Strategic Business Tips from Kim Beasley

Posts Tagged ‘mindset’

I’m on my fourth day of my healthy living series and I have come to realize that it’s a mindset issue more than anything. So I stared facing this reality yesterday when I was at McDonald’s. I chose a side salad instead of french fries when I ordered my meal. Though this may seem like a simple choice, it actually wasn’t.

As I continue my healthy living series, the reality is that if I want to become healthier that I do have to make right choices that are good for me. Having this mindset will help keep me focused on becoming healthier and truly having a life changing experience.

Have you been battling with getting the right mindset so that you can face the realities of healthy living? Then I encourage you to make the choice today to face reality and do what right for you. Living a life of making right choices truly easier that the wrong ones. I would definitely encourage you to surround yourself with positive people to support you as you make a transition to healthy living. Check out “Get accountability partners and mentors“.

• Latara Ham-Ying: Dealing with a healthy mindset 

So I got a late start today on getting my blog post for my healthy living series. Today I want to share how I determined my mentor and accountability partners. Knowing that starting a healthy living series wasn’t a favorite thing for me, I decided that I needed accountability partners who would really keep me on my toes. As for my mentor, I wanted someone who would not only challenge me but also help me make wise decisions about changing things I need to do during this series.

So one of my accountability partners is Carol Dickson-Carr (@ProfCarol on Twitter) because she has been one of my encourager when it came to starting my healthy living serious. I found her on Twitter and have watched as she share how she was working out often. The mentor that I have chose is Heather Moreno because she has been an encouragement to me over the last year and has written a book that helps me to understand the importance of living healthy. The title of the book is “Achieving Physical Wealth: 8 Simple Steps for Braking the Rules of Staying Fit“. I have been reading this book and I have learned a great deal about the importance of have a physical fit schedule in place regardless how small it is.

Tip 3: Anytime you are adjusting your diet I think you need a support system in place. Locate a coach or join a healthy meal planning service to help you stay on track with healthier eating.

Face the reality of changing life for a healthier me

Tip 4: Don’t fool yourself into thinking that if you eat a piece of cake everyday or some fried chicken two times that you can work it all off. It just does not work like that. Once thing I have learned and still have to practice daily is that eating healthy is no joke. You have to determine that you will eat right, just say no, and get real with your eating habits. Then and only then can you adjust them.

As I start my new 21 day makeover for healthly living, it was suggested to me by my co-contributors that I determine the areas of my life that I want to concentrate on. I chose only three at this time so that I wouldn’t get overwhelmed. The areas I will focus on are eating, exercise and thought-life.

Each of the areas that I chose are important to me as a business owner because each one helps me sustain my body so that I am able to function and run my business. If I become healthier in each of these areas, I feel that I will be able to produce at higher levels of performance in my business.

As a business owner, have you reviewed how healthy you are living? Are there areas that you need to improve in so that healthy living is top priority? Then please feel free to share about areas you are concentrating on for healthy living improvements.
