Mindset Principles

Today Tom addresses some of the principles of mindset, one of the four key pillars of health. Mind and motivation are intrinsically linked and maintaining your driving force is of vital importance when you are embarking on a new health journey. Here are the tips and tricks of attitude that can help propel you forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The world of health and wellbeing is constantly changing. Research and thus knowledge of health principles are under review always so it helps to keep abreast of all the new methods and theory. Prioritise the important over the urgent. Take the time to see if you are really focusing on the right things. Ask yourself the question ‘am I busy or being productive?’.  Develop a growth mindset. Drop the idea of having no talent or ability, these things are learned or trained. For more information on this, listen to Episode 03 of The Health and Sport Show. Concentrate on what you can control. Our efforts, our attention, our thoughts and our responses. Be aware of self limiting beliefs. The concept of age as a barrier to fitness is a classic in this area. For a more in depth look at this problem listen to Episode 04 of The Health and Sport Show. Change the words “i have to..” into “i get to..”. Often our everyday chores are actually opportunities.  Be aware of your emotions. When you feel an emotional build up you have an opportunity to calm down before you can act on it and potentially exacerbate a difficult situation.   BEST MOMENTS ‘We can be kept really busy but still feel we are spinning our wheels and not moving forwards.’ ‘We must value our attention. Are you investing your attention on things that are making a positive change in your life?’ ‘We can’t control another humans actions, thoughts or emotions.’ ‘I “can’t” give up eating junk food really means I “won’t” give up eating junk food.’ ‘These things we feel we have to do are the things we miss the most when we don’t get to do them anymore.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://youtube.com/channel/UCQXAka99a6MdZexeEJaMZbAhttps://m.facebook.com/elevatehealthuk/https://www.elevatehealthuk.com/https://instagram.com/elevate_healthuk?utm_medium=copy_link ABOUT THE HOST TOM BUTTERFIELD I have always been interested in sports, unfortunately injuries and poor training decisions curtailed my dream of becoming a professional football player. I have always been very passionate about helping people and I get a real kick out of seeing people improve and make progress towards a chosen goal or aspiration. I have been actively learning and implementing knowledge for over 20 years with the aim of improving the level of service I can offer to my clients. This has included formal qualifications such as: BSc (Hons) in Sports Sciences Masters in chiropractic PGDip in Diagnostic Medical (Musculoskeletal) Ultrasonography 14 years clinical experience helping tens of thousands of members of the public to improve their health and wellbeing. Unofficially I have digested countless information in the form of audiobooks, books, video, seminars, and countless conversations with experts within the health and wellbeing niche. I aim for at least one hour a day. The day I stop learning is the day I pack up my stuff and go home.   CONTACT METHOD https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-butterfield-801ba515/https://www.elevatehealthuk.com/[email protected]@healthandsportsshow.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
