How do you feel? You must have heard countless times that what we say to ourselves will eventually come to actualization or our words are part of what shapes our lives.
Guess what? The bible also spoke about the power of the tongue. Our tongue and our mindset are a very powerful tool which helps in shaping our future.
They play a very crucial role in determining our health and wellbeing. It is formed from a mixture of our values, upbringing, life experiences, and opinions.
Definition and Types of Mindset
Two types of mindset are:
- Fixed mindset: They are believed to be inborn, fixed, and cannot be changed.
- Growth mindset: They are mindsets that can be worked on, improved, strengthened through diligence, and hard work. What is the connection between our mindset and body?
The body and mind work hand in hand. Your thoughts can affect the way you feel thereby producing tremendous results. Our mindset is recognized by our body right down to the genes. For instance, when you worry too much, you can get a headache and this can affect your overall performance. Furthermore, your thoughts, beliefs, and mindset greatly affect your body’s response. To achieve an effective result and success in life, your mindset has to be coupled with consistent action. This affects the decisions and choices you make. Also, improving your mental habits yields a beneficial response from your body.
If you are constantly obsessing about all the problems in your life, you are most likely to be stressed compared to people who choose to focus on the bright side of life.
A positive mindset gives you a drive; it gives you something to fight for and generally changes the way you view things. With a positive mindset, you make the right decision and stick to them, it also affects your life expectancy.
