How a Productive Mindset Leads you to a sense of fulfilment
??How would you like to go to bed at night?
?
At peace and happy with a day well spent or tired, stressed out, and wishing you never have such days anymore? The first one would be your obvious choice.
?
How does one attain such happiness?
?Happiness is a feeling which may come and go just like any other feeling. What you would want is the key to living a fulfilled life.
Fulfilment is simply a process wherein you find ways to live a life pursuing things you are passionate about and value the gift of life bestowed by the Almighty by making your life meaningful, as we call it, "The Integrated Life "
The key to attaining such fulfilment is by cultivating The Productive Mindset .
?A famous quote says- Do what you Love and Love What you Do.
?If we follow our passion and Do what we love, we will naturally succeed. However, there are a lot of distractions and hurdles in our paths. So naturally, each of us has different coping and fighting mechanisms to overcome such obstacles. A productive mindset acts as a ladder to overcome such barriers. Following the Productive mindset will help you live a life of fulfilment by making a total change in your mindset and your take on given circumstances.
?Let me share a few ways to help you change or impact your life to cultivate a sense of fulfilment.
?●??????The Productive mindset makes you feel good/happier and uplifts your mood.
?Statistics show that happier workers in the office performed 12% better than others. The productive mindset helps you generate positivity and radiates more happiness from your inner being. When you are aware, you tend to steer clear of negative people spreading negativity and get closer to positive people creating positivity around you. The Productive mindset helps you to be judicious, making you highly aware of the current circumstances and evaluate better.
?I am sure you think that we cannot stay happy all the time. We are not monks.
?That’s true, but when you are more alert and determined, you try to force a smile even in adverse situations. That is the power of being conscious of fulfilment. That involuntary smile will slowly become your habit, and you will then automatically start keeping your calm and remaining happy in tough times. The key to such happiness and positivity is the Productive mindset.
By changing your mindset, you attain a sense of fulfilment with deep satisfaction in your life.
?●??????The Productive mindset helps you develop critical thinking weighing pros and cons at personal and professional levels.
It helps you evaluate the pros and cons of every situation and emotionally work out the best way to deal with it. Since you evaluate every situation, you do not get hot-headed quickly. That way, you stay away from conflicts or arguments. You become more empathetic toward other people’s takes as well and evaluate everything critically. Since you are aware of your?Focused goal, you forego short pitfalls at personal and professional levels. This way, you can work better at achieving the desired outcome or goal.

●??????The Productive mindset helps you to develop curiosity.
?Since you are curious, you divulge into the vast ocean of knowledge. You get encouraged to learn new things, and hence you grow faster. You consistently track your growth and keep investing in your learning. When you live a fulfilled and productive life, you love learning new things and relating that with your current progress. You learn, unlearn and relearn faster, and you are not afraid to implement the new things you learn. Because you are focused on your goal, you always take steps towards its achievement without diversion.
?●??????The Productive mindset will push you to review your goals.
When you define a goal and visualize it, you make a plan for achieving it. You then divide it into smaller tasks or a roadmap to achieve the bigger goal. As you review your achievements of small milestones, you feel a sense of fulfilment. Celebrating these small wins keeps you motivated to achieve your focused goal.

?You are intentional about spending your time since you are clear about want you want to achieve. You then learn to focus your time to align it with your vision avoiding any distractions in your path. That is how you grow and achieve your desired outcome.
?●??????It makes you live in the present and enjoy it.
Life is not always about professional achievements. If you do not have a family to celebrate your success with you, you would not be able to enjoy the fruits of your hard-earned achievements alone. It just wouldn’t be the same without your loved ones. By developing a productive mindset, you understand this fact to the core and make optimum use of the time you have in hand. You do not grieve when things aren’t in line with your expectations and are open to making adjustments.
?You utilise each moment that comes your way and strikes a balance between personal and professional life. E.g., If a meeting of a significant project you were looking forward to gets cancelled, you quickly plan out the next possible time to reschedule that meeting and spend the current time in hand with your family or any other task at hand.?Cultivating a productive mindset makes you open to adversities, live in the present, and strike a balance in your life. Here, the cancellation of the current meeting wasn’t in your hands, but making productive use of the available time was in your control. You certainly get to know your boundaries, accept things you can’t change, and move forward to the next step. That is how you live in the present and make the most of it.
?The Secret to ultimate happiness
Why do you think more famous and successful people engaged with NGOs? Why do people do charity now and then?
Simple because it gives them the satisfaction of doing something for society and fulfilment for themselves. When you know this secret, you automatically become a giver, thinking of giving back to the community. You feel blessed and grateful for everything you have, and you wish to share it with others. You are more willing to play your part in any way you can as it gives you a deep sense of gratitude and contentment in giving.
?●??????The Productive mindset creates opportunity from adversity.
If any unpredicted adversity hits you, you are not shaken to your roots. You maintain your calm and refuse to give up.
