Mindset Is Everything
Slow Living Podcast with Host Stephanie O'Dea Episode 28 - Mindset Is EverythingToday, we are going to talk MINDSET.This word gets thrown around an awful lot —and I have a lot of thoughts on what it means, what it doesn’t, and how to slowly and carefully massage your mindset into one that works well for you — in whatever phase of life you might be currently in.In a nutshell — mindset is about staying in the here and now and paying attention, without judgment, to what your brain is saying.You have a constant dialogue – when you are driving, when you are trying to fall asleep –And a lot of times you aren’t paying attention to what your thoughts and mental chatter say –And I’m suggesting that in order to live out the life of your dreams – the kind of life you want to live on purpose –You should try your hardest to pay attention to your thoughts the very best that you can.Mindfulness is a psychological process that allows you to pay attention to experiences as they happen without judgment.It’s simple:It’s about fully attending to what’s happening, to what you’re doing, and where you are.Mindfulness plays a huge part in emotional stability because it represents one single factor:It allows you to be not overly reactive to the negative situations happening in your life.Schedule a free mindset coaching call at stephanieodea.com/mindsetOverview I love helping listeners embark upon their own journey to Slow Down, and live the life they’ve always dreamt about: one filled with peace, purpose, and abundance.I understand how you’re feeling when you are rushing around trying to do “all the things,” always playing catch up and finding time to get things done.I know because I’m a mom too.It’s okay to stop and breathe.
