Emotions + Mindset
“Our emotions create our internal chemistry and affect our genes and health.” - Bernie S. Siegel, MD from the book The Art of Healing: Uncovering Your Inner Wisdom and Potential for Self-Healing.
What we think about and focus on, our subconscious and conscious thoughts and behaviors, our relationships and how we interact with others all affect the emotions that we experience and feel throughout each day.
Reminding ourselves that we are safe, we are loved and we are enough can help us to be calm and put ourselves in a position to heal. When we are aware of our thoughts, we can patiently and kindly shift the way we think so that our emotions may be more peaceful and positive.
I encourage you to pay attention to your thoughts and emotions and how they affect you physically each day. Empower yourself with these seven mindset shifts that will support you along your healing journey.
1. From perfectionism to contentment and gratitude.
2. From unrealistic expectations of yourself to lovingly encouraging yourself.
3. From wanting to be liked to just liking being you.
4. From feeling guilty to self-forgiveness and acceptance.
5. From being hard on yourself to being gentle, patient and kind to yourself.
6. From having difficulty letting go to learning to surrender.
7. From not standing up for yourself to setting boundaries with love and confidence.
May you be your healthiest and happiest self, so that you can give more, love more and help to make the world a better place.
