5 Daily Habits for a Healthy Mindset
Here at Inbloom we believe that having a strong mindset is everything. Having a strong mindset is going to be the difference between finding success and happiness. Your mindset and belief system affect everything in your life. They control how you feel, how you act, the perception that you have on the world around you, and ultimately, they control your overall quality of life.
Without having a strong mindset and belief system, you will struggle to make any meaningful progress in your life. Goals will be hard to achieve. Success will be hard to come by. Happiness will be a feeling that you only dream of feeling. In order to achieve the things that we want to get out of life, our mindset needs to match our beliefs and our desires.
5 Healthy Mindset Habits
The easiest way to cultivate a healthy mindset is to follow daily habits that keep you in a good state of mind. Here are 5 simple daily habits to keep your mind a calmer place:
1. Journal + Brain Dump
Started a habit of writing morning pages, or 3 pages of stream of consciousness thoughts, every morning. This process has been helpful for clearing your mind and getting you into a good mood before the day even starts. If you’re short on time, do a brain dump and write down what you’re anxious about, what you’re excited about, and what you need to get done for the day.
2. Review Goals + Vision List
If you’re the type of person who loves to set goals, I’m sure you can relate to planning them out and then totally forgetting about them. By reviewing your goals and vision daily, you can remember what you’re working towards and motivate yourself to do what’s most important.
3. Block Out Your Schedule
Waking up in the morning not knowing what to work on first can take up precious mental energy. Save yourself some time and energy by planning out your day the night before. Time-blocking is a great way to plan because it helps you see how much can get you done in a realistic timespan. If you write to-do lists that aren’t achievable, you’ll end up feeling defeated by the end of the day and that’s not something you want to deal with.
4. Mindset Check-Ins
Every now and then throughout the day, check-in with yourself. Ask what your mindset is like. For example, are you feeling scattered, frustrated, or content? When you bring awareness to what’s going on in your head, you can come back to the current moment and re-focus. Set reminders on your phone to do a check-in if you find it difficult to remember.
5. Limit Social Media Time
By setting some boundaries around the ways you use social media, You’ve been able to stop letting it suck up your mental energy. Make it a daily habit to spend more time creating than you do consume other people’s content.
The life that you are living is truly the one and only life that you are going to ever get to live. Don’t let the space within the walls of your head prevent you from making the most out of it. Focus on improving your mindset every single opportunity that you get because it is the only way that you will be able to improve your life. Every action first starts with a thought, so take that thought one that will lead to something special.
