Are you responding to life as it is—or as you think it is based on your current mindset?

Are you taking the time to pause and reflect on the way you are reacting to life's ups and downs? (Even in the heat of the moment.)
It's important to consider if your responses are truly aligned with the reality of the situation or if they are being influenced by your current state of mind.(how much sleep you got the nights before, if you're hangry, if you have a headache, if you're grieving, if you're in pain, if you're upset about something)
By being mindful of your mindset and what if any power you have to nudge it in any direction it will impact your reactions, you can work towards approaching life with a clearer perspective and more balanced responses.
Are you awake to life, or are you coasting on autopilot?
How much of the days and weeks in the recent past do you recall?
Are you growing, learning, evolving, discovering, making memories and laughing regularly and intentionally?
Remember, your mindset can shape the way you perceive and interact with the world around you, so it's worth taking the time to understand how it works!
