0:36

0:38

to be relaunching , super excited

0:41

0:43

the first time , thank you so much for

0:45

0:48

and you've been rocking with me since

0:50

the beginning or maybe in

0:52

the middle , thank you for tuning in again . I

0:55

really appreciate it and I'm super excited

0:57

for today . Without giving too much

0:59

of a purpose to what

1:01

I'm talking about , I just wanted to say

1:03

I'm super excited to be back . I'm super excited

1:06

for the new year . We are in 2024

1:08

. It's crazy that we've been on this podcast for

1:10

a few years now and that's crazy to even

1:12

say I feel like I just started like last

1:14

year . But it's

1:17

just really cool to be back . I'm really excited

1:19

to dive into today's episode . I'm not going to

1:21

give too much of a well , have you been

1:23

kind of vibe ? You all know I'm back

1:25

and that's all that matters . I'm here to stay

1:27

. I am really planning

1:29

on some major things for Living in Purpose on

1:31

Purpose podcast this year . So

1:34

just stay for the ride , stay for the journey , and

1:36

I hope that we are able to just

1:38

grow and push together as I help

1:40

you , help me , help myself , and

1:42

we're just going to live in our purpose . On purpose

1:45

, I will say that this

1:47

year has been very enlightening for me

1:50

and I hate the whole new year new me vibe . So

1:52

I don't want to say the cliche

1:54

, but I really just feel like I've

1:57

just adapted a new whole mentality

1:59

, or new another whole mindset

2:01

. Hence why I wanted to call

2:03

this episode mindset makeover

2:05

, and that's cultivating a positive mentality

2:08

. I feel like everything starts with

2:10

your mind . Everything starts in the mind

2:12

, whether it's your faith , whether it's

2:14

your work ethic , whether it's your discipline or your

2:16

consistency . All of those things start to your

2:18

mind . You have

2:21

to make it up in your mind first

2:23

that you want to be dedicated to something

2:25

before you are actually matching your

2:27

actions to be dedicated

2:29

. If you want to say you want to

2:32

go and work a certain

2:34

type of job or work a certain type of business

2:36

, you have to make up your mind first . So

2:38

that's something that you want to consistently do

2:40

before you actually even do it

2:42

. That's why you have to make sure that you

2:45

are having or you're operating

2:47

in a positive mentality is super

2:49

important , and I discovered that this year

2:51

and I couldn't wait to share it with you guys . I was

2:53

like I can't wait to start my podcast back because

2:56

I got some gems for my people . I got some

2:58

gems for them . So I'm super excited

3:00

to talk about today , I'm super excited to just

3:02

dive into what it really means to make

3:04

over your mindset or just to

3:07

have that mindset makeover and constantly

3:09

cultivating in a positive mentality

3:11

to kind of really bridge yourself

3:14

a positive life . We all know

3:16

that you can tell , you

3:18

know how a tree is , or who a tree

3:20

is which is like a person by

3:23

the fruit that they bear . And I don't

3:25

know about y'all , but I want my fruit

3:27

to be healthy and strong and

3:29

vibrant and consistent . I

3:31

want people to look at what I do and that would

3:33

I produce out , the content that I give

3:35

to people , and I want them to really

3:37

be inspired , really be pushed

3:40

or motivated by what I'm saying . But

3:43

the only way that I can do that is to

3:45

have a mindset makeover and which

3:47

is why this year I said

3:49

I want to make over my mind , I want to cultivate

3:52

a more positive mentality that

3:54

pushes me to do great things , to

3:56

push me to be great , to push me to do things

3:58

that I didn't think I can do before , to

4:01

lean on God and to really acknowledge

4:03

that , okay , this is the lifestyle that I want

4:05

. This is the lifestyle that I want to live , so

4:07

my actions have to match up to

4:09

it . But the only way that my actions

4:12

can match up to it is if I

4:14

give myself a mindset makeover , because

4:17

your girl Was

4:19

stressing and I'm not saying I don't stress anymore

4:22

. I'm not saying that , but I'm saying I don't

4:24

let it consume me anymore , being

4:26

over , being that . I made over my mindset

4:28

and I'm constantly . I feel like it's not even

4:31

like a one-time thing . Sometimes you have to Make

4:33

over your mind multiple times , as many

4:36

times as you need . Please do so . Just don't

4:38

quit . As

4:40

I was sitting and I'm okay , cool , I'm just gonna

4:42

shift my mindset , and it was actually a little bit before

4:44

the new year and I was like , okay , I

4:47

really want it to be

4:49

like this in my life . I really want to

4:52

make myself believe

4:54

, or Actually show myself

4:56

, that this is the life that you desire and this is

4:59

the life that you're going to get , but

5:01

it first comes with you making over your mind

5:03

. So that's what I had to do and I started

5:05

doing that and I was just

5:07

sitting there like I want to share this with the people , obviously

5:09

, like I told y'all , and I started just jotting

5:11

things randomly down , researching some

5:14

things about what it really means to Give

5:17

yourself a mindset makeover . So

5:19

the whole time like , or this whole episode , I'm

5:21

just gonna basically talk about a few things , that's

5:23

like key points in my life

5:26

that I realized helped me Really

5:29

give myself a mindset makeover , in

5:31

helping me cultivate a more positive life or a

5:33

positive mentality . That

5:35

I look and I'm like , okay , yeah , this may be

5:37

lemons , but we make a lemonade today , we might

5:39

even make some Kool-Aid , like we're

5:41

gonna do whatever we need to do to shift

5:44

this from negative to positive

5:46

and to breed a new mentality

5:48

Through our minds to give ourselves the

5:50

life or the lifestyle that we desire to have

5:53

. Now , the first thing I had to do and

5:55

if you're taking notes , this is number

5:58

one , the first key point you

6:00

have to acknowledge your current mindset . You

6:02

have to figure out what . How are you currently thinking

6:04

? You have to take like you just have to

6:06

really take an analyze . Okay

6:09

, what are my thoughts like right now ? How

6:11

am I acting , what are my thought patterns , what

6:14

are my beliefs like ? You have to really break

6:16

it down and sometimes it's hard because we as

6:18

humans , and especially in today's society , we

6:21

like a lot of accountability . I

6:23

mean a lot of accountability and

6:26

it's hard for us to look at ourselves and pull

6:28

out the things that are not so good when it comes

6:30

down to our mentality

6:33

or our thought processes or even the way we

6:35

act or do . Things is Very

6:37

hard to do that now . We can easily critique

6:39

or critique ourselves , like how we

6:41

look or something like that , something that's visual

6:43

or like topical , like it's things that you

6:45

can easily just pull off , but

6:47

the things that require us to deep dive into really

6:50

Assess , we really

6:52

have a hard time doing that today's generation

6:54

or today's society . So you really have

6:56

to take stock of those current thought patterns

6:58

and beliefs and how are you operating

7:01

right now ? And you have to be able to

7:03

identify any like self-limiting

7:05

beliefs that you may have that's literally holding you back

7:07

from full but your full potential

7:09

, because a lot of times we have beliefs

7:11

that's literally capping us

7:13

at a certain place and it's like no

7:16

, you're actually supposed to go here , but you're all

7:18

the way down here because you only

7:20

believe that you're able to achieve this

7:23

amount of success , or you

7:25

only , you only think that you can only achieve

7:27

this amount of success

7:29

through your job or your content

7:32

or your business . Like we're

7:34

limiting ourselves by

7:37

having self-limiting beliefs . So we

7:39

have to make sure we take a set and we take

7:41

and assess those things . Okay , cool , how

7:44

am I acting ? How do I think ? What do I believe

7:46

? What do I even freaking believe ? A lot of times

7:48

, we don't think about these things . We just go on our day-to-day

7:50

life and journey and don't

7:53

think about these things at all . Like

7:55

, we don't think about it , not even a little bit . And

7:58

that's why we have to have a makeover for our

8:00

mindset , because we have to shift

8:02

and cultivate a positive mentality To

8:04

breed a positive life

8:07

. Now , with that being said , we're talking

8:09

about recognizing your current mindset , but

8:12

after you do that , you have to set clear intentions

8:14

, moving forward . Okay , this , this is

8:16

how my mindset was before . This

8:19

is my current mindset . I want to

8:21

set clear intentions for moving forward

8:23

, how I want to shift my mindset to

8:25

cultivate a positive mentality

8:27

, how I want to make over my mindset

8:29

. So you have to have the really

8:33

Define specific

8:35

and positive goals that really

8:37

align with your new values , your new aspirations

8:40

, your new goals . You

8:42

have to Define

8:44

those things because if you don't , your

8:46

life is going to define you . You

8:48

have to define those things in your life because

8:50

you're almost speaking it . We

8:53

talk about affirmations and things like that

8:55

, which I clearly get I'm

8:57

a little bit On

8:59

edge about manifestation only because

9:02

you know whatever God's will for your life is , that's what's

9:04

gonna happen . I don't know

9:06

if you can alter that for a sake

9:08

, but I do believe in affirmations

9:11

. I do believe in speaking things that are

9:13

not as though they were . That comes from the Bible

9:15

, which I believe , and with

9:17

that I choose to

9:19

now define Specific and positive

9:22

goals that align with where I'm trying to go

9:24

, the values that I'm trying to adopt , the aspirations

9:26

that I'm trying to reach , or the the things

9:29

that I'm trying to achieve , the goals that I'm trying

9:31

to push through and

9:33

Actually obtain in my life , because

9:36

that will help me visualize the outcomes that I

9:38

desire and create like a literal roadmap

9:40

. Now don't mistake a

9:42

roadmap of the

9:45

things you want to achieve for a timeline

9:48

. I despise timelines

9:50

. That goes against everything that we know of

9:52

basically God

9:55

having a plan for our lives and knowing the plans

9:57

that he has for us to prosper us . We are

10:00

literally trying to

10:02

create our own plan for

10:06

our life and we know we're not our

10:08

own . So I don't believe

10:10

that a timeline is the same as a roadmap . A

10:12

roadmap is when you can have

10:14

all these different things , but you still have a

10:17

journey to get there . A timeline

10:19

is I need to be here

10:21

by this time , there by this time , this

10:23

by this time , that by that time . A

10:26

roadmap is like a general idea of goals

10:28

and dreams that you have and , of course

10:30

, in your own . I

10:32

guess you can call it like Not

10:34

even prayer , but just like

10:37

your whole Intention center

10:39

, your goal setting . You're able to say , okay , cool

10:41

, like I need things that are

10:43

going to align with who I'm trying to be

10:45

, not who I was . And sometimes , and

10:47

Sometimes

10:49

, when it comes to Trying to

10:51

visualize the new person or visualize

10:53

the new mindset that you're trying to have or what you're

10:56

trying to be , you have To

10:58

be able to embrace the growth mindset . So

11:00

I guess you can say that's like the third point

11:02

I guess you have to be able to embrace

11:05

growth . Embrace that you're going to be a new

11:07

person . Embrace that you want to create a new

11:09

lifestyle . Embrace that you

11:11

want to have a new mindset , that you want to be positive

11:14

, that you want to have a greater outlook

11:16

on life and live in your purpose on

11:18

Purpose . You don't want to

11:20

just go day to day like you used to do , wasting

11:22

time , wasting money , wasting resources

11:24

, wasting connections , wasting

11:26

anything . You don't want to be wasteful . You

11:29

want to have a positive mentality and be able to look

11:31

and embrace the growth that's going to happen in your

11:33

life . Now , in order to adopt a growth

11:35

mindset , you have to be able to view your

11:37

challenges as opportunities for learning and

11:39

growing . That's something that

11:42

I'm learning . When things are difficult

11:44

, when things don't work out , it's really hard for

11:46

me , but you know what it's

11:48

okay . It's hard to do that , especially

11:51

in those moments where you feel like you're trying all that you

11:53

can try . You're doing all that you can do

11:55

and things are just very Hard

11:57

. It's very challenging , it's very Disturbing

12:00

to you . You're like what the heck I'm doing all the

12:02

right things ? I'm trying to be

12:04

on this journey and this is the time where

12:06

the challenges are even greater than before and you're

12:08

like this is crazy , like

12:10

I'm trying to do all the things . So , with

12:13

embracing that growth mindset , you have

12:15

to be able to look at those challenges and

12:17

say , hey , these are just stepping stones

12:19

, these are just opportunities for me to

12:21

learn , for me to grow even more , for

12:24

the next thing if something else happens

12:26

, if this happens again , I'll be set for the next time

12:28

because I understand and I have grown

12:30

to know that this is just a challenge

12:32

that's coming as an opportunity . Now

12:35

I will say that's

12:37

easier said than done . I'm not even about to

12:39

lie . It's easy to say it's okay

12:41

, everything's gonna be okay , like

12:44

this girl , this is just an opportunity for you

12:46

to grow . Now . That's very difficult

12:48

to just blur it out in a moment

12:50

where you feel like everything is messing

12:53

up or everything is all

12:55

hell . Honestly , it's

12:58

hard to do that in that moment . But it's

13:00

something that when you're having a mindset

13:03

makeover , you are pushing yourself

13:05

every day , or pushing yourself when

13:07

these things happen , to See

13:09

those things as opportunities . We're

13:12

just gonna practice that . You don't have to be perfect immediately

13:14

. If you get upset about something , if

13:16

something happens and you don't have that quote-unquote

13:19

positive mentality . It's okay

13:21

. This is a whole journey . Sometimes

13:23

you have to start over . Sometimes in a day I

13:25

start over like three or four times . Today

13:28

when I'm recording , I've started over

13:30

a million times today . There's so many times today

13:32

that I wanted to give up a lot of times . I didn't

13:34

even want to record this episode anymore . I didn't

13:36

even want to do the relaunch anymore . I just

13:38

so many things that just kept popping up

13:40

that I'm like I don't want to do this . I

13:43

don't desire to do this . Along

13:46

with having that growth mindset and embracing

13:48

it , you also have to refrain from negative

13:50

thoughts . That goes hand in hand . So that's like

13:52

three and four , but

13:54

Loki , like a big three , like

13:57

you just have to refrain from speaking

13:59

negative over yourself . I believe words have

14:01

power . So the more that you speak the

14:03

negative thoughts out really

14:05

, or even in your mind , the more I feel

14:07

like they would come into fruition . So you have

14:10

to challenge those thoughts and question the validity

14:12

. Okay , okay , yeah , I don't feel like this , but

14:15

do I really feel like that or is it just because in this

14:17

moment this happened ? That's what

14:19

you have to do start challenging those thoughts like

14:21

okay , I understand you're feeling like this

14:23

, bro . But at the same time , why

14:26

are we feeling like that when we have so many things to be grateful

14:28

for ? Why are we feeling like this when we have so many

14:30

things that aren't going right in our lives

14:32

? Is just in this moment . These things

14:35

or this thing may not be

14:37

the last point I want to talk about is

14:39

two things actually , in that

14:41

that thing

14:43

or those things are to surround yourself

14:46

with positivity

14:49

and positive people , but

14:51

also practice gratitude for those things

14:53

or your life . I Feel

14:58

like who you are around Majority of the

15:00

time , who you hang out with , and things like that . Either one

15:02

or two things are happening . Either

15:04

they're rubbing off on you or you're rubbing off on them , and

15:07

I know there's gonna be those people that come for me and say , oh , I'm

15:10

my own person and just because

15:12

I hang out with people that do x , y and z don't

15:14

mean I do x , y and z , or just because they think

15:16

like x , y and z don't mean I know why would you

15:18

want to be around anybody ? That's not a reflection of

15:20

where you're trying to go or where you're currently at

15:23

. As far as the positive aspect , I'm

15:25

not saying that people don't make mistakes . I'm not saying

15:27

that people are perfect , but I'm just

15:29

saying people that's in your circle or people

15:32

that are connected to you should have

15:34

a light to show positivity

15:36

, to spread positivity to you , because

15:38

you're going to need somebody to lean on in those moments

15:40

where it's not that easy to Practice

15:43

gratitude or it's not that easy to

15:45

shut down those negative thoughts . It's

15:47

not that easy for you to push past the things that

15:49

are happening , to Actually

15:52

produce something , to actually be consistent , to

15:54

be dedicated in vice versa , so

15:57

you can provide that for other people and that's why

15:59

we are working on our mindset makeover

16:01

, not only for ourselves we're not just

16:03

doing this for ourselves but also the people

16:05

that were connected to that . We can

16:07

assist and we can help them Shift

16:10

their mindset , shift that

16:12

way they're thinking , shift the way they're acting , shift

16:15

the way they're viewing their life , the outlook on life

16:18

, and cultivate a positive mentality . Those

16:20

are just the last . That's just the last two things

16:22

. That's , that's all I wanted to tell you guys today . It's

16:25

not a super long episode , listen . This is just

16:27

a relaunch . I just wanted to give you guys

16:29

a little bit of what I've been

16:31

thinking about literally these last maybe

16:33

three months . I

16:36

knew I needed a mindset shift . I needed a

16:38

mindset makeover . I needed to

16:40

change my way of thinking , change my way of believing

16:43

and understand that my

16:45

life is a reflection of my

16:47

mind . If I'm

16:50

constantly thinking negative thoughts

16:52

and not believing that anything good has

16:54

been come out of it , feeling like all my challenges

16:57

are just the end of the road and not new opportunities

16:59

, there's nothing , honestly , there's

17:01

not much that we could possibly produce

17:03

and cultivate in our lives . So

17:06

, with that being said , I wanted to change
