and return to what’s familiar. This may have been useful in our caveman days but this keeps you stuck in unhelpful patterns.
You have got to learn to make the unfamiliar familiar. That’s the thinking behind habit change, that’s why it takes at least 21 days for a new habit to become familiar.
Your mind works to move you from pain to pleasure, that’s why it’s so easy to stay in our comfort zone. That’s where you feel good, you know who you are and what you’re about. Who wants to move to that scary place of taking action, where you may fail, the results are unknown….
So what do you do?
Reframe, remember your mind responds to the pictures in your head and the words you tell yourself, so……
Change the way you feel about your comfort zone, that needs to become the icky place to be. You will not feel good until you have achieved the Vision you have for yourself, that’s where the pleasure, that’s where the good emotions reside.
If you find yourself stuck in doing the same familiar things and they no longer bring you joy or you are paralyzed with fear when you think about the next logical step for your version of life success, it’s time for a reframe, get the inside right and the outside takes care of itself.
