Hello May: Happy New Month
By Profit Acumen in Blog
When things don’t go our way, it’s easy to slip into unhelpful thoughts.
We drift into spaces and ideas we have no control over.
We start ruminating on what isn’t working in our favour and worrying about what could go wrong next.
Our judgment gets cloudy and we lose sight of our role in shaping our reality.
This is something many of us are facing today.
During this global pandemic, everyone is having both good and bad days.
On good days we stay positive and productive. On bad days we fall into imagining a future that scares us, and we start living in that fear.
This happens because thoughts create emotions.
Whenever I feel myself shifting from a positive mindset to a negative one, I try to bring my attention back to what matters.
I ask myself:
1. What is worrying me?
2. What is within my control?
3. What matters most to me and what can I do about it?
Then I reflect on the Serenity Prayer: “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.”
When we focus on what we can control, our thoughts empower us and lift our emotions.
To improve your money dynamics during this time, it’s important to shift your focus toward things you can influence.
