Perspective on Mindset
I thought I would share a few philosophical thoughts today. I am not a professional philosopher or anything just like to share my thoughts and opinions on philosophy. The first thing I want to talk about is mindset.
Mindset is one of those things that most people don’t believe works. For example, a majority of people do not believe your mood can be changed from changing your mindset. I find myself whether it be in or out of the gym pushing myself all because I genuinely tell myself I can do it. Of course everyone works differently but if you truly believe the words you tell yourself, your attitude towards that action can change.
When I personally tell myself I can do something or that I have to complete it no matter what, I feel a limit that was previously placed on my body vanish. I also feel a burst of energy to complete that action. Apart from just reaffirming these things in your mind one thing I like to do is take in a slow and deep breath. The breath helps with the sudden burst of energy.
I would say being in this mindset can be related to being focused on a task. You should also remember that you can do this with anything not just workouts. Those who have a focused min
dset in like will most likely succeed more in their endeavors. In the same way you can benefit from your mindset it can also negatively affect your mind. Of course if you are constantly not believing in yourself and putting yourself down you will decrease your chances of accomplishing your goals in life. The outside influences that you surround yourself with will affect your mindset as well.
You don’t want to listen to morbid or sad music when you’re feeling sad. An athlete who recently made it to the Olympics is going to have a stronger drive and mindset than your average person. That can be what separates those who strive for success from the mediocre. The method I shared with you is one of many but as long as you have a strong will and determination to stick to your goals, you will make it.
Even if you are not going to the Olympics, winning a Nobel peace prize, or making music for millions of people, that doesn’t mean you can’t integrate this mindset into your everyday living. If integrated enough who knows where you’ll find yourself in the future. Whether you want that average person to be you or for it to be the next person who reads this and has heard about your accomplishments worldwide is up to you.
