Scripture

Psalm 84:4-6 (NKJV)

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, They make it a spring; The rain also covers it with pools.

Learn How to Shift Your Mindset and See Positives in Problems Through Daily Reframing Exercises

Summary

In this episode, we discuss how our perspective and mindset allow us to transform difficult situations into opportunities and blessings.

We share how we can train ourselves to shift perspectives by exercising our “perspective muscle” through small daily practices. Asking empowering questions like “What’s good about this?” helps reframe challenges and build positivity over time. Additional tactics include imagining worst case scenarios, then considering how they could actually be positive.

While some circumstances are truly terrible, we have more power than we may realize to improve our experience by changing our mindset. When we follow God’s principles and success laws, we gain the ability to turn valleys into springs.

Top 3 Growth Tips

  • Align with God's principles. When we understand and follow God's natural laws and principles for achievement, we find more success and fulfillment.
  • Improve tough circumstances by shifting your perspective. Even in difficult situations, you have the power to change your viewpoint and transform the experience. Your perspective and feelings about any circumstance are within your control.
  • Reframing situations builds your positivity muscle over time. Asking empowering questions like "What's good about this?" helps reframe challenges to build your perspective muscle gradually. Envisioning worst case scenarios, then how they could be positive is another reframing tactic.
