How To Achieve A Positive Mindset In 2021 | 5 Practical Tips To Achieve Positive Mindset

“BE POSITIVE”. Haven’t you heard this innumerable times throughout your life. Most of us would have shaken our head and said a Yes now. Dr Kausthub Desikachar says his Father, Sir T K V Desikachar, repeatedly quoted that “However powerful or disturbing something may appear to be, it is our reaction to it that determines its effects.”

Kausthub, therefore, helps us learn how to achieve a positive mindset.

The truth is, there are difficult times each of us goes through in our lives. There could be different reasons for us to feel stressed, anxious or pessimistic about the financial struggles, health trials, family circumstances, social detachment, fear of failure, etc. All these struggles individually and professionally make our lives challenging, making it easy to stumble and slip into the trap of developing a negative mindset. These negative feelings add yet more negativity in an already devastating situation. Staying in a situation for long that which we can’t control only leaves us with unwanted doubts in life. Negativity causes stress, anxiety, worry, frustration and weakens your will-power and abilities. You can win half of life’s battles if you practice being positive, which in turn helps you be confident, allowing you to perform better and make the right decisions in life. Having a positive mentality doesn’t determine how long or how quickly you arrive at your target destination. It’s about how fast you bounce back when you fall/ fail. Don’t forget that every effort you put in and every failure you pass is the way to success. It always seems impossible until it is done.

5 PRACTICAL TIPS TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE MINDSET

Try and do a Google search on how to achieve a positive mindset, and you will see tons of suggestions. Dr Kausthub Desikachar has gathered five simple, yet most influential ideas, that you can follow to have a positive attitude.

  • Begin Your Day With Positive Affirmations:

    How you start your morning helps you establish the mood for the rest of the day. Talking to yourself and motivating you with positive affirmations like “Today will be a good day.”, “I’m going to be awesome today.”, “I can overcome my fear of failure.”,etc., is beneficial to uplift your mood and give you the power and confidence to achieve your goal.

  • Keep A Gratitude Journal:

    There is a well-known saying, “count the half-full glass” rather than “the glass as half empty”. There’s nothing such as a perfect day. When you confront a challenge, please focus on the benefits, no matter how small or unimportant they seem. Studies have observed that penning down the things you’re thankful for even during difficult times can amplify your confidence and sense of well-being. Having a Gratitude journal helps you reframe your challenges and hurdles as opportunities and possibilities for success and growth.
  • Turn Failures Into Lessons Learnt:

     

    It is a fact that humans make mistakes several times in multiple situations and with various people. Instead of focusing on how you failed, invest time understanding what you learnt from the situation and correct yourself next time when you face the same problem.

  • Stay Happy:

    Focus on being happy even during difficult times. Be open to humour and laugh it out. By doing so, it makes you happy. This way, your body releases Happy Hormones that boosts your productivity and increases your confidence level allowing you to stay positive.

  • Meditate:

     

    Meditate every morning before you start your day and the night before you sleep for at least 15 to 30 minutes. Meditation increases positivity and self-confidence, reduces anxiety, and helps you have a deeper understanding of yourself.

CONCLUSION

Dr Kausthub Desikachar says we have all been there. It might seem difficult in the beginning to make a change. But, remember it all starts with the first step. Kausthub encourages you to instil the above practical tips to achieve a positive mindset and wishes you all success in life.
