Model Mindset

If you think eating healthy is expensive, try illness. If you think fitness and meal prepping is time consuming, try waiting in doctor offices. Short term costs pay long term dividends.

We all want our loved ones to live long healthy lives. But what are we actively doing to make sure that happens. Our objective is to never be preachy, but it is to arm you with some things you maybe never thought of. Our health and wellness should be a primary focus in our homes. Our families are not replaceable and when you find yourself putting effort into having a healthy and energetic home, you will have a lifestyle that is truly sustainable. If this episode helps any of you or you feel could help others, share it. We are in this community together!

It is Model Mindset Monday and in a fitting change to the format, we are talking Embracing Change!

Today, we sit down with Clayton Corto whose resume speaks for itself. Clayton has spent all of his life developing a special mentality that has brought him to where he is today. The mentality that you have to work for everything you have. That you may not be able to teach heart, but you can certainly teach discipline and how to fight for what you want. He has the mindset to always grow and get better and is willing to do the hard things to make that happen.

Happy Labor Day!

On this weeks Monday Mindset Monday, we dive into the world of listening. We can hear everyone around us, especially those closest, but are we listening. We need to stop thinking of our response or stop trying trying to think of a solution to their problems while they're still talking, and just listen. That's what the majority of the people in our lives want. Not to be heard, but for us to listen.

“Instead of focusing on what you DON’T want to be, focus on WHO you WANT to become!”

“It’s not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you.”

It certainly isn't the easiest thing in the world to master. but forgiveness has value that we neglect. Our cognitive capacity is only so much. When we let the small things, the things we cant let go of, keep space in our minds, how do we expect to move forward? Understand intentions and the role they play in to what extent you're willing to forgive. Not everything is forgivable but many things are. When you free yourself of those burdens, you free yourself to grow.

Mental or emotional breakdowns can be hard to predict. We get lost in the emotional fatigue in our lives and get trapped in the sense of overwhelm. How do we escape it? How can we tell a breakdown is coming? We have to be aware and once we are aware, we must take the appropriate action. Join us today as we discuss the ways to sense and avoid mental and emotional breakdowns.

It's time we start to pay attention to the world on mute. The more we can observe, and less we can hear, the better our judgement can be. We can't let our actions be hindered, especially by words. We must take action in order to make our words mean something.
