The "Must be Nice" Mentality

On this episode of The Mindset Maniac, host Leslie Crevar

 

Episode Highlights:

• Leslie introduces the topic of the episode as the “must be nice” mentality.
• She says that when she was younger, she didn’t understand how other people could be happy or positive all the time-- it certainly didn't feel natural to her anymore.
• Leslie recalls a time, back when she was still dating her husband. He was doing clinical nursing internship at the hospital, going to his bartending job at night, getting home late, and getting up very early the next morning to do it all over again.
• Leslie says that his outlook and attitude during that time represented the mindset that she wanted to have.
• To accomplish this, she started journaling and using affirmations to help herself achieve her desired mindset.
• She found that over time when she was doing her journal reflections, she noticed that she was trending more toward a positive mindset and moving away from being judgmental or angry.
• During this time, she noticed changes in her relationships.
• Over the course of 5 years, she began to notice that her mindset was causing little positive changes.
• Her advice to listeners is to identify the qualities you see in others that you want to possess, and find one thing that you must stop doing and one thing you must start doing in order to achieve that.
