Creating a Personalized Approach to Productivity

Is achieving a positive mindset difficult for you? In this podcast episode, Sarah introduces Mindi Huebner, an intuitive mindset mastery coach, and they chat about the importance of mindset and empowerment in our lives. Mindi delves into the science of how our brain works, how to have a better mindset and what tools to use to achieve this mindset.

  Structure is freedom

 

Mindi shares the belief that structure is freedom. In order to be productive, you need to have control of your calendar (whether that be physical or mental). Knowing what needs to be worked on, where you have space to do something personal and when to sit down and focus is a great way to ensure you have a positive mindset.

  Becoming a Belief

 

Mindi shares some insights on how our brains work and how it leads to different mindsets. She shares that our brains delete, distort and generalize everything. For example, if you think that you are overwhelmed and you keep telling yourself that over and over again, it becomes a belief. Being overwhelmed becomes an “I am” statement and it is now your identity. It is what you are in the moment. At this point, you create habits to prove to yourself that you are overwhelmed. You have to make a decision on if you will continue to be overwhelmed or reverse it by believing something else. This could be an empowered or a reassuring statement. Using this habit can really change your mindset for the better.

  Negative Mindset

 

Many people struggle with limiting their beliefs, especially if they do not have the ability to reverse a negative mindset. A limiting belief holds someone back from achieving their potential and living the life they deserve. These beliefs usually stem from what we know as our “comfort zones”, where we are too afraid to venture outside of it to either learn something new or take a risk. Getting out of limiting beliefs involves getting into better habits, which will take time. A better habit would be thinking the following questions about yourself: Who am I being? Who do I want to be? It is important to cast a vision of yourself in a better mindset and then figure out how to work towards that. 

  Creating a Vision

 

Mindi also shares the “why” in creating a vision for yourself. It is important to understand the “why” for your vision. Why do you want to get healthier? Why do you want to chase that dream job? Once you understand this reasoning, you need to focus on the “what”, especially for limiting beliefs. For example, what is it that stops you from achieving a healthier body? This allows you to identify the exact issue behind what limits you so you can tackle it head on.

 

Mindi shares a few tools to get people into a better mindset. One of them is the practice of mental rehearsal. How this works is starting with a well formed outcome such as wanting to drink 8 glasses of water a day. You then start visually seeing yourself drinking these glasses of water and using your other senses to help. You are seeing the glass in your hand, tasting it, seeing the fun glass you are drinking out of. You are seeing and imagining everything that has to do with drinking water. Casting this vision allows you to subconsciously achieve it.
