50. Mindset Mondays #2: Limiting Beliefs

Welcome to Mindset Mondays. A 6-week series featuring Wendy of The Places Between and Heather Lee from Warrior Fit Academy. Join us on MONDAYS, as we talk all about our mindsets. If you’ve ever wondered how our mindsets matter as they relate to your health and wellness, then this series could be for you. We’ll dive into a new subject each week and give you practical takeaways to improve and retrain your thinking so you can positively show up and embrace all life has to offer.  Week 2 is about Limiting Beliefs // The stories we tell ourselves and the limiting beliefs we believe have the ability to make or break our sense of peace, our well being, and seeing positive results.  Limiting beliefs are formulated because of lies we’ve allowed ourselves to believe but they show up in the stories we tell ourselves. Creating new stories is KEY! BUT HOW?? Let’s talk about creating a new story and what it would look like?  According to Dr. Caroline Leaf, “It has been found that 12 minutes of daily focused prayer over an 8 week period can change the brain to such an extent that it can be measured on a brain scan.”  Your ability to hold attention on one thing for a period of time physically affects matter! That’s how prayer works. It’s more than simply offering up a few words and hoping for their fulfillment. Our thoughts and words are affecting reality whether we are intentionally trying to or not. Even though toxic thought causes brain damage, prayer can reverse that damage and cause the brain and body to thrive. Scientifically - It takes 21 days of focused thinking about one thought to form that neural pathway. It takes 63 days of thinking about that thought every day to permanently wire that belief or thought in and to get it to become what naturally drives us without having to think. So in just 12 minutes a day of focusing on prayer and the TRUTH of who you are, aka believing what the Lord says about YOU is true, It’s possible to rewire your brain! ALL because of Quiet time  WEEK 2 HOMEWORK: We want to challenge you to do a Daily 12min Quiet time so that we can start rewiring our brains.  Here’s some suggestions for your quiet time: Ask God what he believes about you. (If it's negative or condemning, it won’t be from God) ALL his thoughts towards us are gentle, loving, and kind. Look back at Mindset Mondays Week #1. Where did your truth statements come in about who you ARE and combating the lie? Lastly, we want to challenge you to come up with an “I Statement _______” and work that into your quiet time.
