The
greatest predictor of meeting health goals isn't how clean
you eat, or how hard you exercise. It's your mindset,
and one of the strongest influencer's on your mindset
is the INPUT you allow into your life.
Input
takes three primary forms � People, Thoughts and Things. The
bad news is that these things can bring you down; the
proverbial time and energy "Vampires� affect your subconscious
mind simply by being around you. The good news is that
you have control over which and how much of these inputs
you allow into your life.
People
According
to Jim Rohn, we are the average of the five people we
spend the most time with. It's critically important that
we manage who we allow into our lives, as these people
influence our thoughts, which impact our decision-making.
We must swiftly evaluate if disassociation, limited association,
or expanded association is warranted for the people to
whom we give our time.
There
are people who say things like, "Don't get your hopes
up...�, but if you were to tlisten to these people you
would never get optimistic about anything in life. My
recommendation is to reduce your exposure to those who
only bring you down!
Thoughts
I
call a certain news network the Constant Negative News
(CNN). Everything you see on it is either dreadful, urgent,
or scary. Many Canadians allow their own televisions to
dump garbage in their living room every single day (garbage
in, garbage out). Then over on your devices, your social
media feeds can be filled with negative people posting
negative thoughts, information & gossip (i.e Debbie-Downers,
Negatrons, Chatty Cathy's, Naggy Ned's of the World).
If
you don't limit your exposure to this input, it's to your
own detriment. I call it "tending the garden of your mind�
- if you let the negative input fester and grow, it will
spread like weeds.
Things
It
is a critical practice to appreciate and show gratitude
for what you have, rather than desiring what you don't
have. People purchase and acquire things that help them feel good.
This is a form of intake consumer mentality that offers
quick shots of validation, but which do little to enhance
your mindset. It really needs to be balanced with output
or Proactive Gratitude.
If
you are ready to tackle your health goals our next Biggest
Loser Ottawa challenge will be starting out of a NEW satellite
location at Bank & Heron in early April.
