What's goodie, hoodie? This week I based my project completely off of mindset. One mindset that I tried was that I needed to be happy always and that I should always try to be this perfect person. The thing about this was it seemed to backfire. Whenever this didn't work, it truly didn't work, like I would get really mad or sad and I'd just have a terrible mindset. While setting goals, if I didn't achieve them I would get mad at myself and it would set me off for the next day and I would just keep a domino effect. The mindset that worked best for me is a mindset that honestly sorta suprised me. Whenever something happened, I would just say it's whatever. I realized that it's done, it's over with and that it is what it is, I have no control over the actions of the past so I just took that mindset and it really went well. I wasn't ever stressed. As for goals I went with not setting any. When playing ball I just went to the game and I would tell myself "I'm gonna play my ball." That's it, not I'm going to get 15 points tonight, just that I don't want to play anyone else's style but mine. This all kept me in a form that really seemed to be pure within myself and honestly, I loved it. I told some people about it and they were against it but quite frankly, I didn't really care because it was helping me, sometimes you need to be a little selfish when it comes to your mental health. Next week I will be looking at how time management may effect your mood and mindset.
