There are four major focus areas in healthy change. The first area is your mindset. A productive and positive mindset helps us overcome the mental challenges that are part of the change process. As we think about mindset, I like to break it down into three, time-phased parts: the present, the future, and the past. We should assess the present, envision our future, and learn from the past. In assessing the present, there is one thing you absolutely need to know. It is that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be right now. Your past experiences, whether you view them as successes or frustrations, have brought you to the place where you are right now. You are more equipped to shape your future self than ever before. Use the tools that you’ve acquired through the ups and downs of life to start living a little bit healthier today.
