In life, we’re often led to believe that freedom from our problems comes from fixing our challenges.

We think that if we could change our job, heal a relationship, or rid ourselves of stress, we’d finally be at peace.

However, many of the problems we face are less about what’s happening around us and more about what’s happening within us.

Your thoughts, perceptions, and belief systems are often what keeps you trapped in cycles of stress, worry, and frustration.

When you shift away from these mental paralysis, you break free from the struggles you think are external.

Below are seven mental shifts that most people rarely consider—but they’ll set you free from some of the most common and persistent problems.

Understand That You Are Replaceable, and That’s Your Freedom

The world doesn’t revolve around you. In fact, you’re one in seven billion people on this planet. Let that sink in.

The reason why this mental shift is dangerous is that it’ll slap your ego in the face.
