The body follows signals from the heart, mind, and spirit. The popular adage “the body keeps the score” is another way of saying our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, both positive and negative, show up in our physical, mental, and spiritual health. I like to think of the mind and the heart as gardens that need to be tended to with as much nurturing, care, and nutritional attention as our physical bodies. To ensure that the soil of our minds is fertile for healthy seeds to take root and for flowers of peace, love, hope, and beauty to bloom, we must give attention (water, oxygen, sunshine) to the good seeds, plant new healthy seeds for future fruitfulness, and pull the weeds regularly by starving destructive, damaging thoughts that are stifling growth.
Cultivating a healthy mindset is not just for natural-born optimists. There are scores of recent studies and scientific research that suggest regardless of our current or default mental state/thought patterns, our brains have the ability, or neuroplasticity in scientific terms, to be repaved or essentially “rewired.” With consistent practices like reframing negative thoughts, actively seeking things to be thankful for, and speaking out life-affirming, hopeful statements about ourselves and our circumstances, new neural structures/pathways can be formed. With regular practice, it’s possible!
I like to remind clients that mindset work is a daily, lifelong practice, as our thoughts, experiences, and health are constantly evolving. As your coach, and with your commitment to change, we can work together to help reset your thought patterns to a life-giving, hopeful, open-minded, encouraging framework.
