“So your mind thinks, that is want you will do” is a powerful statement when you think about it. LOL, yes pun was intented. Today I want to share about the importance of dealing with a healthy mindset because you have to retrain your mind to think positive thoughts about healthy living continuously in order to be successful in making good habits.

A simple example of me doing this is when I go to a fast food place, I have the choice to get french fries with my meal of chicken strips or a side salad. I had to retrain my brain to choose the side salad over the french fries in favor of healthly living. Yes, I do also alternate between this mean and an Asian salad (LOVE THIS SALAD). Another choice I made was in getting plenty of rest so that I would be refreshed for the next day means that I have to go to bed at a decent hour so that I can get at least six hours minimum of rest. I’m still working on my mindset about exercise but it is picking up speed slowly.

How have you been dealing with creating a healthy mindset during your 21 days to sustaining a good habit of healthy living? Please feel free to share your experience or advice.

Tip 1: While becoming a vegan is not the answer for everyone; incorporating more vegan meals into your weekly meal plan is a smart idea. If you are not into tofu, just focus on vegetables, grains, legumes, and fruit for your meals and snacks. You can also try the vegan convenience foods like Amy’s and Boca products. Just note that while they are healthier options than their non-vegan, they are not as healthy as fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes.
