Audience of this Blog: Those who works in Traditional Technologies and in transformation phase to Automation/Devops Area.

Today’s IT is drastically changed in terms of technologies & Practice. As you know, the word “Devops”, “Cloud”, “Automation” is now very familar and Popular in the IT area. It is our time to transform our mindset to to Automation, which means

Whenever we get a task or problems or issues, we need to ask certain valid “WH” questions(How, What, Why, When, Where) with in ourselves.

An example like

a) How we can Automate this particular task to improve time Consumption, Cost etc

b) What technologies or Devops tools or Scripting Languages we can use  to Automate.

c) Why we are going to use specific technologies to auotmate , a comparison of technologies.

d) When is the target date that we are going to complete it.

All such above questions need to arise in our mind when we get a task or problems inorder to automate or minimize the problems or any tasks.

Moreover, I beleive we should transform our mindset into a Automation/Solution oriented mindset rather Just a support oriented to reach into Devops/Automation practice level maturity.

The change is very difficult and we all resist change that is general human nature but Change is must , here are few tips that we can shape our mindset that I took it from knowledge in reading different articles, books  etc.

What is a Mindset?

Our mindset is the sum of our knowledge, including beliefs and thoughts about the world and ourself in it. It is our filter for information that we get in and put out.

To Develop the right mindset is the way learning something new and strip out the most relevant information

And I think a good mindset will reflect reality and will help us. But not in that order. I think the order has to be like this:

a) Find the beliefs that are most supportive

b) Check if the beliefs are in harmony with reality

We want to use our mindset to make a positive change. If you believe I am a successful, you will act in that way.

If you believe , I want to be a successful , you will act in this way too: like you are NO successful.

How to Change Your Mindset.

1) Get the Best Information Only

2) Role Model the Best People

3) Examine Your Current Beliefs

4) Shape Your Mindset with Vision and Goals

5) Find Your Voice

6) Protect Your Mindset

1) Get the Best Information Only

Try to find the very best information in your field. Then focus on learning this information only.

The Good: Reading great books/information products and some great blogs.

2) Role Model the Best People

Look for the best people in your field and try to model what they did right. Adopt their kind of thinking and mindset. Follow them.

3) Examine Your Current Beliefs

Examine your mindset by looking at your current belief-system.

Are these beliefs supporting you? Or are there self limiting beliefs? You have to identify those possible blocks and turn them around.

To uncover your beliefs ask yourself the right questions about where you want to go and what is standing in your way right now.

4) Shape Your Mindset with Vision and Goals

A proactive approach to build your mindset is to clearly see where you want to go and set clear goals.

5) Find Your Voice

One of the most beautiful things is when you find your very own way, something what you could call finding your voice

To help you find this voice, answer these 4 question.

1. What are you good at? That’s your mind.

2. What do you love doing? That’s your heart.

3. What need can you serve? That’s the body.

4. And finally, what is life asking of you? What gives your life meaning and purpose? What do you feel like you should be doing? In short, what is your conscience directing you to do? That is your spirit.

6) Protect Your Mindset

One thing you have to do is to protect your mindset against from the person who habitually expresses negative or pessimistic views and people who want to drag you down.

You also have to protect it against bad information. Keeping your confidence is a big thing.

Every conscious thought that we have is recorded by our subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind does not question or argue with the validity of a thought. It literally takes our word for it. So, if we say, “I am tired or I am broke,” it just says, “Yes, you are tired – Yes, you are broke,” and your thoughts are accurately recorded.

Your subconscious mind then communicates directly with the quantum mind that manifests your reality. Just like the subconscious mind, the quantum mind always says yes.

Always Think Positively which boost our subconscious mind more powerful

“A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.” – Mahatma Gandhi

7 Powerful Ways to Supercharge Your Life With Positivity

1. Read

Read books that inspire, encourage, and motivate you. It doesn’t really matter if you already know what the book is all about. What matters is that you continually feed your mind with positive and inspirational material. The more time you can spend in the land of the positive, the better.

2. Listen

The second thing I personally really started like to do listen to audio programs. Some great authors that I personally started enjoy the videos of Brian Tracy, Earl Nightingale, and Jim Rohn.

One of the youtube video of Brain Tracy which I like is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmihXD4HMNI

3. Focus

Focus on the positive instead of dwelling upon the negative. Most people concentrate on the problems at hand instead of the solutions. It has been shown that most of our worries never even happen. That means that you are worrying and making yourself feel stressed out for no reason at all.

Next time you feel the negativity come on, flip it over and think about the positive aspect of it and what you can do about it. For example, instead of asking “Why me?” or “Why am I so unlucky?” ask yourself “What can I learn from this?” and “How can I turn this around?”

4. Release

There are some great ways to release negative thought patterns and negative beliefs. Some of my favorites are EFT, The Work, and Sedona Method. I recommend you try one of the methods above. I personally really enjoy working with EFT right now, which is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. The more negativity you can release from your life the more peace you will feel inside and the more positive you will be.

5. Habits

What kind of habits do you have right now that cause negativity in your life? What would your life look like if you started to change them? When we make the decision to change a habit, it almost happens by itself, but we have to be determined to make it happen.

6. Goals

The majority of people never set any goals. I know that it can be scary to decide on where we want to go, and we want to leave our options open, but nothing happens until you get clear about where you want to go and what you want to do. It doesn’t matter if our goals change. In fact, that’s normal, and one of the reasons why we should keep tweaking our goals as the seasons change.

One of the best ways to set goals is to use the S.M.A.R.T, which stands for:

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely
Our goals will gives us focus and purpose, so make sure we set goals in each area of our life. The most common areas are health, relationships, career, and personal development.

7. Passion

Following my passion and moving towards the life of my dreams, the positivity in my life has magically increased. Most people are doing things they don’t want to do, and they never even take a step towards finding and going after their passion.

Don’t let this be you. Go after your dreams, even if it means only being able to put aside 10 minutes a day. If you start today, you can build upon what you have, but if you keep putting it off, it will never happen.

Increasing the positivity in your life is simple, but not easy. You have to take responsibility and make it happen, because no one will do it for you.
