What is Having a Healthy

Mindset?
A healthy mindset involves finding ways to
grow from your thoughts, rather than letting
them control your life. Instead of dwelling on a
negative thought until it becomes
overwhelming, the healthy mindset tries to
move beyond that thought or simply accept it.

5 C's of a Healthy Mindset

Calmness - When you are conscious of what you are thinking, calmness follows.
Clarity - The key to coping with indecision is to have a clear understanding of
what matters to you
Compassion - You may accept yourself, establish goals, and have faith in life by
practicing compassion
Concentration - Commitment to oneself is key to concentration. Distractions in
our modern world make it all too simple to forget what's essential to you and
who you are
Courage - By allowing ourselves to behave imperfectly, courage enables us to
develop internal confidence, resilience, and strength

self-worth.

your mindset.
