Your Mission here is to read and Listen and expand your awareness and knowledge. Books are perhaps the fastest way to upgrade your mindset. Choose the people you spend time with: Your mindset is an aggregate of the mindsets of those around you. If you want to cultivate a healthy mindset, then you must have people with healthy mindsets around you or at least, no toxic person.

You need to make sure that the content is not harmful to your mind. Chose the ones that inspire and motivate.

Hence, you need to consciously pick your routines. Exercise: Working out would help clear your mind – giving you clarity and perspective. Meditation is a powerful tool that enables you to step outside your own thoughts and examine them. Practicing meditation can help you become self-aware and help you identify deep seethed emotions, and then resolve them.

They should be ready to challenge such thoughts whenever they arise and rewrite them with positive affirmations. Practice positive affirmations: They entail repeating kind and true words to yourself. It involves reminding yourself who you truly are, and the potentials you hold. Let go of fear: You can’t grow if you let fear stop you. It is totally okay to be scared, but you must have the courage to let it go – to proceed even when the result is uncertain.
