Unlocking the Power of Mindset

Hey there, beautiful souls! 🌟 Carri The Bubbly Boss Babe here again! :) 


We are back from the weekend getaway and let me just tell you how wonderful it was for this mama's heart! Super amazing to have all the kiddos under the same roof for an ENTIRE weekend! 
We had so much fun, got to see an amazing concert....and let me add, if you enjoy Creed and 3Doors Down, do yourself the favor of seeing them in concert! WOW! Totally blown away.

Ok let me move on!!! 

Are you ready for me to get juicy? Are you ready to dive into a topic that’s close to my heart—mindset? If you’ve ever wondered why some days feel like you’re on top of the world and others feel like you’re trudging through mud, the answer might be in the way you’re thinking. 

Let’s explore how your mindset can make or break your day, and I’ll share some actionable tips to help you harness the power of a positive mindset!

The Foundation of Your Day: Mindset Matters

Mindset isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the foundation of how we experience life. Every thought, belief, and expectation you hold shapes your reality. Imagine your mind as a garden—what you plant and nurture will grow. If you’re sowing seeds of doubt, fear, or negativity, that’s what will flourish. On the other hand, if you plant seeds of positivity, confidence, and growth, your life will blossom in ways you never imagined. 

Let me add. Yes, you can have bad days. Yes you sometimes just have shit. It will happen. No matter how much you work on mindset, no matter how much work you do on yourself, you will not always have amazing days. I want to pop this in here so that you know that this is SO normal. I do not want you to feel like there's anything wrong with you. 

Also, I don't want you to think that there's a magical day that you will come to where you don't have to work on mindset any more. Yes, it will get easier, but it may or may not ever go away.....I mean that part of your brain that does the crap to you and takes you down a dirt road of BS. It's ok to head down that road. It's ok to have things go wrong. It's ok to feel all the feels. My point is that it's imporatant to not unpack your bags and live there. I am here to give you the tips to go through it and come out on the other side!

The Impact of a Positive Mindset on Daily Life

  1. Boosts Your Mood: Starting your day with a positive mindset sets the tone for everything that follows. It’s like putting on a pair of rose-colored glasses—suddenly, challenges become opportunities, and stressors become manageable.

  2. Increases Productivity: When you believe in your abilities and focus on solutions rather than problems, you’re more likely to take action. A positive mindset helps you stay motivated and driven, even when the going gets tough.

  3. Improves Relationships: Your mindset influences how you interact with others. Approaching conversations with an open, positive attitude can strengthen your connections and create a more supportive environment.

  4. Enhances Resilience: Life is full of ups and downs, but a strong, positive mindset helps you bounce back faster. It’s not about avoiding difficulties but facing them with the belief that you can overcome them.

Tips for Cultivating a Positive Mindset

  1. Start Your Day with Gratitude: Each morning, take a moment to reflect on what you’re grateful for. This simple practice shifts your focus from what’s lacking to what’s abundant in your life.

  2. Challenge Negative Thoughts: When you catch yourself thinking negatively, pause and reframe the thought. Ask yourself if it’s really true, and if not, replace it with a more empowering perspective.

  3. Surround Yourself with Positivity: The people, media, and environments you expose yourself to can greatly influence your mindset. Choose to be around those who uplift and inspire you.

  4. Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend. Acknowledge your efforts and progress, even if things don’t go perfectly.

  5. Set Intentions, Not Just Goals: While goals are important, setting daily intentions helps you stay aligned with your values and keep a positive mindset throughout the day.

Why Mindset Mastery is Key to Personal Development

As a personal development mentor, I’ve seen firsthand how mastering your mindset can unlock doors you never knew existed. Your thoughts are powerful—they shape your actions, which in turn create your reality. By focusing on cultivating a positive, growth-oriented mindset, you’re not just improving your day-to-day life; you’re laying the groundwork for a fulfilling, purpose-driven future.

Ready to Transform Your Mindset?

If you’re ready to take your mindset to the next level, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Remember, you have the power to create the life you desire—it all starts with your mindset. Let’s embark on this journey together and watch your life transform!

Until next time, keep shining bright and living your best life! ✨

The ALMOST end to Summer!

 Hey Bestie, Welcome Back!  Yes, antother hiatus taken. Totally unplanned and I vow to get better at showing up here for you!  So what gives this time? So much.  I typically sit down to write to you on the weekends. Well, there has been a lot happening and the weekends ended up being either a blur or a total veg time with literally scrolling aimlessly on socials or just in front the tv. It started with mom. She had a toenail that seemed to be maybe in grown. She tried to cut it out herself. It then got inflammed and then there was a small section that turned black. SO scary.  Well, she's also kind of stubborn. I tried to first get her to go to a podiatrist. She thought that maybe there was a piece still in there that she didn't quite get out. Well, she also has neuropathy and touching her feet is painful. So it went untreated. I then suggested that maybe we just have the people that do her nails try and pull it out. Finally that suggestion seemed a good one. The...

Community and Friendship

  One of the topics I get so many questions on is, friendships in later life.  There's a lot of you that reach out and are not really sure what to do. Some of you have lost friends over time, or had mom friends that you chatted with at drop off and pick up, but maybe it didn't go anywhere. Some of you were just so focused on mom and wife life that the girlfriend life kind of went to the way side.  There's a lot that can happen to us along the way, as life takes on many different shapes. Growth, moving, some of us even just lose ourselves somewhere along the way, and it's a matter of stepping back and getting yourself back. I think I have been every one of these women along my journey.  I thought I'd share a few tips and tricks to help you find your tribe!  1. Start by Revisiting Your Passions Finding friends with shared interests is key. Whether you’re into yoga, knitting, painting, or 80s rock concerts, there’s a community out there! Re-engaging with hobbies is...

September got me feelin' all kinds of ways

Hello, September! Welcoming Fall, Fun, and Feelings 🌻🍁 Can you believe it's already September?  We have a wild and crazy September here at the MacLean house!  For me, it’s not just the start of fall but also the month I turn 50! (Cue the confetti! 🎉) I’m so excited about all the fun things we have planned—pumpkin patches, cozy sweater weather, and warm apple cider. It's that magical time of year when the air gets crisper, and the leaves start to turn those beautiful shades of red and gold. 🍂 We took an adventure to Branson last weekend! That was so much fun! With my 50th upon me later this month, my kiddos surprised me by taking us all to one of our favorite locations! We have not been to Branson as a family for way too long!  We had so much fun!  Back home for now and this next week we will head to California. I’d be lying if I didn’t say this September also feels a little bittersweet. We’re still processing the loss of my father-in-law, and it’s a reminder that...
