5 Tips To Change Your Mindset
Do you struggle to stay consistent to achieve your goals?
Do you feel you are lacking motivation to get yourself on your health and fitness journey?
Are you constantly stopping and starting with new diets, training programs and you can’t get yourself going when you lose the momentum?
I just want to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you.
But you might be having the mindset that is not helping you.
What is a mindset?
Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.

5 Tips to Change Your Mindset
1. Be willing to learn.
When you open your arms to learning, you are opening your mind to new life lessons, and you very soon see that everything can change. From feeling trapped, you learn how to be free. So I would encourage you to seek the answers you have. Is that how to overcome depression, how to live guilt free life, how to lose weight forever, whatever your mind is telling you, it is telling you to become curious to find out HOW. And I can tell you that life becomes exciting when you start finding out the answers you have been looking for, for a long time.
2. Embrace progress and ditch perfection.
There is nothing worse than chasing a perfection. Deeply ingrained feeling of unworthiness comes through seeking perfection that doesn’t even exist. So it is good to be reminded to become present and to celebrate every progress you make, because with progress you move forward, you learn and grow.
3. Gratitude journal.
Start your day with spending time to write about things you are grateful for. Writing down will increase the awareness and bring you the feelings of gratitude. If you are struggling to connect with feeling grateful, just imagine how it would feel like if you lose everything you have. I know it sounds horrible, but very often when we lose something we love dearly, we have huge regrets.
4. Dive into meditation.
Meditation is life changing. It allows you to take a break from a racing mind, busy life and schedule and allows you to sit, breathe and let it all go. I have been a huge sceptic, but since I started doing it, I feel peace and now I am drawn to it to find myself just allowing it all thoughts and emotions to come and go.
5. Fall in love in mistakes and failures.
We all see making mistakes as something that tells others about us, that we are not good enough but in reality by making mistakes, we all learn and get better at it. So I would encourage you to see mistakes as important lessons, to see what is working and what isn’t, because when you keep trying, you will learn and change the approach to get you towards your goal.
Changing the mindset is the key for long term habit and behaviour change. Because how we filter information, if we look at it from the judgment and criticism, we will get stuck in the negative way we see and feel our actions, but if we start changing the way we question our actions and see what we can learn from that experience, we start having different answers.
