A new mindset...

While I was folding laundry today, I decided to be extra productive and listen to a health call offered by a team of Juice Plus distributors. The calls are not really talking about Juice Plus but rather reviewing what they have termed the 5 pillars of health. I love listening to health-related info and I really loved this call! It was full of great information about changing your mindset. You can listen to the call here but I decided that even a brief outline of the key points would likely be helpful to someone. These points can be applied to any new mindset, not just health and I thought they were very insightful and explained in a reasonable and doable fashion. Hope they're helpful!

So, if you want to change your mindset about something ...

1.  Determine and recognize your current mindset and be willing to change.
2. Feed the mindset you want which will in turn weaken the negative mindset.
3. Change your mindset through repetition and focus on your new positive mindset
4. LOVE your new mindset. If you have a new mindset you are striving towards but you resent it, are angry about it, really don't want to have a new mindset, you will struggle consistently. You need to have a passion about the new mindset. Passion creates endorphins and endorphins are largely responsible for learning new things.
5. Choose something to do daily that moves you closer to your new mindset.
6. Don't allow yourself to believe you don't have what it takes or you are incapable of change - understand that by creating a new mindset, you are forming new neural pathways in your brain. Resistance to change isn't about you being inadequate - it's about forming new neural pathways in your brain and that's hard work!

8. So dream big!
