As a healthcare working mom, we can easily get caught up in the daily hustle and grind, putting everyone else's health before our own. We try every health tip, diet, and exercise routine out there, all while juggling the responsibilities of our jobs and families. Yet, despite our best efforts, we may still be struggling with health issues that don't seem to improve. What if I said you might be missing a key component in this equation?
That component is your mindset. By shifting your mindset, you can unlock the potential to achieve the best version of yourself and overcome any health obstacle.
First, let's define what mindset means
Mindset is your mental frame of mind that shapes your interpretation of reality and dictates your behavior. I liken it to the lens through which you see your world and interpret what happens in it.
When it comes to health, many of us have a fixed mindset. We believe that illness is out of our control and that the only solution is to rely on Western medicine.
This way of thinking can be limiting and prevent us from exploring alternative approaches to our well-being. By adopting a growth mindset, we can realize that we have the power to influence our health and explore the many holistic options available to us.
NEXT let's explore the role of stress
Chronic stress has a tremendous impact on our physical health, and it happens to be one of the biggest roadblocks to achieving optimal wellness. As busy working moms, we can all relate to the overwhelming feeling of stress.
However, by shifting our mindset towards stress, we can learn to view it as a natural response to life's challenges and use it as fuel for change. Rather than succumbing to stress and anxiety, we can train ourselves to respond with a positive mindset, using mindfulness or other stress-reducing techniques.
THIRD, LET'S TALK ABOUT SELF-CARE
While we all know the importance of taking care of ourselves, putting it into practice can be a challenge. By redefining self-care as an act of respect for the temple God has given us rather than self-indulgence, we can shift our mindset towards prioritizing our well-being.
This means carving out time for activities that bring us joy and relaxation, as well as committing to making healthy choices. When we view self-care as a non-negotiable part of our daily routine, we are more likely to follow through with it and enjoy the benefits that come with a renewed sense of energy and vitality.
FINALLY, LET'S DISCUSS THE POWER OF BELIEF
Our thoughts shape our reality, and our beliefs shape our thoughts. If you're struggling with a health issue that Western medicine hasn't been able to solve, it's easy to feel defeated and lose hope... trust me, I've been there.
However, by shifting your mindset towards a more positive belief system, you can tap into the healing power of your own mind. This may involve exploring spiritual practices, engaging in affirmations or visualization techniques, or simply choosing to believe that healing is possible.
REMEMBER, once you have the right mindset and the understanding of how this impacts your health, anything is possible! You can begin to look for innovative ways to heal yourself and optimize your well-being, and I can support you in this journey through health coaching.
