Mindset Part 2 – Values and Negative Beliefs | Guest Post on The Paleo Mom
Can I just say that I’m SO excited to be doing this and interacting with y’all? By the way, I’m a Native Texan, so “y’all” is a word for me. All right, let’s get this Mindset party started!
I assigned you homework, did you do it? I don’t waste any time, welcome to being coached by me. If you have not done your homework, you missed my first post or you want to review it please go back and read “Guest Post by Cinnamon Prime: What is Mindset?,” and do the work. Why? You won’t get anything out of these posts that will make a difference for you if you don’t.
Last time I mentioned that negative beliefs will wear us out. This isn’t my opinion, this is science. Negative beliefs send out a stress response which send out cortisol and that increases inflammation (Oh hello, autoimmune nightmare) and then you get worn out and sick. Negative beliefs are not the only thing that causes stress, and they also make a huge impact on health. So let’s dig in.
Homework #1 – What do you believe is TRUE about you and your health?
TRUE being the key word.
Since you’re human, you’ll have beliefs that are empowering like, “I can do anything I set my mind to” and you’ll have beliefs that are disempowering like, “I always have bad luck.” Our focus will be on shifting around the disempowering beliefs.
If you think it’s TRUE that you’ll be sick forever, you’ll never lose weight or feel good then know that you’re sending messages to your subconscious to get that done.
