Do you ever feel like you’re waiting for things in your life to improve before you give yourself permission to feel great, relax, and enjoy?

If so, you’ll want to read and experience this!

Today I want to share with you a guest article by my dear friend and Law of Attraction Coach, Saskia Fokkink.I met her at Thrive Academy this past November and think she is amazing!

She has some great tips for changing your mindset in order to change your outer results AND a very generous offer to help you do this (keep reading!) 🙂

It’s human nature to think that if our external circumstances are good, then we will feel good on the inside…

But what if it’s actually the other way around?

What if when you feel good, you open up to let in all the good things life has to offer you?

You have everything you need to be happy in this moment.

And once you truly get this on a deep level, you can create beyond your wildest dreams–just by trusting that the good is coming, and that love is present in everything, always.

If you find this difficult, you’re not alone…

It’s normal to think that our circumstances – where we live, what we have, what we earn and so on – have a big effect on how happy we are. However, these things tend to have much less impact than most people expect.

Instead, research suggests that a big part of how happy we are is determined by our attitude and choices, rather than our circumstances.

So we have an opportunity to make ourselves and others happier by the way we approach our lives, and the actions we choose to take.

This means that some simple daily actions can have a positive impact on how happy we are and how happy we make the people around us.

And the beautiful thing is that once you start feeling good internally despite your external circumstances, you don’t need the external validation anymore anyway. And it is from this space that you can start attracting more things that make you feel good in a graceful way.

Here are 3 powerful things you can do to change your inner mindset regardless of external circumstances:

1. Gratitude

Start appreciating the things you already have in your life.

If you start looking for it, love and beauty can be found anywhere. There is so much to be grateful for and appreciate.

One of the ways to receive more is to spend time appreciating what you have, expressing and feeling gratitude for what is working well.

Acknowledge even the simplest things – the flowers you see and smell, the heart-warming smile of a child, the food you eat. You will soon find the Universe sending you even more good things, for gratitude is magnetic.

2. Commit Random Acts of Kindness

Ask yourself “How can I serve?”

Taking your focus off “What can I get?”, and shifting it to “How can I serve?” is a very powerful way to get into a better feeling place.

First of all, it will take your mind off your problems.

But most importantly, serving others raises your vibration.

Did you know that an act of kindness not only makes the giver and receiver feel better, but also has a positive influence on the feelings of an observer?

By practicing extending kindness everywhere, you’ll find support showing up in ways that you could never have predicted.

If you say “How may I serve you?” with kindness in your voice and heart, the Universe’s response will be “How may I serve you as well?”

3. Daily Meditation Practice

You can use meditation to shift into a more relaxed and focused inner state–changing your external circumstances starts with getting more calm within.

No matter what you want to do, you will do it better with a relaxed body, an open heart, and a clear and focused mind.

Meditation is a great way to get connected to that inner space of peace, of trust, of deeply knowing that all is well.

There are many different styles of meditation, including but not limited to breathwork, body scan, and use of mantras and music.

The best style of meditation is the one that feels right for you.

You may decide to experiment with a few different styles and find the meditation style that feels best for you.

Do you find it difficult to do meditation by yourself?

I would be happy to offer you a guided meditation, so you can experience this beautiful space of inner peace for yourself.

In the meantime, leave a comment if you feel inspired to try something new to shift from the inside.

Do you agree that it’s necessary to change your inner mindset first before your outer circumstances will change?
