On mindset: being in the middle

On mindset: being in the middle

Does this sound like you?

You are starting something new perhaps a course, job change or fitness program. You are excited, highly motivated and focused. It is very easy to do what needs to be done. Life is a little brighter and the days move with certain ease with this newfound purpose.

Then at some point in the process, it starts to get harder and less exciting. The days feel like a grind and the motivation much harder.

You start to question your why and feel overwhelmed with the work required to keep going. This is because being in between the start and completion of a goal is difficult and boring. We often sabotage, abandon or shift focus losing all the beautiful gifts and lessons that are part of the journey.

In this episode, I shed light on this normal tendency and offer a teaching to sit with this discomfort and allow the process to unfold without expectations.

On mindset: what’s your true intention?

What motivates you to start a new goal or make changes in your life? So often we take on something new and big before ever questioning why or what are deeper motives are.

Most of us have a misguided belief that once we get the body, the recognition, the money (fill in the blank) we will be accepted and finally find peace and freedom. We subconsciously set our goals based on old wounds that ultimately create more suffering instead of healing.

In this episode, I bring awareness to this seldom discussed topic by offering a way to shift perceptions, become honest about your true intentions (and deeper needs) and set goals from a centred and intuitive place.

On mindset: the cost of comparisons

Do you compare yourself to others? If you say no, I am calling BS.   The reality is that we all do it and in this age of social media more than ever. 
In this episode, I share my thoughts about the costs that mindless comparing to others is having on your overall health and happiness. 
I discuss why I think that comparison is a natural part of being human and actually an evolved part of the thinking mind.
I leave you with a strategy to shift from this negative pattern to one that has the potential to increase your intuition and create a deeper sense of connection with yourself and others.

On mindset: living from your values

If you want to improve your health and are searching for a different understanding based on internal vs. external knowledge, this is the episode for you.

In this show, I discuss how our personal values play a huge role in the lifestyle choices we make.

I share my belief that when we have clarity about our inner values feeding our mind, body and spirit happens with ease, confidence and conviction as it is reflective of a strong sense of self.

The opposite is true when we have misaligned values, our days will be filled with a series of choices that are based on the things we should do or things that we have deemed important because of external influences. It is very difficult to sustain behaviour when it is based on external instead of internal choice.

I leave you with support and suggestions about how you can both identify and stay true to living from your own inner values.

On mindset: self-acceptance as the starting point

Oh la la, I am excited to be starting the series on mindset!  Things are getting juicy as I dive into the impact that our minds and emotions have on our lifestyle choices. 
In this episode, I invite you to reframe your beliefs and intentions when embracing a new goal.
I offer a different perspective around your starting point as being a cumulation of the many starting points you have made throughout your lifetime.
I challenge you to shift your thinking around those well-meaning past exercise programs, nutrition plans and lifestyle changes not as failed attempts rather all part of your stepping stones to this next phase of your journey.  
I leave you questioning what your process in achieving your goals looks and feels like if you wholeheartedly accept yourself with all the starts, stops and lessons you learned along the way.
