Episode 40: The Problem with Mindset Work

The Problem with MindsetYes of course mindset matters and changing your mindset has the potential to change your life in exciting ways.But you can’t just implant a positive mindset on top of all the negative thoughts and feelings.Mindset is deep work and takes time. Repeating positive affirmations that don’t feel true for you doesn’t work. What does work is acknowledging where you and starting from there.Dropping into the body and noticing the physical sensations that come up for you around a mindset you wish to (or have been told to change) can be really helpful and easier than staying stuck in your head with the ‘shoulds’, ‘oughts’ and need for constant self-improvement.Starting with the Zen premise that you are both perfect AND a work in progress, rather than something to be constantly improved, someone who is lacking and needs to work on themselves is far more empowering than trying to force a shallow mindset shift.Ultimately mindset work is part of the coninutal journey of self-acceptance and the value we place on ourselves, our work and our impact on the world.Be kind to yourself. Go at your own pace with playful curiousity. What comes up for you around the mindset shift is the really powerful stuff.Mindset work is just another tool for helping you live the unexpectedly lovely life you long for. Don’t let it be another thing to beat yourself up with :)And remember you are PERFECT AND A WORK IN PROGRESS.The podcast for high earning, big-hearted, driven professionals  and business owners who want to break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.Overwhelm is Optional: Join The Gentle RebellionFocus and satisfaction at workSwitch off, laugh easily and be present at homeSign up for Gently Rebellious Emails here.The Gently Rebellious One-Minute Journal: A simple, powerful way to stay focused on what matters most to you. Buy here Explore practical tools, resources and ways to work with me.Visit here www.heidimarke.co.ukFree Audio: The One Minute MarkeThanks to Purple Planet for the music.Affiliate Links & DisclaimerSome episodes and show notes include affiliate links for products I personally recommend.
