Changing that Mindset

There are a lot of articles out there on how to be more positive. There are many strategies that also tells you how to turn that frown upside down.

I will be honest with you, I don't have a degree in psychology to tell you why you are feeling like this. I'm not a doctor to tell you the science behind on why our brains do the things they do.

I'm just a mom who has had negative thoughts since I don't know maybe before I became a teenager always trying to please everyone. I always thought negative, that why me. Always told myself I'm never good enough. When I was younger I thought telling myself not being good enough was just a motivator to keep going and get better.

Well that definitely changes once you get older, it changed from being a motivator to an constant talk of berating of myself on a daily basis. I knew it wasn't healthy but I didn't know how to change it. I really didn't. I thought it was just part of my life. It was just what it's going to be.

Everyone reaches that rock bottom where it just clicks. For everyone it's a different, it can be a anything, for me it was my daughter. She came home from school and just had this sad look on her face. She told me that she wasn't good enough to play catch with her friends, or run as fast. I knew right then I just had to change my mind set. I knew I had to change for her and for my family and especially for myself.

I needed to change that "I'm not good enough" mindset as I know my mindset is effecting her and I know she follows every move I make. Yes my rock bottom is not as dramatic as others but it was enough to change my how my mind thinks. It's made me more grateful for the things around me and for the small things I have never noticed before.

What I hope for all of this is I want my story to help anyone that it can. I want it to help people change their mentality and live a more happier and healthier life. If you need someone to chat or someone to just listen to you I'm here and am willing to help.
