ThePeopleAlchemist Edit: #SmashYourCeiling, change starts from within – Business & Lifestyle Experimentation for #TheWomanAlchemist – Negative into positive

Hello again, and Happy Monday.

On Friday we talked about building healthy habits to deal with stress better and build resilience. Building habits like:

• Sleep to recharge and restore our brain and body
• Moving or exercising for 30 minutes a day to trigger feel-good endorphins and maintain a positive outlook.
• Meditation to shrink the brain region associated with emotional processes, reducing stress, anxiety and even changing electrical activity in the brain.
• And eating P-R-O-P-E-R-L-Y to fuel the brain and the body.

One other important thing, though, to build resilience is your self-talk. Yes, THAT’S RIGHT.

Learning to reframe negative self-talk is one technique that can help set you on the right positive path.

For example:

I’m failing at everything.

I’m building momentum, learning and growing.

I can’t _______________.

I choose not to right now. 

or

What can I do right now, then?

I never get it right.

I have learned another way to do it better next time.

I’m not a person who exercises.

What can I do to get me moving that I like and do regularly? (hiking, gardening, dancing, walking to work, etc.)

I suck at everything.

I do plenty of things well. List …. 

I haven’t reached my goals fast enough.

This is not a competition, I’m moving at the right pace for me. 

What if _______________________(insert potential bad scenario)?

What if _____________________ (insert opposite potential good scenario) happened instead?

I should be doing ______________________.

According to whom? 

Go on try it – what have you got to lose.

Be Your Best Self – see you tomorrow x
