How to clear your mind for better mental health

So, earlier this week I talked about why clearing your mind is important.

Basically, learning to clear you mind can keep you mentally healthy and focused.

Because if chaos reigns, eventually melt downs and burn outs will occur.

In this time, where distractions are everywhere, mental health issues have become the biggest threat to our happiness, and in fact, to our survival.

Our minds are largely unfocused, and therefore predisposed to conditions like high anxiety and depression.

We’re directly, and at all times, plugged into work, friends, family, and the world at large.

If we feel even the least bit “bad” we reach for food, alcohol, drugs, Netflix, and more.

Which leads to a host of other issues – physical and mental.

The truth is, none of us are immune to mental health issues.

It’s something I think we all have to take seriously for ourselves, as we grow older, and for those we love and care about.

So, what can you do?

What’s the BEST way to lose weight in perimenopause?

Are you trying to lose belly fat or other body fat you’ve gained in perimenopause or menopause?

Where do you begin?

This question, that I get a lot, can lead to overwhelm and frustration.

Overwhelm because there are so many exercise programs, diets, and ideas out there.

And frustration because what worked years ago doesn’t seem to be working anymore.

So, I want to share what I’ve found to be the BEST place to start if weight loss is your goal – and you’re in perimenopause (or menopause.)

Here we go…

Belly Fat: How to love it AND lose it

Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but…

If you’ve got belly fat, I’m willing to bet you aren’t loving it.

Am I right?

So, when I’m saying “love it” in the title, you may be skeptical.

I get it.

For most of us, the reaction to belly fat is usually one or more of these feelings:

Disappointment, discouragement, disgust, and disbelief.

(“love” isn’t usually on the list)

Ready to go from Belly Fat to Belly Fit?

This fall I’m creating space for community.

I want to bring together women who are in mid-life and feel challenged by their changing bodies.

Because I think we all need support as we go through the changes of perimenopause and menopause.

I know it’s a time when you can feel alone.

When you feel like your body isn’t yours anymore.

And when it seems like things that used to work for your health and fitness, aren’t working.

That’s why I created the Belly Fat to Belly Fit group coaching program.

How to release TOXIC positivity

Something happens.

Like your teenager makes a huge mess in the kitchen, leaves with friend, and then you have to clean it up.

A thought might pop into your head, “He doesn’t respect me.”

And that thought leads you to feel angry.

And then you have the thought, “I shouldn’t be feeling angry about this, I should be able to look beyond it.”

That thought then makes you feel guilty about feeling angry.

So now you’re feeling angry AND guilty.

And all you really want is to feel good.

Make your health your most valuable investment

Working with women over 40, many women I meet are focused on building wealth.

They’re asking for raises or getting promoted.

They’re finding ways to create passive income, and get their money working for them.

They’re hiring financial advisors and wealth managers to help them get to their goals.

I love that so many women are kicking ass financially.

And, it’s also made me think.

The principles of building wealth are pretty much the same as those that build health.

The big difference is currency.

A 21-Day Meditation Challenge for your body

It’s obvious that you need to move your body to change your body.

But in order to move your body, you need to use your mind.

Because your mind is in charge.

  • It’s your mind that gets your body out the door.
  • It’s your mind that chooses the food that goes into your mouth.
  • It’s your mind that decides how you’re going to deal with stress.

So, if any of your goals include fitness, health, fat loss, or strength…

It’s your mind that will get you there.

How to create a weight-less identity

Losing weight can be a one-time thing.

Like after you’ve had kids, or losing the perimenopause belly.

But often, it’s a life-long thing.

Where it feels like most of your life you’ve been on some sort of diet, cleanse, workout routine…

All in the name of losing weight.

When it feels like a constant struggle, the struggle becomes part of you.

Your identity actually becomes that of someone who always “needs to lose weight.”

So, no matter how much action you take, you may not get results.

Until you shake this identity.
