Moving from a negative mindset to a positive (efficiently) takes these steps:

Meditate for at least 5 minutes a day, as often as possible

• When you meditate, focus on your breathe and not on your thoughts

• Whenever your focus moves from your breathe to other thoughts, notice the new thoughts, and then move back to your breathe as your focus

• After this mental training (of noticing your mind change focus), whenever you feel negative thoughts coming in or being said, notice those thoughts and then change them to positive thoughts.

• Rinse and repeat until your thoughts are consistently positive.

• As you can see, it isn’t very hard to move from a negative mindset to a positive one, but it will take some effort (very worth it) and it will take some time (common, you can take away some TV time, just 5 minutes!).

• Remember, this is your first step into true confidence, so make sure you really have changed to a positive mindset – once your inner voice is your best friend, you can move on.
