Healthy Living - The Power Of Your Mindset!

If you are someone who has become unmotivated and this is starting to impact your mindset, you are setting yourself up for further disappointment when you start on a new lifestyle plan. It can be a frustrating place to be. The issue is this: you feel as though you fail every time you try. This limiting belief means you do not put in as much effort as you should, or are not confident in your abilities. Each time you work up the courage to try again, these beliefs typically lead you down a path that does not produce results. Frustration sets in and you begin the cycle all over again, and this is less than optimal if you hope to maximize your success. So how can you fix this? What is the solution?

Change your mindset. You have to believe you can see the results you are wanting. If you can come to accept this, you can begin to look at the results you are seeking. Seems simple enough, right?

Here's how to do it...

1. Analyze Your Previous Failures. First, you will want to look at your previous failures with your attempt to get fit and control your diet and work out what caused you to "fall off the bandwagon." Perhaps it is something you didn't have control over.

However, you now berate yourself because of it: this is not fair to you and is not doing you any favors. When you can see what is happening from an "outside" perspective, it can go a long way towards helping you reach the success you are looking for.

2. Talk to Others. It is also essential you talk to other people. Ask them how they arrived where they are today. Ask them if they would share some of their setbacks with you. The reason for doing this is not to probe, but rather to help you come to see everyone has set-backs from time to time. It is all a matter of perspective. Some view them as a chance to grow while others view them as a reason to not try again.

3. Look At Other Areas Of Your Life. Finally, consider other areas of your life. Have you failed in those? Moreover, are you doing okay now? As you will likely come to see, everyone fails at different areas of their life at least once or twice. However, if you pick yourself up, you will eventually see success. Now, this may be taking you a bit longer than you planned, but if you keep at it and work hard, you will get results. It is just a matter of using the right techniques along with a healthy mindset.

Keep these points in mind. Remember your mindset is very powerful for your overall results so you must do everything you can to ensure you have a healthy mindset as you set out on a new lifestyle plan.

Weight Gain From Fear and Worry - 3 Simple Solutions

The Amish consider worrying a sin! Makes sense to me, since worry, and fear as its evil twin, can only cause trouble and definitely weight gain. You probably know by now that when you are super stressed out, your cortisol levels hit the roof. Then, you want to eat more of the kinds of food that generally cause weight gain-carbs and sugars.

After eating all those carbs and sugars, how do you feel? Relaxed at first, but over the next few minutes (not just guessing here-I know from personal experience-you likely feel more stressed, right? Guilt is a kicker and I would say that definitely fits In with worry and fear as cortisol instigator.

So, how do you keep yourself from worry and fear? It's nearly impossible not to react with worry or fear at times, but you can try several things that may help you:

1. Herbs and other supplements. For example, Holy Basil (or Tulsi Tea) really helps calm my nervous system. It's supposed to be especially good for those of us who have abandonment issues like adoption (I was seven years old when adopted, so had lots of issues from before that time).

Some supplements, like B-12 vitamins and some amino acids, like tryptophan, may work well for you.

Be sure to check with your doctor, chiropractor, or other health practitioner.

2. Keeping the body aligned with good chiropractic or osteopathic care makes a world of difference! I had a friend who told me she knew when her atlas vertebrae was "out," since that's when she felt sick to her stomach and so depressed that she wanted to kill herself! She would never have done that, but it gave her a clue. Then, after her adjustment, she was her normal, happy self again!

3. Most Important: Remember you have a choice! Immediately shift to gratitude. Quickly think of the things that are going Right in Your Life! For example, my car needed an expensive repair. I started to worry and feel stressed until I realized that life had already given me a great solution. I had a speaking gig that would cover the expense! Yes, I had earmarked that money to pay some debt, but I could always do that later. The thing that was going Right in My Life was that I had a solution before I even had the problem.

It's been proven that most of the things we worry about never even occur! So relax and enjoy the ride.
