Creating a More Meaningful & Abundant Life: Part 3 - Mindset

Let’s explore the power of mindset! This video focuses on mindset, and how making conscious shifts completely transformed my perception of the world around me. By examining the unconscious narrative playing in my head, this has greatly impacted my relationships with others (but believe me, it's always a work in progress ;) ), and overall happiness and peace. Knowing that we have full agency to create our mindset/framework/operating system, is one of the most powerful realizations we can have. Here are some key takeaways:

• By making assumptions and taking on the emotions of others, this can lead to a miserable perception of the world.

• The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz completely transformed my view of the world. These are my takeaways on the 4 Agreements:

  1) Be impeccable with your word - This includes your thoughts about yourself and others.
  
  2) Don't make assumptions - When you catch yourself making an assumption, ask: Do I know this to be absolutely true?
  
  3) Don't take things personally - Compassion and empathy help us to recognize someone may be experiencing their own problems, and that we don't need to make it about us. This greatly impacts our ability to cultivate peace.
  
  4) Always do your best - Your best will shift from moment to moment, day to day.
  
  

• Once I began making conscious decisions about my mindset, I realized the choices available in creating my own framework, rather than relying on a default operating system.
