How to Have a Mindset Shift
Perspective is everything. Kayse gives so may practical, actionable steps to help yourself have the mindset shift you need that can propel you forward. We all want to realize our God-given dreams, and sometimes that looks like getting our of our own way. Kayse discuss what it was like working through postpartum depression, imposter syndrome, and self-sabotaging. A mindset shift was what she needed. Here are some of the several strategies she mentions in this episode (so be sure to listen to it!):
- Surround yourself with healthy community
- Seek medical counsel as needed
- Celebrate all the small wins
- Keep moving forward
- Let your passions and purpose drive you
- Trust God’s plan for you and follow through
- View challenges as growth opportunities
Kayse consistently trusts God and His plan for her and her business. She is intentional with meeting with Him and repeating Biblical truths. We know that if we’re aligned with God, we’re in the exact right place we need to be. Clarity forms over time when you trust God. We can choose to spend our mental real estate with negative narratives and complaints, or we can focus on our purpose and how it can further the kingdom.
“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:14
How to Take the Leap
Once we know God’s plan, we must take action. This leap of faith moment can be scary and intimidating. Know that God will equip you along the way, so keep your thought life in check. Kayse speaks of surrounding herself with people who feel like warm sunshine and speak life into her; we should do that too. This is key for when we are getting in our own way and letting doubt creep in. Here is what helps Kayse stand firm in her faith in God:
- Run your own race
- Remain confident in your faith
- Get rid of limiting beliefs
- Figure out your top priorities
- Have spoken and known boundaries
- Repeat affirmations and truths
If you need a motivational boost, find things that make you feel alive and set your soul on fire (music, working out, books, podcasts, nature walk, bubble baths, etc…). Ask yourself, “What fuels me?” and make sure you can fill yourself up with the good stuff. Being aware of yourself and how you function best is key for growth.
“I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”
Ephesians 4:1
