Mindsets that Hold us Back

We have many individualized reasons that hold us back in life, that keep us from living our best lives. This list can become long and complicated, but I want to look at some of the biggest beliefs that weigh us down, the mindsets that hold us back, and how you can master your mindset. These are the reasons that affect most of us and they are also reasons that can be overcome!

Think about each of these as they relate to you. We are all different with different circumstances and views so you might have a different take on these than I do. These are my guidelines as I see them, the mindsets that we hold in our lives that we can work on so that they don’t hold us back from being the best version of ourselves.

Defining Boundaries as a Mum

I’ve been thinking about my boundaries lately. This isn’t something I’ve given much thought to if I’m honest. I have been ‘Mum’ for almost 13yrs now and with that comes a lot of blurred lines!

An Attitude of Gratitude Can Change Your Life

It’s quite a big statement, that an attitude of gratitude can change your life, don’t you think?

I want us to start taking gratitude seriously. Stop seeing it as a token of appreciation and start seeing it as a powerful mindset for change. We look at the world around us and life feels heavy on our shoulders. We worry for things that have not yet happened, fear for what ‘may’ come to pass. Why do we focus on all the things that make knots in our stomachs? Why do we stew in our own fears? What if we looked at life from a different, more positive, perspective? What if we saw all the blessings and the good in our lives? Do you think this would make a difference in your quality of life?
