So far, we've covered the first 3 steps in "Reinforcing MINDSET... While We Finish Strong in 2025" which are as follows:

Step 1- Begin each day with a positive mantra or statement

Step 2- Focus on SOLUTIONS, rather than problems

Step 3- Surround yourself with positive people 

And today, in this episode, we're wrapping it all up with Step 4:  "Avoid complaining about things being 'hard'."  

This is important because words matter, and when you repeatedly complain about things (situations, relationships, challenges, etc.) being "hard", your brain will look for evidence that proves this statement which means that you will continue to encounter "hard" situations.  

However, the opposite is also true.  If you, instead, repeatedly say "I'm figuring this out" (in response to hard situations), your brain will look for evidence to prove THIS statement.  In the process, you're creating new neural pathways that reinforce perseverance, rather than the opposite.  

This wraps up the 4 part series on "Reinforcing MINDSET...While We Finish Strong in 2025".   I hope this "mindset refresher" has been helpful because strengthening our mindset is a great investment and a little intentional effort goes a long way to creating the lives we want.

Cultivating a positive mindset is a useful practice in building a solid foundation that allows us to choose thoughts and actions that support our long-term goals.  

In this 4- episode series, we're discussing 4 ways to reinforce positive mindset. In Episode 77 and 78 we introduced the topic of Reinforcing MINDSET and covered...

Step 1: Begin each day with a positive statement or mantra (episode 77)

Step 2:  Focus on solutions rather than problems (episode 78)

In this episode, we cover Step 3-  to surround ourselves with positive people (and/or input).  

We are elevated when we surround ourselves with people who are energizing and positive. We all know these people--- the ones who shine a light wherever they go, encourage others, and expect more of themselves too.  These people have a "magnetic" energy that boosts our outlook and overall well-being, so it makes sense to foster these relationships.

Cultivating a positive mindset is a pivotal practice in building a solid foundation that allows us to choose thoughts and actions that support our long-term goals.  

In this 4- episode series, we're discussing 4 ways to reinforce positive mindset. In Episode 77, we introduced the topic of Reinforcing MINDSET and covered Part 1-Beginning each day with a positive statement or mantra. In this episode, we discuss Part 2, which is to focus on solutions rather than problems.   

When we label situations as "problems", the brain interprets this as a threat.  This activates the stress response (fight or flight) and this is NOT what we want when we're dealing with typical, everyday (non-threatening) situations. Rather, when we deal with situations and shift our focus to solutions, activity in the prefrontal cortex is facilitated and we are able to more readily formulate solutions to challenges.

In this episode, we talk about how to SAVOR the holidays and truly enjoy this magical time of the year with the festivities, twinkling lights, traditions, and gatherings with family and friends.  

To experience the holidays in the best way, it's helpful to let go of unrealistic expectations and things that are out of our control.  Instead, let's be intentional and focus on these 3 things-

• Slowing Down
• Being Present
• Seeking the good all around us

Doing this, opens us up to engaging fully with those we love and creating memorable moments.   I hope you'll consider bringing this calm presence into your holiday as well!

We all know, intuitively, that gratitude is "good for us" because it's all about focusing on the good things in our lives.  But the benefits of gratitude go well beyond a superficial "good" feeling.   In this episode, we'll talk about the ways in which gratitude impacts us mentally, emotionally, and physically, and how to PRACTICE gratitude. 

The experience of gratitude is a cognitive-emotional phenomenon that results in a boost in oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which allows us to feel happier and experience more emotional resilience.  At the same time, cortisol levels drop and we experience less stress and improved emotional regulation.  These effects give us a greater sense of well-being, while improving our interactions and relationships.  

In this episode, you'll learn 4 easy ways to practice gratitude--- and then notice how this impacts your life in a positive, uplifting way!

We've all heard the quote, "Happiness is a journey, not a destination." This episode is about embracing this idea and making the decision to enjoy the journey!

In our culture, screens are everywhere and OVERSTIMULATION has become commonplace.  It’s often very easy to recognize overstimulation in kids, but what about ourselves?  Most adults are overstimulated as well, whether we know it or not. 

We're bombarded with daily stimulation through our screens, media, and messaging, so we need to be aware of the effects of overstimulation.  Beyond awareness, we should actively take steps to “reset” our nervous systems.  

In this episode, we talk about the physiological effects of chronic overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system including anxiety, depression, inflammation, chronic stress, burnout, inability to concentrate, sleep problems…and more.  Finally, we also talk about simple ways to step back from the “noise” and open up to the idea of having more “blank space” in our daily lives.

What's your go-to state of being on a daily basis- is it worry or calm?  

Asking this question brings awareness to where we are right now and whether we are leaning more towards worry, or into a calm state of being. In this episode, we discuss the effects of living from an elevated state of calm, including parasympathetic nervous system stimulation and the consequent benefits of this physiological response.

If you answer this question and conclude that you're leaning heavily into a state of calm, most of the time, carry on!  Protect your sense of peace and calm with everything you've got.

But, if you find that you're leaning into worry most of the time, we can change this starting today.  In this episode, we'll discuss a 3-step process to shift away from a baseline state of worry, and towards a preferred state of calm.

So many of us get caught in the trap of feeling like there's never enough time, and then we find ourselves RUSHING through our days.  This means that we're moving from one task to another, feeling like we're not getting anything done, and then feeling more stressed!  

We need to interrupt this pattern of rushing, to restore calm to our nervous system and promote better health.  In this episode, we discuss 5 Ways to Stop this Pattern of Rushing, while quieting the sympathetic nervous system and stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
