What if
How do I change my mindset?
Honor and celebrate yourself
It is in our DNA
Life offers opportunities
Remember a time when there was an opportunity offered to you and your immediate response was doubt? You were too afraid to take a chance, to make the change, to commit to something different. Use these recollections as the framework to learn more about yourself, and your thinking,
The door of opportunity opens, and you say . . .
No, I don’t think that is possible
No, I can’t do that
No, it’s going to be too hard
No, I can’t afford it
No, it’s not going to work out
Learn from your previous thinking and next time have 2 magic words ready when those patterns of thought sneak in.
“What-if”
What if it is possible?
What if you could?
What if it were easy?
What if there was a way of affording it?
What if it all worked out?
Once the what-if thought makes an imprint, stay with it, entertain it, have it be an ongoing mantra about the situation. The possibility of what-if allows the flow of energy to bring you new ideas on how to make it happen.
Staying open
If there is a way of making it happen you are open to finding it. I admit it is not easy or simple. It takes rigor because up until now you have been acting differently. The more you stay open to what-if, the newer tracks of thinking you are laying.
It changes your attitude about the situation; instead of thinking “I can’t, your new thought is” I can”. As Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right,” which emphasizes that your attitude determines your success or failure.
Personal Experience
The timing of your What Ifs matters
Contemplating what-if before your decision helps to shift your thinking to live a more expansive, fuller life. Up until now, you may have been asking ‘what if’ after regretting not having acted to invitations to experience life fuller.
Move your What If contemplation in front of decision-making, instead of in the back of it.
INVITATION TO LIFEWORK
Experiment and bring more “what-if” situations into your life. Instead of shutting the door on the possibility, think “what if” it can be possible. That simple mental move shifts your attitude to focus on possible ways of making things happen, instead of automatically thinking negatively. What you focus on expands, so as you entertain the possibility, you move closer to probability.
