Today’s Presentation: Julie on Changing your Mindset


Mind set is the ideas & attitudes in which a person deals with things
How should we? What we do? Constrains us
These are the things we put on ourselves
Beliefs can be made up of
Environment
Things that happen to us
Things we need to achieve to get to where we want to be
Main Belief most people have is “ I’m not good enough”
We set high expectation of ourselves and other’s have high expectations of us
Not giving ourselves permission to live our full potential
Living to expectations - leads people to depression
We need to change our beliefs
Change the language we use
We have 50 -70,000 thoughts per day
The more you say it the more you live it – so think, say and live positive
Delete “have to” and “should” and can to “I am”
Take down walls around you
Take a positive look at the language you use
Write down positive language and put on your fridge or wall.
I am looking forward to….
I have ….
I nourish myself with love.
I bring peace and calm into my life
Questions
How do you turn the chitchat off in your head?
We trained it, so we have to untrain it
Need to meditate
Be mind full – means being present in the moment
Exercise – physically, which will change your endorphins
Change your focus
Meditate:
Clear a room,
Light a candle and watch the flame
Eyes will get tired
Make meditation a regular habit in your life, same time each day will help you take control of your life
How to put things in practice?
Takes time
Deal with one item/chore at a time
Write a list of everything you need to complete
Organisation
Change deadlines from 20 minutes to 24 hrs.
Think about everything differently
Be aware of your values
Be aware of your beliefs
Be aware of what you say
What you say becomes your belief
Remember …. I am….
Do it
See it
Hear it
Feel it
Complete a vision board
Set goals
Be aware of your language
Remember we all have an unconscious mind of a 7 yr old
Dreams – write down the information or words in what your dreams tell you.
Be positive

Thanks Julie for your time and information today.

Today we raised $40(included in total for year). Thanks for your support. Today’s winner is Sue Liptrott, Thanks to Tarnia who has donated today’s prize.
