LadiesCorner Workshops | Lindsey Machona Maenzanise | Mindset Reset: How to Overcome Negative Thinking Patterns
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.
There are many reasons to be negative. This is a learned behaviour. One of the greatest quotes from Buddhism on life is about suffering. Life generally becomes easier when we understand that much of life is suffering. No one likes to suffer. We suffer through sickness, disease, loss, pain and negative mindsets. To deal with life’s suffering, we complain through it. We reflect on the past thinking it was better than our present and we dream about tomorrow which we are not promised. Many of us rarely live in the present. A lot of our suffering, pain and unrest stems from our minds.
Some people enjoy complaining. We complain about the weather being too hot or too cold. Those with children might even blame their children and their spouses on their situation. Or it could be the manager at work or your colleagues. The point is negative thoughts stem from many things, we are all plagued with it. Some, a little more than others.
Recently, the writer saw a video of the award-winning cookbook author Chrissy Teigen. Her husband, John Legend in an emotional tribute said of his wife, whilst receiving an award from Glamour Magazine that his wife did not think she was worthy to be in the gathering of such people like Michelle Obama and Oprah. The point here is even supermodels and celebrities battles with issues of self-worth and self-esteem.
All hope is not lost. The Chinese proverb instructs the longest journey starts with a single step. There is a path out of negativity. There is a path out of being trapped in your mind by negative thoughts, patterns and mindsets. Keep on reading.
Who is Lindsey Machona Macmaen?
From her website, Lindsey describes herself as: “I’m a Mindset and Confidence Coach who helps ambitious professional women become powerful and recognized leaders in their field by overcoming the self-doubt, limiting beliefs and mindset blocks that is holding them back and keeping them stuck at the same level for years. I work with them to create massive success in their life, career and business on their own terms.
A few years ago, I struggled with asserting myself because I didn’t have the confidence to speak up and share my ideas. I didn’t feel good enough and worthy of my dreams. My self-doubt held me back from fully aligning myself with my purpose and sharing my gifts with the world. I was constantly frustrated because I wasn’t getting close to who I wanted to be. I knew that if I was going to break out of this cycle of failure, I had to change my identity.”
In other words, she is a miracle worker. In this well detailed and informative powerpoint, Lindsey talks about identifying the 10 main mindsets that hinder us from moving on to our next level.
