"Learning how to turn off your mind is as important as learning how to work on it." - Andrea Hanson

This week I'm doing a little behind the scenes look at what I'm working on right now. My new online course, The 8 Week Mindset Challenge is starting soon, and this week I'm sharing what the challenge is all about - including negative thinking and the surprising ways it impacts us.

I'm telling a little of my personal journey when I took a deep dive into my own negative thinking after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. And common challenges among high-achievers, who I call "Ex-hustlers," in adjusting to life with chronic illness - even years after the onset of the disease. (I put myself in that category as well.)

In this episode I discuss:

• The power of taming our inner critic (and the common advise that actually makes it louder).
• Teaching what I call the Whole Mindset Method and why the power of using our whole mindset is so much greater than simply looking at positivity.
• My upcoming 8 Week Mindset Challenge and how it sets you up to make any lifestyle change (exercise, food changes, rest, whatever you like) in a much easier and sustainable way. And how you can get involved.
