Journaling to Shift Your Mindset
Journaling to Shift Your Mindset

Positivity is something we have to actively seek even when it isn’t easy. It is important to have a strategy to know how to shift from a negative place to a more positive one. This shift is known as a mindset shift because we can choose to voice our feelings, state our goals, and come up with a plan that is obtainable. You are literally shifting from a negative place to a positive one with a specific set of steps. A mindset shift can be used for a variety of reasons:

  • You woke up in a funk

  • You don’t feel like getting out of bed

  • You are having a bad day where it feels like one thing after another

  • You don’t want to work out

  • You are dreading doing something

  • You are struggling with motivation or procrastinating on a project

  • You are completely overwhelmed

  • You are cranky and no cup of coffee is helping

This post contains a quick video tutorial on how to do a mindset shift in any notebook or journal. You can also get some ideas of when to use a mindset shift from the informational slides that follow.
