Unlock your potential in the final three months of the year
As we approach the final three months of the year, it’s a perfect time to reflect, set new goals, and prepare ourselves for the upcoming holiday season.
Having a positive mindset is important for our mental health, but it can be difficult to stay positive in the face of life’s challenges, so let’s look at some practical tips and strategies to help you maintain a positive outlook on life.
The first step to cultivating a positive mindset is to become more self-aware.
That means taking the time to really think about how your thoughts are impacting your emotions and behavior.
If you notice that you’re having negative or unhelpful thoughts, take a moment to pause and reframe the thought in a more positive light.
For example, instead of thinking “I can’t do this,” try reframing it as “I need help with this, but I know I can figure it out if I ask for assistance.”
Setting goals is one of the best ways to remain motivated and keep your mind on track.
It doesn’t have to be some grandiose goal either; start small and simple by setting daily goals such as reading a chapter of your favorite book, going for a walk outside, or even just taking some time for yourself each day.
Setting achievable goals helps give you something concrete to work towards and gives you something else besides negative thoughts to focus on when things seem overwhelming.
Gratitude has been proven to increase feelings of wellbeing and positivity.
Make an effort each day to reflect on the things that bring joy into your life such as family members, hobbies, and special moments – no matter how small they may be.
Research shows that gratitude not only boosts happiness but also can reduce stress levels so make sure it’s part of your daily routine.
All three of these strategies are engrained in the DNA of your Story of My Life Journal – and for good reason.
Maintaining a positive mindset isn’t always easy but with these tips – becoming more self-aware of your thoughts and emotions, setting achievable goals for yourself, and practicing gratitude – you will be well on your way towards cultivating an optimistic outlook on life.
A positive mindset can help us enjoy life more fully and ultimately lead us down paths of success and happiness.
Remember – no one has ever achieved their dreams without believing in themselves first, so start today by believing in yourself – because if you don’t believe in yourself no one else will.

We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and we thank and pay respect to Aboriginal Elders – past, present, and emerging – for their continuous love and custodianship of the land and waterways we now get to experience and enjoy, from Boorloo (Perth) and the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) and beyond.
The Aboriginal people are recognised for telling and sharing stories with one another, and the Story of My Life Journal team draws inspiration from the oldest living culture in the world, as we share stories of our own and support others in understanding theirs.
Always was. Always will be.
