What is mindset?

Your mindset is the sum of your knowledge, including beliefs and thoughts about the world and yourself in it. It is your filter for information you get in and put out. So it determines how you receive and react information.

I am troubled.  I have plenty of knowledge, and the wisdom to carry things out.  However, it is as if I no purpose or set of purposes.  My goals are out of wack as well, but my real problem is not having a mindset.  I would like to be able to say, "I can do it without worry, no matter what mistakes I make. Mistakes make me human and I will survive.  I can start over and not give up.  I will not be or remain afraid or worried or frazzled."  Sadly, that has not been my mindset.  In fact, the opposite of that particular mindset is my mindset.  "I cannot do all things through Christ who strengthens me, for I have no strength.  I am always anxious, worried, or fearful.  If things don't go right, then I will never accomplish my goal or at least might as well."  I am even afraid to eat breakfast thinking that I will overeat for the rest of the day.  Well, starting right now, I would like to change that negative mindset. I tire of the struggle to change.  Right now, I realize that eating more whole foods would be of greater benefit to me. My weight and my eating habits are something that I think about every day.  It is quite annoying and I also wonder why I don't frazzled about that.  One thing is for sure, I need to relax.
