Cancel, Clear, Delete

When I look at my journey through this life, I wonder why we go through what we go through. All the interactions we share among others both challenging and positive. Our experiences shape us.  Our brains give us the perception of life we feel we should live.  I always felt if I continue doing things that were “right” then I would be comfortable and going in the right direction.   Sometimes, negative thoughts would come in my head even when I know I am doing the “right” thing.   My ego is playing tricks on me.  I am beginning to understand that it is normal to have doubts and uncertainly about things I do especially new things.  It is important to keep in mind that it is ok that you have these thoughts but try to not let them take over you. I remember having that feeling when I was around friends and feeling I had to conform with ideas that were not align to mine in my childhood.  It was growing very difficult following others when it was not truly in my heart.  I would usually distance myself and cry.   I knew it did not feel right but I wanted to fit in with others.  What I have begun to realize is that

You can rewrite the script in your life and create whatever you want.  I never liked to write and look at me writing a blog.  Who knew?

Steps on How you can Reframe your Mindset one day at time

  1. If you catch yourself saying something negative or have negative thoughts in your head, do not worry, think of 3 positive words or thoughts about yourself and swipe your hands in order to push the energy away from you and say “Cancel, Clear, Delete.”  This will help undo what was say or thought negatively.
  2. Use “I AM” affirmations such as “I AM WORTHY,” “I AM LOVE,” I AM SHINING BRIGHTLY” etc.  Using “I AM” allows you to already feel as if you are that statement.  You may have a feeling or knowing that it is true to you.
  3. Try meditating or yoga first thing in the morning (5-10 minutes) before starting activities in your day.  This will help you establish a calm, relaxing framework in your mind so that you can take control of your day.

These steps take self-discipline from you but if you are reading this, it is within you and you are ready to bring love, joy and abundance in your life!!!!

Remember, life is a journey, not permanent to your present moment.

  1. This is beautiful! I have started doing Ashtanga yoga daily a couple of weeks ago, I can already see a huge difference mentally. Thank you for sharing.

  2. This is very helpful. as someone who struggles with anxiety i am often my harshest critic and it usually ends up in i am not good enough so i needed this reminder that I am good enough.

  3. I try to meditate every morning before starting my day. On the days that I don’t, it is hard to be in the right mindset and I am usually playing “mental catch up” for the rest of the day. Thank you for some great tips!

    • If you feel like some days you don’t have time in the mornings, try meditation for 5 minutes. That can still help in some way. Discipline is key!!!

  4. I like the affirmations idea because they keep you with a positive mindset and are very helpful to the mind and spirit. For someone who doesn’t like writing, you write pretty well.

    • Thank you very much. I am happy you like the affirmations. It really helps me within my journey. I believe it will help you too!!!

  5. Changing my mindset is something I’ve tried to actively work on lately, it can be so much easier said than done. Love the idea of affirmations.

    • Changing your mindset is important. It does take time but it can be done with being gentle to yourself.

    • Thanks. I sometimes can overthink but now it is matter of catching and reminding yourself and remaining positive!!!

  6. I always think you always have the next decision to make in life. The one right in front of you. You cannot change the past or know the future. But you always have the present. And in that moment you can change the world.

  7. Yes,sometimes our mind is weird.It is difficult to control the negative feelings and thoughts.Your advice and tips are extremely helpful.I like the tip about thinking of positive words.

    • We are human. We will experience positive and negative experiences. Continue to bring positivity towards yourself!!!!

  8. “Cancel, Clear, Delete.” This is really powerful in how to reset your mindset. I have to use this every time I need to reset to tell me the “I am”s.

  9. Great tips! I often catch myself focusing on the negative, what I don’t have, etc. I have been trying to focus on what I do have and what I am currently blessed with. Affirmations are a great idea!
