[MINDSET] My Five Favorite Tips for Keeping My Mindset Positive and Productive

If life were a video game, then the goal would be to figure out how to manage the circumstances you've been "spawned" into to be happy. So says the Art3mis character in Ready Player Two (I've paraphrased of course).

I agree completely which is why I have so many tools to keep my mindset positive, because the reality is, by the time you get to my age (52), life has thrown a lot of curveballs at you and if you don't figure out how to work with them, it's easy to feel beatdown and become negative.

In this blog post I share with you five of my favorite mindset tips in the hopes that it will help make every day a little bit easier for you.

[PRODUCTIVITY] How to Start Doing That Thing You Want to Do!

Sometimes starting is the hardest part. Here's how to get over that hump using brain science and some trickery to get your brain to help you rather than hinder you from "doing the thing".

[SELF-CARE] Automate and Habituate Movement into Your Daily Schedule

[SELF-CARE] Repetitive Eating for Health!

[SELF-CARE] When Life Gets Crazy, Lean Into Self-Care

I once heard a woman say that when her son was diagnosed with cancer, she knew she had to be impeccable with her self-care so she could show up as her best self. She needed to ensure her diet, sleep, and exercise fueled her with the bandwidth she needed. This is a person who knows the value of self-care. 

The state of the world is...a lot. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious, and that's why I've decided to make self-care the focus of my podcast and newsletter over the next few months. To help you come up with some practices that will give you the bandwidth you need to thrive in all areas of your life.

In the next few months, I'm going to go into detail about my self-care practices. I hope that this detailed exploration of the many ways to take care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually can give you some ideas to help you craft some self-care rituals of your own. As I recently heard at a training I attended, the point of learning is not to solve your problems for you, but to give you that little boost you need to get moving to solve the problem for yourself.

I am six episodes in to what I'm calling "A Season of Self-Care". You can find all of them compiled on this one website.

The same can be said for believing that the information you need is available to you.
