Mindset Matters.: The Always/Never Mindset

When the Universe leads you into a position of rest. You really should listen to what it has to teach.

I’ve been out on medical leave for 5 weeks and have about 3 more weeks to go.

It’s very easy to get caught up in the physical reality of just trying to heal. My healing has been slow on the physical level. So I found myself at times getting frustrated.

With anything in life there is usually a lesson to learn. This one, for me, was showing me how easily I get swept up in a negative mindset. I start to worry, and all the old stories begin to reveal themselves.

The stories of “Why does it always…” or “I never…” victim mindset comes back with a vengeance.

Do any of these sound familiar?

“They always do this to me.”

“I always mess things up.”

“I can never get ahead .”

I just overheard a woman saying “I’m so tired of always having to dig myself out .” I have to admit that struck me. I wanted to say “ I hear you, I feel that statement”. I believe I overheard that statement for a reason. It mirrored to me one of those always beliefs I have been carrying. That resonates on a soul deep level of feeling like I’m doing it alone and I don’t have a way out. Like I don’t have the answers, the power, and ability to change my world.

The beautiful thing about being in this position now of my healing journey is I have the tools and wisdom to do the work and rewrite my stories.

Be careful of the always statements. Always, will always bring, what you always believed about yourself and the world around you. It’s a cycle that needs to be rewritten. Mindset matters.

What are your Always stories that need to be rewritten?
