How to have a Healthy Mindset

Think it, want it, get it – this is me when it comes to anything. I’ll go after anything and everything that I want until I have it. If I don’t want something I won’t put any effort into it. I am also very good at knowing what’s good for me, when I should say yes, and when I need to say no.

Having a healthy mindset is so important. How can you make intelligent decisions if your mind is unhealthy? Keep reading for tips on how I keep a healthy mindset.

Prioritize Your Health

• Eat Healthy Food – Prevent serious medical conditions by eating healthy. Eat your greens people. Take your health into your own hands.

• Value your alone time – Be a good listener to your body and thoughts. What do you need? Take the time to pay attention to your needs on your own time, alone.

• Go to the Dentist Regularly – Your oral health has a huge impact on your overall health. There is a direct systemic connection between your mouth and body.

• Get yearly check ups with your physician – It is important to talk to your Doctor about your stress, diet, exercise, vaccinations, and preventative treatments. Of course it will depend on your health conditions how often you go to the Doctor…

Surround Yourself with Good Energy

• Life Giving people – People who want to see you succeed and will help you get there. People who will speak words of encouragement over you. People who are going to keep you in line with your morals and steer you in the right direction, always.

• Friendships – Good friendships with similar beliefs to the way you live your life. Provide positive energy and a good atmosphere.

• Make time for your loved ones – Your family, call them and speak life into them. Tell your mom and dad you love them. Call your in laws and ask them how they are doing. Make the effort to bring good energy to your loved ones.

Encourage Yourself with your Thoughts

• I can totally do that – Having a “can do” attitude is life changing

• I am enough – Tell yourself you are more than enough for anything

• I am worthy – You are deserving of your hearts desires

• I am going to have a good day today – Even if you think the day will suck, you decide in your mind and heart that you’re going to seize the day and win.

• I will learn how to do that – Be open to learning new things, don’t turn everything down.

• Is this really my best? – Is this the best you can do, if not do better.

• Mistakes help me improve – I am not perfect, but I will be greater because of my mistakes.

• Optimism, Optimism, Optimism – Positive thoughts, don’t let the negative thoughts creep in and take over your mind. Shut those thoughts down immediately!

Do Your Best at Work

• Take initiative – If you see something that needs to be done, just do it.

• Be proactive – Make things happen and lead by example.

• Don’t fear failure – Be ready to grow and embrace not being perfect. You will always learn.

• Control your being – Watch your attitude and non verbal cues.

• Be disciplined and honor your commitments – Be accountable for your own actions, don’t beat around the bush but take responsibility instead. Don’t make excuses when you mess up, just own it.

• Set goals and make sure you are moving forward – Your goals should be realistic and always move forward and have a forward thinking mindset.

• Challenge yourself and go outside of your comfort zone – Be open to learn new things that are outside of your job duties to just be better! The more you know, the more valuable you become.

• Say yes to things you don’t want to do or learn – You will grow and learn something useful.

Self Love/Self Care

• Candles – Rose and fresh linen are my favorite scents. They take me away to a state of tranquility. I love candles.

• Baths – Baths are so important. How can you go wrong with some bubbles, music, and candles? Just relax. You deserve it.

• Facials – Take care of your skin. Glow up baby girl!

• Spa – At home or at an actual Spa. Whatever your budget allows. It is so easy to make your own face masks or do your own spa. Check out my homemade face mask here!

• Massage – If you have a significant other, reserve a time during the week to have them give you a 20 minute massage. This will help you to relax. If it’s in your budget you can certainly get a professional massage too. This is really good for your health.

• Meditation and Stretching – Yoga or breathing exercises! Focus on your breathing. Improve your flexibility, release tension snd stress, improve your posture. Let your body feel and be calm.

• Learn something new everyday – Do your research. If you want to know something look it up in the moment if you can so you don’t forget. Make a running lists of things you want to learn and make an effort to learn something daily.

• Manage your emotions – How do you respond to things? What does your body language say? Take control of them.

• Read your Bible and Pray – Awaken your faith, grasp a greater sense of guidance and understanding for your life, open your ears to what God is telling you, be obedient. Pray fire, declare things over your life, be faithful, and be thankful in your prayers. God can do the impossible.

Sometimes I think I am crazy or a bad person for isolating myself from people and then I remind myself that I only want the best for myself and others. How can you provide the best for others if you aren’t taken care of yourself first? The truth is, you can’t and there’s no shame in owning that. Be consistent with your self love and self care. Be selective in who and what you give your time and energy to. It is up to you to recognize who and what is worth your time and who and what is not.

Do something for you today! You can master your mindset in all areas of your life. Make a list of where you’re going to take control of your mind today and then be consistent. Get on a personal self care schedule and improve your mind. Pay attention to the good vibes that follow and the things that start to fall into place. Always do what you feel and be confident in who you are being.
