7. Take Action on Your Intentions for the Year… How to Make a Habit Stick through Mindset Work

“Intentions are the foundation of what you build your habits on.” 
 
If you struggle with making changes in your life that stick lets try looking at what intentions you set for the year and then making habits that stick based on your season of life, but we are going to dive even deeper by talking about how mindset work is pivotal for becoming that next level version of yourself. 
 
Your mindset matters because it has an impact on the action steps you will take to change your life. 
 
4 Tips for improving your mindset so your habits and intentions become lifestyle changes.
Check in on your mindset. Why is it you want to set this habit? Are you doing it out of fear or love for yourself? This is important because your WHY matters and if you are setting goals, intentions, or expectations based on expectations, shoulds, or shame those will not be ones that will feel exciting for you to follow through on. Referenced Episode 3
Get honest and realistic with yourself on what you can hold in this season. There are going to be some seasons where you can hold more and other seasons where you need to simplify and don’t have extra capacity and that is ok. 
Give yourself permission to start small. Focusing on micro habits towards a macro habit is an effective way to make habits stick. If you want habits to change this may be the best strategy for you to start with. We usually go about changing all of our routines all at once, but instead focus on one small habit you can start to implement and then improve. 
Take a test and learn mentality - try it out and see it if works for you! Not all habits will be helpful for you. 
 
Have you wanted to start waking up early, but called yourself “not a morning person.” Brittany shares how she started with micro habits to start waking up before her kids and then shares how she now has a full morning routine while realistically giving herself grace some days.
 
Three powerful questions to journal on in regards to habits:
What are the habits you are intentionally wanting to bring into your life right now?
Why do you want to bring these habits into your life? 
What is one micro habit you are willing to implement, test, and learn from?

3. Work Through Your Mind Drama - How to Flip Your Thoughts to One’s That Serve You Better!

Your thoughts impact your feelings and your actions. We can use our thoughts in a productive way instead of holding ourselves back. 
 
This episode Brittany talks about the mindset work that changes your life and beats the barriers that hold you back from pursuing the things you really want to do, your desires. Our thoughts impact our beliefs and our action (or inaction).
 
When you uncover limiting beliefs that are holding you back, see how they are not serving you, and then change that thought to a more empowering one you will take the action to transform your life. Brittany gives the example of how “I don’t have enough time” was the mind drama that held her back from improving her health and going after her goals. Do you think this too about time? Money? Or anything else? 
 
The goal is not to get rid of negative thoughts and mind drama. This will be something that will always be there and come up in different situations, the goal is to take those thoughts that are not serving you and turn them into a productive way of thinking that empowers you instead of defeats you. 
 
Listen to this episode to learn the steps to take your limiting thoughts into empowering ones.
