Positive mindset is an essential skill to have-not only for its performance enhancing capabilities, but for a number of other beneficial social and health reasons.

Positive mindset is not merely thinking of Sunshine and rainbows, but more accurately positioning ones mind to see the best alternate routes in dire situations and times of need.

This improves performance because it places the individuals mentality into a problem solving state of mind as opposed to a fear induced state of worry.

This in turn:

Reduces anxiety
Helps effectively problem solve
Promotes Happiness and Good Health
Absolves issues easily
Decreases Cortisol/stress
When you start thinking of Solutions as opposed to Problems-your mind starts LOOKING for solutions-it does not have time for fear, worry, or anxiety-it is busy with the task at hand, and gets in motion to solving it.

When you constantly fill your mind with WORRY, stress, anxiety-All it continues to think about is the worry, stress, and Anxiety. It will never find a solution, but only put itself further into a diluted vortex of hopelessness.

Example: I am 24 years old, and I don’t have a drivers license. I tried and failed FOUR times and got in a CAR ACCIDENT the last time I tried!

Now I feel like this can honestly been deemed as a pretty dire situation. I seem hopeless at driving-when in reality, I just get really nervous.

I was mad. I was frustrated. I rode my bicycle all the time and one day just shouted “Maybe I’m not meant to ride a car. Maybe I’m meant to ride this stupid bike forever!!”

And then the lightbulbs clicked

“Maybe I’m meant to ride a bike”

Within a month I had my motorcycle license.

It was amazing. And then fear set in. A whole year without riding from crippling fear. Then, decidedly, with no practice, I hitchhiked, then rode a motorcycle half way across the country. You can see that journey Here: Welcome to My Channel!

So without further Adieu:

Make positive thinking a Habit, and any problem you have merely turns in to “If theres a will, theres a way”
