Mindful Minute #6: Healthy or Struggle Mindset?

2017 is the year of the Healthy Mindset as I prepare for my next research-based book and podcast. I want to dig into the ways of thinking that enhance health and well being, and the ways that keep us stuck in struggle (always keeping in mind a broader view of health).

Today’s Mindful Minute highlights two quotes from one of my favorite books, The Art of Possibility. Here’s the first one:

Many circumstances that seem to block us in our daily lives may only appear to do so based on a framework of assumptions we carry with us. Draw a different frame around the same set of circumstances and new pathways come into view.

I love this because it tells such an essential truth: it’s our framework, or mindset, that determines what we experience even though we tend to think of it as “just the way things are.” It’s powerful to know we can re-write our stories.

This week let’s be mindful of the areas in which we struggle and try to draw a different frame around it. The Art of Possibility puts it this way:

A simple way to practice it’s all invented is to ask yourself this question: What assumption am I making, That I’m not aware I’m making, That gives me what I see?

And when you have an answer to that question, ask yourself this one: What might I now invent, That I haven’t yet invented, That would give me other choices?”

As you will see from future Mindful Minutes that get more specific….

A healthy mindset gives you lots of choices putting health and wellness within your reach

A struggle mindset restricts your choices making health and wellness an uphill battle
