Be aware that your beliefs are interpretations, not objective reality. Evaluate your mindsets by asking: ‘How is this mindset making me feel? What is it leading me to do? Is it helpful or harmful?’ Then, seek to adopt more useful mindsets.
Acknowledge your stress, welcome it as a sign you care about something, and then utilize the stress response to achieve your goals, rather than trying to eliminate or cope with the stress.
When eating, especially healthy foods, cultivate a mindset of indulgence, satisfaction, and enjoyment, as believing you’re eating enough can lead to more adaptive physiological responses like ghrelin suppression and satiety.
When undergoing treatment, view side effects as a positive sign that the treatment is working and your body is adapting, rather than as a purely negative or harmful outcome.
Believe that intelligence and abilities are malleable and can grow, as this motivates harder work and allows you to learn and build from setbacks.
Recognize and believe that the physical activity you are already doing (e.g., daily work, walking) is beneficial exercise, as this mindset can lead to improved health metrics like weight loss and lower blood pressure.
As a parent, avoid reinforcing the idea that healthy foods are a chore to be endured for a reward; instead, cultivate a mindset in children that healthy foods are indulgent and delicious.
Pay attention to the language used around food in media and by influencers; avoid associating healthy foods with deprivation and unhealthy foods with excitement, as this shapes mindsets.
Be aware that negative beliefs or expectations, such as being told about potential side effects of a treatment or negative sleep scores, can increase the likelihood of experiencing those negative consequences.
Drink electrolyte mixes (like Element) dissolved in 16-32 ounces of water first thing in the morning and during physical exercise to maintain optimal brain/body function and prevent diminished cognitive/physical performance.
Use a meditation app (like Waking Up) to access various meditation programs, mindfulness trainings, or non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) protocols, as even short 10-minute NSDR sessions can restore cognitive and physical energy.
Take Athletic Greens once or twice a day to cover basic nutritional needs, address deficiencies, and support microbiome health with probiotics and essential vitamins like D3K2.
