I found this great article from Michelle Hastie who is a fitness and lifestyle coach on the power of mindset when you are trying to lose weight and wanted to share it with you today. I believe (as does Arnold Schwarzenegger) that any kind of body transformation is 90% mental. Get your head in the right place and you can make huge changes.
I used to tell people that, "I help women entrepreneurs lose weight by mastering their mindset"... I say used to because what has become clear to me is that most people don't truly understand what it means to master their mindset.
Mindset to many people means how much they are willing to push through or have willpower. They say, "Oh Michelle you are so right, mindset is the most important thing because you have to be able to fight your mind when it tells you to eat cake, or take a nap instead of the gym." To me this is not mastering your mindset it is mastering your will. This comes in handy if you are competing or on a reality show trying to win a million dollars by standing on one foot the longest. This is not real life.. unless you plan to be in competition mode forever.
What is the Truth About Mindset and Weight Loss you ask?
To master your mindset for weight loss you must have mastery over your thoughts, your beliefs and your patterns. In other words, you want mastery over who you are "being" not what you are "doing."
This takes extreme consciousness... you cannot run on auto-pilot or you will continue getting the same results you have always gotten. You also have to be extremely honest about where you are and where you want to go. This means if you hate running up and down those damn stairs you can't use that as your tool to overcome your mindset because all that will teach you is how much will power you have... it will not change your thoughts about it, your beliefs about it or your patterns for real weight loss results that last. You cannot go from hating the stairs to loving the stairs by forcing yourself to run them each day. You either change who you are being and become someone who truly loves running stairs deep down or you accept that stairs aren't your thing and there are million other ways to move.
When it comes down to it, most people will only force themselves to run those stairs because they believe if they push through the weight will come off their body. While this may work for some, it won't work for most long term because you can only fool yourself for so long. The truth always comes out and it always sets you free.
So, it's time to ask yourself...
Do you want to master your mindset or do you want to master willpower?
If you want to master your willpower I can write out a year long exercise and eating plan for you and you can see how religious you can be following it. It leaves no wiggle room and if you have an unexpected party or dinner it will throw everything off. If you get invited to Mexico the whole plan will be messed up and frankly it's extremely unrealistic and will not last long term.
Find out who you are "being" right now that is creating you current results. Your thoughts, beliefs and patterns. Decide who you want to become and write out what this person would think, believe and what patterns they would have. Become this person immediately. Be conscious in your days to notice when you slip back in to the old way of being. Eventually this new way of being will simply be who you are. You will automatically think the thoughts of someone who is at their goal weight. You will have the beliefs of someone who never struggles with their weight and you will run patterns automatically that are in alignment with your highest goals.

8 week meditation study[/caption]
Cool new 8 week meditation study came out today. I have mentioned before that I have meditated a fair amount in the past. Nothing like Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love, but enough to know the affect that it can have. Meditation is great. Anyway one of the big things that meditation does is still the mind so that you are much better able to keep your concentration as well as creativity.
Studies tend to be inconclusive on the physical effect to your brain from meditation but a new report seems to show that in just 8 weeks it can make a big difference.

Start with your soap. There are several different facial soaps out there that can fall into the eco friendly products for beauty sector. We want to be sure that it is a soap that is not only good for the earth but something that will offer a healthy clean feel without all the unnecessary chemicals as well.

That's right, lower wattage bulbs fall into this category as well. Plus you can find makeup that is eco friendly as well. Look for Aubrey Organics, Aveda, and Physician's Formula.
As you get into the shower stop and think about the water usage, and what you can use for eco friendly beauty products that will help you get fresh and clean in a more natural manner. There are several eco friendly shower gels, soaps and shampoos. Look for Aveeno and other similar brands.
