Change Your State, Change Your Life
Why is your state of being so important?
If you are in a negative headspace, not achieving your goals, surrounded by draining relationships, or under-performing, changing your state will change your results.
There are two ways to change your state of being.
Through your physical being, your physiology
Through your mental being, your mindset
Physical. You can change your physical being in many positive ways. Breathing techniques change your physical state. You can clap your hands powerfully together. You can stand or sit up straight. Practice HUCO, Head Up Chest Out. You can stare at yourself in the mirror and smile every single morning for 1-5 minutes.
If you want to break a negative cycle of overeating, for example, if you find yourself overeating at a public place I challenge you to jump up on top of the table and scream to everyone, "I just overate, I will never do it again". This one is a bit drastic but do this a few times and you will stop overeating, I guarantee it.
Mind approach. This is more challenging of the two, because the mind is always developing and changing. I find it highly powerful to identify how you affiliate your past and present memories or experiences through the 5 senses, specifically the touch (kinesthetic), sound (auditory) and sight (visual). If you can identify how you maximize or respond through those senses you can harness the power or change the negative fear based moments. There are many powerful exercises for this.
The major component is to change the focus. Specifically, change your identity, change your limiting beliefs and change your strategy/plan.
Most importantly, find out how you operate and work through your mind according to what is most impactful for you.
Maybe you are slouched over, not performing, not hitting goals or other negative impacts on your life and future. You must simply start by changing your state, again, this is done through the physical being or by changing your focus through your mind. Connect these together and you will change any situation and get maximum results.
