In the last blog post, I talked about how poor mindsets can destroy your health. I ended by saying that if you don’t kill your poor mindset it will kill you. Well, that was an incorrect statement. What I should have said is, “If you have any of these mindsets you are already dead, you just don’t know it!” That’s how serious your state of mind is. By the way if you didn’t read that post do so now, as this all links together.

If you think I’m full of it, answer me this: Lets say we have two guys (John and Mike) to compare. John has a lazy, unfocused, ”I’m good for nothing” mindset. Mike’s mindest, on the other hand, is just the opposite. His is determned and hard-working, laser – focused, and he believes he is worthy of goodness in his life.  Who do you think is way more likely to live a healthy life? Who do you think is more likely to live an unhealthy life? Of course we know poor health leads to all kinds of sickness and disease, as well as a shorter life span. There’s my case.

BEFORE YOU READ THE REST OF THIS POST YOU NEED TO DIGEST THIS CONCEPT:

Your mind is nothing more than a living computer. In other words, you input the data that you want proccessed. That data then determines what your mind does. It really is that simple.

So if you have a bad mindset how do you fix it? You fix it by feeding your mind positivity. After all, how do you think you got a bad mindset to begin with; somewhere in your life you were fed enough negativity for it to stick. Now you have to use that same process to get you head in the right place. Using verbal positive affirmations is a great technique. Why do you think professional athletes always talk so positive about their upcoming games? Because they know it helps get their head in the game, so they can be in it to win it. And that’s where you need to be – in it to win it.

In your own words and style, create a positive affirmation about yourself regarding your worth, your focus, your work ethic, and your ability to improve. Set a goal to say it out loud to yourself throughout the day, at least 20 times. Do this every single day without fail. Feed it to your mind enough and it will begin to believe it and act on those beliefs. 

Reading uplifting, motivational books is also a very effective weapon. It’s simply another way for your mind to absorb, process, and eventually utilize positive input. Jump on Amazon.com and run a search for self-improvement. You will find a huge selection. Obviously the ones with lots of good reviews are worth checking out.

Also be sure to surround yourself with positive people. It’s a fact that we are influenced by our inner circle. Keeping company with motivated, positive people will absolutely rub off on you over time. If you apply these techniques and begin to take action to live a healthier life, you will be amazed at your improvement. Keep in mind that this is not an overnight process. It took a long time for you to develop your current mentality, it’s going to take a long time to get rid of it. If you are in need of a mind shift, I seriously hope you use this information. It will make all the difference in the world for you.  Until next time…
