Transform Your Mindset Now: Steps to Lasting Change

Contact us by whatsapp on +447485622662- let us know what you think of this episode. Welcome to this enlightening miniseries of ABGW, where we embark on a gentle journey through the beautifully chaotic realm of being human. Join me, Cheryl, as we slow things down and remind our nervous systems that peace isn't merely a prize to be won, but a practice to be embraced. So find your breath, carve out your space, and let's dive in together.In this episode, we reflect on a powerful lesson from my mentor, Kelly, who once said, "True change can only happen on the inside." This sentiment resonates deeply, especially when we consider how often we try to change our behaviour first, believing that if we work harder or wear a smile, life will fall into place. It's a common misconception that leads many of us to feel like we're cracking the whip on ourselves, only to find that once the pressure eases, we slip right back into old patterns.We often move to phase two, the so-called attitude shift, plastering on grins and repeating affirmations in hopes of masking our inner turmoil. But let's be honest: behavioural change is external, and attitude change is fleeting. Both rely on willpower, which can be as short-lived as a toddler's energy after a sugar rush. So, what's the alternative? It's time for a paradigm shift—an internal transformation that changes not only what we do, but also how we perceive things. When our perceptions shift, our behaviours follow naturally.In our next episode, we'll delve deeper into this transformative process, exploring how changing the lens through which we view our lives can lead to profound changes. If you've ever found yourself back at square one after trying to change a habit, this journey is for you. Until then, take a moment to breathe and remember: progress is progress, no matter how small. Embrace the feelings you carry with you, and trust in your journey. Every small step is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future.The contents of this podcast are for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.
