Do You Have a Cosmic Mindset? You really should! Here’s why.

“Life is from the inside out. When you shift on the inside, life shifts on the outside.”— Kamal Ravikant

I absolutely love this quote. It is undoubtable that our mind plays the most important function in our bodies. It is the driver of our lives! Whatever consumes our mind is our life, directly determining our confidence, productivity, happiness, and even if we have a good or bad day. For example, if you fill your mind with negativity by telling yourself everyday that life is hard and terrible, then your mind will subconsciously look for things that are terrible, literally making your life more terrible. If, however, everyday you fill your mind with positivity and abundance by telling yourself that your life is easy and beautiful, then your mind will pay more attention to things that are beautiful, literally attracting a more beautiful life to you! 

I was always someone stuck in my head and overthinking every action I did, and it was really starting to affect my daily life in negative ways. When I realized that my mindset was the root of these conflicts and overall happiness, I shifted my mindset to what I like to call the Cosmic Mindset, and it was life changing in all the best ways. I want to share with you some of the ways that I changed my mindset that helped me stop overthinking, feel more confident, and overall made me feel more happy, in hopes of helping you, too. 🙂

What is the Cosmic Mind?

The Cosmic Mind is a phrase I like to use to refer to a powerful mindset where the opportunities are infinite, like space (hence ‘cosmic’… get it?). I’ve always been a deep thinker, and I’ve realized that our mindset has so much power over us, without us even realizing it. Here are 5 aspects of the Cosmic Mindset that I believe everyone should adopt! I promise it will make a huge impact on your everyday life because, like the opening quote said, once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change too. 

5 Aspects that Make up the Cosmic Mindset

1. Recognize that Happiness and Fulfillment Comes from Within

I know I’m not the first one to say that happiness comes from within… but it’s so true! There’s people who have billions of dollars and access to all sorts of designer fashion, cars, plane tickets etc, and they still lack happiness and feel unfulfilled.  True happiness can only be achieved by you. You can’t rely on others or things or money to bring you happiness, because at the end of the day you never know if those things are permanent. The only thing you know you will have forever is yourself. Once you recognize you are responsible for your own happiness, you can learn how to provide yourself with that happiness. Anyone can! 

2. Embrace an Abundance Way of Thinking 

Have you ever had to make a big decision, and you kept asking yourself or other people “what if it goes wrong?” or “what if I’m not good enough?”… Sound familiar? That’s a scarcity mindset, your mind’s way of protecting yourself from potential failure by not even giving yourself a chance to succeed. Instead of fearing the unknown and living in the what if’s, embrace an abundance mindset by convincing yourself that you know it will undoubtedly go right, almost as if you can see your future self succeeding and thriving. All you have to do is let it happen… let yourself succeed! This will create a more positive mental state in which the possibilities are infinite. When you learn how to use an abundance mindset, you have the power to open up new doors of possibilities in life. 

3. Break Your Ego

Have you ever made a decision that you were unhappy with? It might be because you listened to your ego (the people-pleasing, status quo-following part of you) instead of what your intuition told you. It is so important to be unapologetically yourself instead of changing who you are to please other people. Besides, it’s impossible to please everyone all the time, so might as well just do what you want and what makes you happy. Life is too short to let your potential remain trapped behind other people’s opinions! Remember your motivations and dreams, and accomplish them for your future self, not anyone else.

4. Don’t Take Things Personally

This one is so important. More often than not, we question our own self worth when someone else is in a bad mood, being rude, or acting differently. When we take things personally we are giving other individuals power over us instead of relying on yourself to know who you are. So don’t let other people’s judgments ruin your confidence or mood because that is only a reflection of them and their struggles, not you! 

5. Challenge Your Thoughts

In order to do everything above, you have to challenge your thoughts. When negative old thinking patterns come up, don’t just ignore them, but challenge them, and shift your beliefs. Choose to be calm instead of overthink. Compare your thoughts with actual evidence and see what actually adds up. Realize that no one thinks about you as much as you do. You will notice your mindset begin to evolve by challenging your thoughts!  I know I did. 😉
