Having a positive mindset is probably the most important component to facilitating positive change; without it we drastically reduce the likelihood of making significant improvements to our lifestyle, health and wellness.
Benefits
How we think creates thoughts, those thoughts send messages to the body to create chemicals that create emotions. The more we think in the same way, the more we create a routine (habit) and framework to our personality.
Therefore if we continually think negative thoughts, we will continue to create the same negative routine & personality.
Sadly we drift through life using 95% of our 'unconscious mind' which is made up of memorised behaviours, emotions, perceptions & reactions.
The remaining 5% of our 'conscious mind' is constantly in battle to override the 95%, often failing and resulting in feelings of unworthiness, doubt and negativity.
The Hack...
The brain doesn’t know the difference between a thought and a memory. Therefore our thoughts potentially have the ability to rewire the brain into believing a NEW REALITY.
When we create a new routine based on positive thoughts, we create a new personality, and start to react to our environment differently. If our thoughts and feelings are not aligned there is internal conflict, and we cannot create a new environment.
Daily mindset exercises will could really improve your outlook on life, providing you avoid falling into the same train of thought that creates negative reactions.
Some pre-existing medical conditions may be negatively impacted by breathing exercises, acupressure therapy and cold exposure, therefore it is strongly advised that you consult a medical professional beforehand.
Never practise breathing exercises whilst in the water, driving, operating machinery, or if you are pregnant.
If you suffer from high blood pressure or you are pregnant, please do not attempt any form of acupressure therapy.
