3 Things Destroying Your Mindset (And How to Turn it Around)

Written By Lara May

Your mindset includes the beliefs, assumptions and attitudes that alter how you view reality and life experiences. A negative mindset distorts things in an unhelpful way and feels draining.

Here are 3 common mindset disruptors and how to course correct:

1. Judging Yourself and Others

Constantly criticizing yourself or others leads to feelings of shame, resentment, and disconnect.

Shift this by:

- Practicing self-compassion and inner empathy when you make a mistake

- Appreciating that all humans have flaws and weaknesses 

- Assuming good intent in others before judging them

- Focusing on seeing the good in people rather than nitpicking their faults

2. Worrying About the Future

Chronic worry and anxiety about what might happen fuels a mindset of lack, uncertainty and fear.

Shift this by:

- Bringing your attention back to the present moment using grounding techniques when anxious thoughts arise

- Limiting speculation - stick with factual evidence of the current situation

- Interrupting Alarmist Thinking - ask "What's most likely?" "How can I handle this?"

- Visualizing positive outcomes and taking constructive action towards goals

3. Dwelling on the Past

Ruminating on past disappointments, failed relationships, lost opportunities fosters regret, sadness and victimhood.

Shift this by:

- Practicing gratitude to focus on blessings in life right now rather than past hardships

- Using affirmations and perspective reframing to see past events as learning experiences

- Being compassionate to your past self - acknowledge past pain but don't obsess over it

- Setting goals for your present and future based on your values

- Letting go through mindfulness practices and living in the now

Our mindset evolves when we consciously question automatic negative thought patterns and choose to focus on possibilities, optimism and purposeful action. With regular practice shifting perspective, you create a mindset aligned with your best self.

In summary, limiting the unhealthy mental habits of harsh self-judgment, chronic worry, and rumination prevents your mindset from becoming skewed in an overly negative direction. Challenge critical inner voices, stay present, reframe how you view past events, and assume good intent in yourself and others. Implementing even small mindset adjustments accumulates into significant positive change over time.
