Mindset Mastery: Less Doing, More Being

Hello friend,

​

Last week I sent an email to a colleague who’s excited about partnering with me for wellness classes at Seva Health. As you know, I recently launched a brand new program, Build A Better Brain, that includes a biweekly newsletter, meal prep guides, simple but delicious brain healthy recipes, and live cooking classes in my private community – all focused on helping midlife professionals understand the connection between food, mood and mental health. As you know, when we enter the stages of perimenopause, menopause and andropause, nothing is more important than having a healthy brain!

After 30 minutes spent writing out important details of the schedule, my email to her bounced back quickly with her out of office message: “I will return to the office on September 10, 2024. Unless this is urgent, please expect a reply within 48 hours after my return. In the case it is urgent, you’ve likely already spoken with me via the number I provided prior to my departure.”

I could do nothing but smile because if there’s one thing I love it’s the perfectly crafted Out-Of-Office email reply and this one was perfect.

After a long hot summer filled with graduations, weddings, birthday parties, meetups and cookouts, my colleague is doing exactly what is so important to do before the winter holidays set in – taking a break.

What I want you to remember this week, Reader is that taking a break is how we keep from breaking.

As much as it may feel like everything on your To Do List is important and urgent I can assure you that 75% of what the reactive brain tells us is urgent can wait.

In fact, my brother, a Six Sigma certified management consultant and expert in efficiency, has a saying that “if everything is important, nothing is important.”

Taking a break is what helps us remember what is actually important, starting with our own health and well-being.

Quiet The Mind, Calm The Heart

Learning how to incorporate breaks into my life changed how I show up in the world.

It helped me become more proactive and less reactive with my time.

It helped me get clear about my priorities and confident with my goals.

It helped me turn down the distractions and turn up my focus on what really matters in my life.

Something as simple as creating a routine that normalizes taking a break – whether 5 days for a retreat or 5 minutes for quiet meditation or reflection – has actually given me MORE time.

I know for sure that having a solid routine that normalizes having breaks will do the same for you.

​

​

If that ‘Hamster Wheel, Always On’ feeling is creating anxiety or making it difficult to get traction on important goals in your life, I want you to know that you can change that today.

Whether it’s weight that you want to lose or time that you want to gain to do something important for your health this year – I’d love to help.

Reserve a private spot during my MINDSET MASTERY COMMUNITY OFFICE HOURS tonight.

We’ll take a few minutes to pinpoint the exact self-sabotaging thoughts that have been generating the most negative emotions in the way you handle life’s challenges and sabotaging your potential for both happiness and fulfillment.

Just click REPLY and say “Angel, reserve a call for me” and I’ll send you the video link.

In the meantime, here’s a simple 5 minute visualization to try out today:

Imagine yourself a year from now living the life you truly want.

What decisions have you made that led you in the right direction?

What routine have you stuck to every day to make you feel more energized and empowered?

Feel the excitement in knowing that a constant life of ‘DOING’ is now a life of ‘BEING.’

Feel the joy you will have in knowing that one simple shift changed the entire direction of your life.

Next, write those heart centered feelings in your journal.

​

​

Don’t let your mind talk you out of taking action to achieve the joy and fulfillment you deserve.

​BOOK YOUR TIME SLOT NOW or just click REPLY if that’s easier.

Either way, decide right now that you are worthy of the life you’ve been dreaming of Reader. Because you are.

Be well. Be love(d). Be good to yourself,
