Mindset in Motion

"You can think your way into a new way of acting, or act your way into a new way of thinking."

Sometimes we can’t wait for the right mindset to show up. Sometimes we have to step into the behavior first, and trust that the mindset will follow.
Credit is due James Loehr the author of "Mental Toughness Training for Athletes."
He says we tend to reside in three energy states:
1. Relaxed-Ready,
2. Positive-Energized,
3. Negative-Energized
4. and the dreaded Negative-Fatigued
To move out of the more negative states into the positive ones we need to use our emotions as data. What are they telling us?
Instead of resisting how we feel, we can respond with tools like:
1. deep breathing,
2. focusing on the next small step,
3. reframing self-talk
4. and leaning on others.

MUSIC: "Poema del Pastor Coya" by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano.
