You are Perfect!

Ok, I have to get something off my chest. I want to let everyone reading this and everyone you will be passing this along to know that "You are Perfect!" You were made perfectly. You do things perfectly. You are perfect just the way you are. You don't need to change you. You don't need to change a thing about yourself. BUT, what you may want to do is change the way in which you think about things, Your Mindset. And, the circumstances surrounding your life, Your Environment. Today will be a lesson on Mindset.

Mindset is crucial. Mindset is the way in which you look at things. Your lens if you will. Your mindset will allow you to do things and see things in your own way. Your mindset will allow you to take on challenges or keep you away from them. Your mindset can be positive or negative. Your mindset can change from situation to situation. BUT one of the best things about MINDSET is it's not something that you need to live with forever, YOU can CHANGE the program inside your mind, so you can change your mindset. Within a very short period of time you can begin to make shifts in the way in which you think about yourself and/or situations.

In my mind I had always felt like I was less than most other people that I know. I had felt this way since the beginning of time. I felt like other people are calmer, I felt that other people are more thoughtful and I felt that other people have their "shit" together much better than I did. I'm not trying to brag when I tell you this, but here are the facts about my life: I have a Master's Degree. I have two wonderful children that I have and will move mountains for. I have an amazing husband who cares about me and loves me. I have wonderful parents and a great extended family that I adore. I have the most terrific friends. I love the work that I get to do, and I'm freaking amazing at it because I have success story after success story. I am a mentor to other professionals and have taught College classes. But inside my mind I still would reduce myself to nothing. An insignificant fleck among all the positives and all the successes I have had in my life.

Since I started working with my Life Coach, I've realized that I had a lot of work to do to begin shifting my mind from thinking negatively about myself to thinking positively about myself. Our minds are such incredible tools and are truly able to re-invent themselves time and time again. Additionally, when I started to shift my mindset at the urging of my Coach I realized that the effects of my negative mindset have a HUGE impact on my relationships with other people.

As an example, one of the ways in which I am training my mind to think a lot more positively about myself is to disallow any negative implications about myself to even slip through my lips. So if I'm about to say "Oh, I did that wrong, dummy" I'll actually replace my thinking and words with "Oh well, that was a mistake, I'll learn from it and move on." In my head I might also add in that you can only make a mistake if you're brave enough to try something.

Here's a quote from a master of mindset, J.K. Rowling, she says "We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better." As some of you may know J.K. Rowling is the author of the infamous Harry Potter series which she invented at a place in her life where she was a homeless, single mother. If anyone has an amazing mindset to get herself from penniless to a multi-millionaire with multiple businesses and massive success, it's her. In her quote she says we actually have what we already need inside ourselves, whether it be the next best idea we have for our families or businesses, or the way in which we decide to think about ourselves, our mindsets. You can imagine yourself as someone who is the kindest person in the room, someone who can contribute to intellectual conversations and someone who is an amazing mother, wife, friend, and daughter. And when you imagine you start to believe. And sometimes, it only takes one step at a time towards another way of thinking about something to make it come true. Remember you are prefect just the way you are. The tweaks to your mindset won't change your perfection, because your perfection goes without saying, now you just need to catch your mind up!

You are perfect exactly the way you are.
