Change Your Mind, Change Your Life

06.29.15

Happy Monday! This coming weekend is a holiday weekend in the US, which means a lot of you lucky folks who have a long weekend will probably struggle to stay motivated with the shortened work week and all of the 4th of July parties and barbecues on the horizon. I have a very busy, long week, so I need some motivation, too. This quote is my motivation for the week:

Motivational and inspirational quote: "The mind is everything. What you think you become." -Buddha

This week, I want to challenge you to change your mentality to make the changes you want to see in your life, whatever those changes may be. Maybe you want to get back into a fitness routine. Maybe you just want to be a little kinder to yourself. Whatever it is you want to accomplish this week, set your intention and then use your thoughts to carry out that intention.

I think most of us have those negative thoughts that pop up, telling us that we can’t meet our goals, that we’re not strong enough, not smart enough, not lucky enough. My challenge to you is to stop those thoughts in their tracks. Every time you notice yourself thinking something negative, tell yourself two positive things. Think of two reasons why you are strong and you can reach your goals.

Change your thoughts to change your life.

When we take charge of the narrative that goes on in our minds, we take charge of our outlook on our lives. It’s the difference between “I’m not sure if I can do this” and “I will do this.” Take charge of your thoughts to make that change you want to see in your life. You can do this.

If you do take this challenge, please keep me updated on how you’re doing! Contact me on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, or even email me! I’d really love to hear how it goes.

What’s motivating you this week?

    I’m focusing on living a more balanced life, while maintaining my health and fitness. I’m thinking about training for NYCM as it starts today! : ) I try to focus on the positive and know that even when things don’t go the way I want them to, that it’s all for the best in the long run. And once I accomplish my goal, all the struggle will be worth it ! Hope you have a great day!

    One of my favorite quotes Beth! Do you ever have a time when what your heart knows to be true conflicts with what your rational mind thinks is true. Something I was thinking about this morning and it goes perfectly with your quote.

      All the time! (Hello, anxiety disorder. ;)) Luckily those conflicts tend to sort themselves out over time, but it’s so tough to decipher when it happens!

    You know that this is something I am currently in the throes of. I am working on not just believing it, but getting out there and GETTING IT

      So tough to do in practice, but it’s such a big life changer when you do get out there. Keep getting it! 🙂

    I am definitely trying to focus on balance and keeping in mind that life is a marathon, even while I enter into big events and a new phase of my life where that is SO not the prevailing mentality! Having my blog as a place to keep that focus and share the journey is really helpful 🙂

      Yes, blogging is amazing for many reasons, including the ability to find community with others who are on similar journeys. Good luck with yours!
