Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out how to change my mindset lately, and honestly, I’m stuck. I’m not even talking about becoming ultra-positive or anything cheesy like that — I just want to break out of this cycle of overthinking, procrastinating, and constantly doubting myself. It’s like I keep defaulting to this pattern where I assume things will go wrong or that I’ll mess up, even before I begin anything. It’s draining. I’ve read a lot of things and watched videos — one that stood out to me recently (it talked about how our thoughts influence our brain chemistry and how small shifts in how we talk to ourselves can make a big impact). It was kind of eye-opening to realize that I'm not just “thinking negatively” — I’m reinforcing patterns that literally affect how I feel and behave every day. I guess I’m just wondering: what are some realistic, small steps you’ve taken to shift your thinking in a more balanced or constructive way? Not looking for some “just be grateful” advice — I mean, what helped you actually retrain your mindset? Any insights or routines?

How Can I Change My Mindset, Guys?
Your post hit a nerve for me because I’ve been through something similar. One thing I had to do was stop assuming every bad outcome meant I failed personally. That sounds basic, but what helped was keeping a log of how often my negative assumptions were just that — assumptions. I’d write down what I thought would happen, then what actually happened. Over time, that gave me real proof that my brain wasn’t always the most accurate narrator. I actually can say that liven really helped me here
