What even IS a positive mindset?

First off, let’s break down what a positive mindset truly is! Positivity is defined as the practice of being or tendency to be positive or optimistic in attitude. It’s only natural to feel down or discouraged every now and then but a positive mindset helps you overcome any feeling of disappointment or defeat!

It’s said that positive thinking helps you cope with stress in a healthy, productive way! And if there’s one thing I am sure you’ve learned about the lash life is that it comes with its fair share of stress. So how can you shift your mindset towards positivity, even during those times where negative thoughts seem inevitable?

Our top tips.

Keep an open mind.

As convinced as you might be that the worst is yet to come, statistically the best could (and often will) be yet to come! It’s all about shifting your default to negative thinking towards optimism and opportunity.

Surround yourself with positivity.

This can be especially true of our friends, family, and even the clients we serve! Having happy, fulfilled people around you can be a major influence towards a brighter disposition. When you surround yourself with a tribe that favors positivity over negativity, it tends to rub off… and for the better!

Let yourself indulge in humor.

When your world feels like a flaming, dumpster fire… sometimes all you can do is LAUGH! Laugh at the irony, irregularity, or just your plain luck. A sprinkle of humor can not only keep a smile on your face, it can help you through a rough patch towards your brighter tomorrow. 

Prioritize your health.

Mindset can be so deeply impacted by your emotional and physical health.  Your ability to feel empowered and confident starts with prioritizing self care.  From exercise to balanced nutrition being kind to yourself works wonders on your ability to stay positive!

Be kind to yourself.

Have you ever thought about talking to yourself the way you talk to other people? Giving yourself the praise, encouragement, and kind words that you are so quick to give everyone around you is one way to make break your habit of negative self talk.  Don’t leave it up to other people to build you up, start with the person you see in the mirror! Be kind and give yourself the words of affirmation and encouragement you deserve. 

Even if you’ve just picked up your lash tweezers for the first time or if you’re trying to scale a million dollar lash brand you probably feel like you have a countless challenges coming your way. But truly believing in yourself, your ability to navigate the unknown, and just how talented you are can be your saving grace throughout your journey. Acknowledging that yes, the lash life (and just plain life) is not easy, but with persistence and positivity ALL things are possible!
