Hello! It’s Monday afternoon, the sun is shining and you could be lured into thinking it was a warm, summer’s day. Do not be fooled!! I am finally getting down to writing a short post. How are you? How did you feel this morning when you woke up realising it was the start of the traditional work week? What frame of mind were you in?
How we wake up can quite often pave the way for the day ahead. Wake up feeling down, miserable, negative thought etc and I bet everything that happens during the day will have a dark effect on you and your mood.
What if you woke up feeling inspired? You felt rejuvenated, with a spring in your step? Would you look at the day’s events in a completely different way? These feelings would, I guess, see you as a problem solver, not giving up at the first hurdle.
Our mindset is key. Perhaps defining that word is critical; the free dictionary states:
- A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations of situations.
- An inclination or a habit.
Today, the opening paragraphs definitely lent themselves to the first definition. Your mindset is, without doubt, your fixed mental attitude.
So my question is, if you are one who leans more to the ‘cannot’ focus, can you change it? Have you tried writing down positive thoughts in the evening before you go to sleep? Keep a notebook by the side of your bed and list three things you are grateful for; happy about; things that made you smile during that day. List them and then read them. When you wake in the morning, read through them. Remind yourself of what made you happy.
Believing in YOU is not always about starting a fitness journey, a nutrition plan; it can simply be about shifting your mindset. It’s not easy … nothing ever is but what if you just began to try?
