Hello, welcome to our channel, Top 10s
0:02
You Should Know. Have you ever noticed
0:04
that two people can experience the same
0:06
event? Today, I'm bringing you something
0:09
powerful. The top 10 mental filters to
0:12
see life differently. These aren't just
0:14
mindset shifts. They're tools to change
0:16
how you perceive setbacks, success, and
0:19
even yourself. Because once you learn to
0:22
shift your inner lens, you start seeing
0:24
life in a whole new light. This one
0:27
might be the reset you need. Let's
0:30
begin. One, from scarcity to abundance,
0:33
seeing more than what's missing.
0:35
Scarcity thinking keeps us locked in
0:37
lack. It says, "I don't have enough
0:39
time, money, love, success." And when we
0:42
live there too long, we stop seeing all
0:43
the good around us. But shifting to an
0:46
abundance filter doesn't mean ignoring
0:47
real struggles. It means training your
0:50
brain to notice what is working, what is
0:52
growing, and what is possible. Studies
0:55
show that people who practice gratitude
0:56
regularly feel calmer, more creative,
0:59
and more capable of handling stress. If
1:02
you've been stuck in a loop of not
1:04
enough, try this. Pause and name three
1:06
things you already have that make life
1:08
meaningful. Because sometimes the key to
1:11
peace isn't getting more. It's
1:13
recognizing what's already there. Two,
1:16
from comparison to contribution.
1:18
Focusing on what you bring, not what you
1:20
lack.
1:21
Comparison is like poison for
1:23
perspective. It steals joy, distorts
1:26
self-worth, and makes us forget what
1:28
truly matters. The trap is easy to fall
1:31
into. Why haven't I achieved that yet?
1:33
Why does it look easier for them? But
1:35
when you shift from comparison to
1:36
contribution, everything changes.
1:39
Suddenly, success isn't about beating
1:41
others. It's about offering value,
1:43
making a difference, and growing
1:45
forward, not sideways. This mindset
1:48
helps you stop measuring your worth by
1:50
someone else's path and start walking
1:52
your own. If you've been watching others
1:54
instead of building yourself, give this
1:56
shift a try because real impact isn't
1:59
made by those who chase attention. It's
2:01
made by those who choose meaning over
2:03
measurement.
2:05
Three, from perfectionism to progress.
2:08
Letting go of perfect to embrace growth.
2:11
Perfectionism feels like striving for
2:13
excellence, but it often turns into a
2:15
cage. It tells you that you're only
2:17
worthy when you're flawless, which is
2:19
impossible. And once you fall short,
2:22
which you always will, it whispers, "Try
2:25
harder. Do better. Wait until you're
2:27
ready." But here's the secret. No one is
2:30
ever fully ready. Real growth happens
2:32
when you accept imperfection and embrace
2:35
movement. This shift from needing
2:37
everything right to valuing every step
2:39
forward frees you to take risks, make
2:41
mistakes, and learn faster than waiting
2:43
for ideal conditions. If you've been
2:46
holding back because you're afraid of
2:48
messing up, let go. Because being
2:50
unstoppable doesn't mean never failing.
2:53
It means failing forward. Four, from
2:56
catastrophizing to realistic thinking.
2:59
Rewriting the worst case scenario.
3:01
Catastrophizing is that voice in your
3:03
head that takes one small hiccup and
3:05
spirals into disaster. A missed
3:07
opportunity becomes proof you'll never
3:09
succeed. A minor setback becomes
3:11
evidence that everything is broken. But
3:13
the truth is, most of what we fear never
3:16
actually happens. Our brains evolve to
3:18
protect us. So they assume the worst to
3:20
keep us alert. The trick is learning to
3:23
slow that reaction down. Ask yourself,
3:26
what's the realistic outcome, not the
3:28
dramatic one? Many people find that
3:30
simply naming their fear and grounding
3:32
themselves in facts breaks the cycle. If
3:35
you catch yourself jumping straight to
3:36
the worst case scenario, pause, breathe,
3:40
reread the story you're telling yourself
3:42
because clarity beats catastrophe every
3:44
time. Five. From self-criticism to
3:47
self-compassion. Talking to yourself
3:50
like someone you love. If you talk to
3:52
yourself like your own worst enemy, no
3:54
wonder life feels heavy. Self-criticism
3:57
may feel like motivation, but it rarely
3:59
leads to lasting change. Instead, it
4:02
builds shame, blocks creativity, and
4:05
weakens resilience. That's where
4:07
self-compassion comes in. It's not about
4:10
letting yourself off the hook. It's
4:12
about treating yourself with the same
4:13
kindness you'd offer a friend. Think of
4:16
it like this. If someone you loved came
4:18
to you with the same struggle, would you
4:20
berate them or would you listen,
4:22
encourage, and remind them of their
4:24
strength? If you've been hard on
4:26
yourself lately, try changing the
4:27
conversation. Speak gently. Forgive
4:30
quickly because true growth grows best
4:32
in kindness, not criticism. Six, from
4:36
victim mentality to empowerment, taking
4:38
back control of your story. We all go
4:41
through tough times, moments where life
4:43
feels unfair, out of control, or even
4:45
cruel. And it's easy to slip into victim
4:48
thinking. Why does this keep happening
4:50
to me? But the truth is, every time you
4:53
see yourself as a victim, you give away
4:55
your power to circumstances instead of
4:57
choices.
4:59
Shifting from victim mentality to
5:00
empowerment means acknowledging pain
5:02
without letting it define you. It means
5:05
asking not just why did this happen, but
5:07
also what can I do now? This mindset
5:10
doesn't erase the past. It unlocks the
5:13
future. If you've been waiting for
5:15
things to get better on their own, try
5:17
stepping into the driver's seat because
5:19
healing and growth only begin when you
5:21
reclaim your power. Seven. From fixed
5:24
mindset to growthoriented thinking,
5:27
believing you can evolve. A fixed
5:29
mindset says, "I am who I am." A growth
5:32
mindset says, "I am becoming who I'm
5:34
meant to be." That small shift changes
5:37
everything. When you believe you can
5:38
learn, adapt, and evolve, setbacks
5:41
become lessons. Failure becomes
5:43
feedback. And effort becomes meaningful.
5:45
So many people stop themselves from
5:47
trying because they fear they'll never
5:48
get good enough. But growth oriented
5:51
thinking lets you embrace the messy
5:53
middle, the awkward learning phase where
5:55
progress lives. If you catch yourself
5:57
saying, "I'm just not cut out for this,"
5:59
pause. Replace it with, "I'm not there
6:02
yet." Because unstoppable people don't
6:05
wait for talent. They trust in
6:07
transformation.
6:09
Eight. From black and white thinking to
6:10
nuance. Finding the gray in every
6:13
situation. Black and white thinking
6:15
traps us in extremes. Either I win
6:18
completely or I failed entirely. Either
6:20
they like me or they hate me. Either I'm
6:22
perfect or I'm done. But life rarely
6:25
fits into neat categories. Most
6:27
situations live in the gray in the space
6:29
between right and wrong, success and
6:31
failure, love and loss. Learning to hold
6:34
nuance, to say, "This hurts and I'm
6:36
still okay." creates emotional
6:38
flexibility. It allows room for both joy
6:41
and pain, for both pride and progress.
6:43
If you've been boxing yourself into
6:45
corners, try opening the door because
6:47
wisdom lives in the shades of gray, not
6:50
just in the extremes.
6:52
Nine. From overgeneralization to
6:54
specific clarity, breaking free from
6:56
always and never. Overgeneralization is
6:59
one of the sneakiest mental filters. It
7:01
takes one bad moment and turns it into a
7:03
lifelong rule. I always mess up. Nothing
7:06
ever works out. I never get a break.
7:09
These global statements distort reality
7:11
and keep us stuck in defeat. But when
7:14
you shift to specific clarity to saying
7:16
this was hard, or that didn't go well,
7:19
instead of I'm a failure, you open the
7:21
door to healing. You stop trapping
7:23
yourself in permanent labels and start
7:25
seeing each moment for what it is.
7:27
Temporary, manageable, and changeable.
7:30
If you've been painting your life in
7:31
broad strokes, try zooming in because
7:34
truth lives in the details. 10. from
7:37
emotional reasoning to rational balance.
7:40
Understanding feelings aren't facts.
7:42
Emotional reasoning is that voice that
7:44
says, "I feel like a failure, so I must
7:46
be one." Or, "I feel unlovable, so no
7:48
one really cares." But feelings, while
7:51
important, aren't always accurate.
7:53
Ancient philosophers called this
7:55
emotional fog. When your body speaks
7:57
louder than your mind, the shift: learn
7:59
to separate emotion from logic. Ask, "Do
8:02
I feel this way because of fact or
8:05
fatigue, fear or false belief?" Once you
8:08
create space between how you feel and
8:10
what's actually true, you gain freedom.
8:14
If you've been believing your emotions
8:15
more than your reason, try stepping
8:17
back. Name the feeling. Question its
8:20
accuracy. Because peace begins when you
8:23
stop mistaking feelings for final
8:25
truths.
