Do you know that you have the power to take control of your own mindset?
​
When you control your thoughts you control your perspectives, when you control your perspectives, you control your emotions and consequently your mindset. Once you reach the stage of being in control of your mindset,
you become the master of your own mind and can take real control of your life. 

Have you ever felt trapped in a loop of feeling anxious, sad, stressed, angry, jealous, scared or lonely? Our mind and body will work against us sometimes. Knowing when to listen and when we need to do the opposite of what our brain and our emotions seem to be telling us to do is a vital skill and step to getting us out of the ruminating rabbit hole overthinking can take us down and back in control of our own mindset.
​
When you validate a thought, you will make a choice and take an action, this includes the choice to take no action. When you take an action repetitively you create a habit and habits create beliefs we hold about ourselves. When you create habits you create a character which is reflective of those habits. Your character is what you bring to the world, it's how you show up every day to your own life, your character will dictate your overall experience of life. Simply put, if you learn to think better, you will create better habits and take better actions in life which help you feel more confident, driven and enthusiastic. Everything begins within mindset and mindset begins with our thoughts.

The first step to taking control of thoughts and mindset is creating awareness around what is happening in our lives which we are often not consciously focused on. Some common examples of this include realising when something is bad but not affecting you consciously enough to change it, being trapped in a completely undesirable situation because the alternatives seem so hard to accept, tolerating all the wrong things in your life, workplace, relationships, health, finances and time because your brain no longer highlights to you just how negative they have become. Coaching sessions help you shine a light into your blind spots and help you see your life clearly again so you can make the right changes and take real control over your mindset and your future life.

It's not simply talking about our problems that helps, in fact talking in the wrong way to the wrong people will often make us feel worse. It's the right kind of conversation with the right professional that brings the change we need. Questions can either stress us out and send us down a path to nowhere or they can highlight the neglected areas of our subconscious which helps us to understand more about ourselves and take the necessary steps to make the changes we want to see in our lives. We just need someone to be asking the right questions in the most efficient way at the most significant times for us. This is Coaching in its purest and most valuable form.

What we notice in life is largely controlled by a part of our brain called the Reticular Activating System or RAS. Think of it as a filter in our mind. Your RAS will filter OUT and miss everything that isn't seen as important by your brain. This is how a person can simply stay the same oblivious to so much potential growth and change in their mindset and life. All the success in life you could be enjoying is likely getting dismissed by your brain without you even realising.
