Last week we talked about the road to health and the 5 Essentials of Max Living.  For the next 5 weeks, I will help you understand how to better apply each Essential in your life for a better health outcome! This week is Mindset. 

Max Living Essential #1 – Mindset

Purpose: Understanding the true principles of health and healing, and creating a mindset of success.

Changing your vantage point will help you begin to see life more clearly and handle stress much differently than before. There are several techniques and strategies to help you eliminate the negative aspects of your thinking and facilitate lasting, positive changes in your life.

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs

Your beliefs have been programmed in you throughout your life. Limiting beliefs are those that hold you back from achieving what you want in life. Think of them as roadblocks: false ideas that you have about yourself that make progressing harder than it needs to be.

Have you ever wondered why you want to change but found yourself reverting to your old habits? Wonder why this happened? Maybe it wasn’t laziness or a lack of discipline. Maybe it was a limiting belief, a roadblock. The answer to your problem isn’t starting another gimmick, fad diet or self-help program. You need to find out your limiting beliefs and overcome them.

Examples of Limiting Beliefs:

• “I can’t afford to eat that way.”
• “My parents had to take these medications, now so do I.”
• “I’m too old to _______.”
• “I’m not a healthy or successful person.”
• “I don’t have time to exercise.”
• “I have to think about it.”

You will act in accordance with your belief system whether it is true or not. The key is to find what beliefs you have about yourself that are creating interference between where you are and where you want to be and eliminate them.

Beliefs are often in blind spots, meaning you don’t even know you have them. Through advanced workshops and questionnaires at our office, you will be able to identify these beliefs and revolutionize your mind. The only thing you should believe is that anything is possible.

Positive Self Talk

How are beliefs formed? They are formed by the way in which you think. This is called self-talk.

Self-talk is the internal conversation that you have with yourself all day long. Your subconscious records this conversation without putting up an argument, so if you tell yourself that you are fat all day, your subconscious will believe that you are fat.

So if you are what you say you are, then say it positively! Your beliefs about yourself can be reprogrammed through consistent, positive affirmations. Here are the criteria for writing these affirmations: Personal, Positive, Indicative of Achievement, Action Words, Specific.

Examples of Positive Self Talk:

• “I thrive on my daily jogging because I feel healthy, strong and energetic.”
• “I am accountable for the results of my decisions and actions.”
• “I develop feelings of respect and self-esteem in myself and others.”

Once you have written your affirmations, it is important to repeat them daily. Over time you will replace old habits and beliefs and become who and what you want to be.

The Big Why

Everybody needs to know why. Why do I want to change? What is my motivation?

Looking good isn’t a big enough reason, but staying healthy to spend more time with your children is.

To find your big why you must search your heart and mind to come up with the most compelling reason that you can for taking control of your life and health. When you have your big why remember to repeat it daily along with your affirmations in order to cement it into your belief system.

Remember these Mindset principles and you will believe that success is just around the corner.

Stress and negativity can both prevent you from being able to grow mentally. If you change your vantage point, it can help you better deal with stress and provide you with the motivation you need to succeed. A Max Living doctor can provide you with the coaching you need to kick negative thoughts to the curb and help you make a positive change in all you do.

STOP LIMITING BELIEFS

Throughout your entire life, your beliefs were programmed into you. Thankfully, you can change them without having to go through a tremendous amount of effort. A limiting belief can give you a false idea about who you are and what you should be doing. They stop you from getting where you want to be in life.

The time to ditch your old habits is now. You need to first identify what the limiting beliefs are and then work to overcome them. Regardless of whether the beliefs you have are accurate or not, you tend to act according to them. You have to pinpoint those beliefs that are interfering with your life and stopping you from succeeding.

In fact, you might not even realize that you have these beliefs until it is too late. By working with the team at New Life Chiropractic in Rocklin, you can identify the problem areas and revolutionize the way you think and feel.

USE POSITIVE SELF-TALK

Self-talk is essentially the conversation you are having with yourself throughout the day. For example, you might find yourself saying how fat you are or how stupid you are. Before you know it, you believe those things to be true. Stop speaking negatively and start acting positively to begin transforming your beliefs.

Write your affirmations down and say them out loud every single day. Over the course of time, the bad habits slip away and the new ones take their place.

Discuss your concerns with the team at New Life Chiropractic in Rocklin to help you uncover the why in why you want to change. Once you know the why, you can easily make it a staple of your system.
