"When we change our mind, we change our life"
Mindset is a necessary component of Mindset By Amanda, and why we must focus on mindset if we want to optimise our health, our finances, our career, our relationships...and our life.

You don’t need to have it all figured out, just trust the moment you’re in.

This can apply in so many deeply human moments.

🌱 During Major Life Transitions
- Changing careers or quitting a job without knowing what’s next.
- Starting over after a breakup, divorce, or leaving an unhealthy relationship.
- Moving cities or countries without a clear plan.
💔 After Heartbreak or Loss
- When grief or pain makes the future feel foggy.
👶 In Parenting or Early Parenthood
- Feeling unsure about how to raise a child or make the “right” decisions.
🧠 When Managing Anxiety or Overwhelm
- Facing the unknown can trigger the need to control everything.
🎓 In Education or Self-Discovery
- Studying something new, not sure where it will lead.
- Figuring out who you are in your 20s, 30s, or beyond.

⭐️ In those in-between moments, trusting the process is more important than having every answer.
⭐️ During loss it’s okay to just breathe and let time hold you.
⭐️ Parenting, there is no perfect manual, just showing up in the moment is enough.
⭐️ Peace often comes from surrendering to the now, not planning 10 steps ahead.
⭐️ Growth doesn’t always come with clarity, sometimes it begins with trust.

Grounding exercises are tools we can use anytime we feel disconnected from the present moment.
They help anchor us back into our body, surroundings, and reality when emotions or thoughts start to overwhelm.
………
💧 Change of Environment 💧
Look up from what’s bothering you. Take 3 deep breaths.
Walk to the bathroom and wash your hands. Slow it down. Focus on what’s around you. For example:
- the feel of the running water.
- the smell of the soap.
- the texture of the paper towel.
Think: “I’m here, I’m safe, this moment is mine.”

Then, feel the door under your fingers as you open it. Feel the floor under your feet as you walk back to resume your day.

……

This grounding activity allows you to reset.
This small change can interrupt the anxious loop in the brain. 🧠

Good Morning, here-and-now soul 🧘‍♀️
Today’s not just another blur on the calendar.
It’s a whole experience—waiting for you to be in it.
You don’t need more hours.
You need more presence.
The ability to fully land where you are.
To tune into your life—not just scroll past it.
…………
Today’s Vibe: Presence Is Power
We’re wired to plan, to look ahead, to optimize.
But sometimes, the deepest power is in pausing.
Right here.
Right now.
Nothing added. Nothing rushed.
……………
Today:
🍁 Pause + Notice
Take one moment today to stop and feel your surroundings.
What do you hear? Smell? See? What’s happening inside you?
➰ Break the Loop
Interrupt autopilot. Do one thing today with full attention.
Your coffee, your walk, your next conversation.
🌟 Practice “Presence Points”
Pick 2 “anchors” today: moments when you’ll come back to now. (e.g., every time you wash your hands, or finish a task.)
📱 No Devices for 10.
Take a 10-minute tech break. No phone. No scroll. Just you + life. See what opens up.
……………
Why is this important?
Because when You Skip the Now…
😩 Mindless habits
⏳ Time slips away
🌀 Disconnection—from others, and from yourself
🧍‍♂️Life becomes something you watch, not something you live
……………..
The science and research behind presence:
🧠 Focus Reduces Stress: Presence helps regulate your nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and anxiety.
💡 Boosts Memory: You’re more likely to remember meaningful experiences when you’re fully engaged in them.
❤️ Improves Connection: People feel more seen, heard, and valued when you’re actually there with them, not half there, half online.

🛑 What part of my life deserves my full attention today?

01/07/2025

Today’s all about noticing what fuels you... and what drains you.

You have a resource more precious than time, money, or motivation.
It’s your energy. ☀️
Not just how much you have, but how you manage it.
And today, you’re reclaiming it.
☀️ Protect what powers you:
Step 1: Track What Boosts You
Notice what activities, people, or places leave you feeling more alive.
Write down 3 of them.

Step 2: Spot What Drains You
What feels heavy, dull, or depleting?
You don’t need to fix it all today, but start by naming it.

Step 3: Choose One Upgrade
Pick one low-energy habit you can shift today.
Take the walk instead of scrolling. Say no instead of stretching yourself thin.

Step 4: Schedule a Recharge
Block time—even 15 minutes—for something that fuels you.
Think of it as non-negotiable maintenance.

💡 Quote of the Day:
“Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you’re going to use it.”
— Oprah Winfrey

💵 The Daily Self-Question:
If I treated my energy like currency… what would I stop spending it on?

🦄Tip for Success:
Time gets scheduled.
Energy gets protected.
Start with what powers you—and everything flows better from there.

A powerful reminder about personal responsibility and agency.

If you’re unhappy with a situation, but you’re not taking any steps to change it, then consciously or not you’re choosing to stay in it.

It calls out passive acceptance and challenges you to reflect:
• Are you tolerating something that doesn’t serve you?
• Are you stuck in a cycle that you actually have the power to shift?
• Are you blaming external factors while ignoring your own ability to act?

It’s not about blaming yourself it’s about reclaiming power.
💓 Sometimes change isn’t easy or instant, but acknowledging your role is the first step. 💓

✨ Healthy boundaries = healthy relationships with yourself and others ✨

It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to be honest. It’s okay to put yourself first.
🧠💛

Setting boundaries has a powerful impact on an individual’s mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Here’s how:

🧠 Mental Health
• Reduces stress and anxiety by preventing overwhelm from taking on too much.
• Helps clarify your identity—knowing what you will and won’t tolerate strengthens self-awareness.

💛 Emotional Wellbeing
• Builds self-respect and self-worth. When you enforce boundaries, you’re reinforcing that your feelings and needs matter.
• Prevents emotional burnout by limiting energy spent on draining or one-sided relationships.

👥 Relationships
• Leads to healthier communication and mutual respect.
• Helps you avoid resentment that can build from overextending yourself or being taken advantage of.

🛑 Without Boundaries:
• You may feel lost, resentful, used, or constantly overwhelmed.
• Your sense of identity may blur as you try to please everyone.

⸻

In short, setting boundaries is an act of self-love. It protects your energy, honors your needs, and teaches others how to treat you.

Stress isn’t just in your mind - it lives in your body.
Each breath you take sends a powerful message to your nervous system.

Slow down. Breathe consciously, and remind yourself that feeling centred, grounded, and calm is always in reach.

Breathe like your nervous system is listening.

🧠✨ This week in therapy, Mindset By Amanda explored coordination and reasoning skills with children, through the Trick Stick game — and wow, did they rise to the challenge!

Watching children grow their problem-solving skills through play is always a joy. 💪🎯

This is where the best conversations are had — in the moments of movement, laughter, connection, play, and shared discovery. 💬💛

Hello deep thinker 🧩

Let’s be honest. You’re smart. You care. You’re self-aware.
That’s great—until your brain turns into a 24/7 think tank of doom spirals and what-ifs.
Today we’re cracking open the door and stepping out of the mental maze.

🧩 Escape the Overthinking Loop 🧩
Overthinking isn’t insight. It’s just mental noise that masquerades as productivity.
And let’s be real: 90% of the time, it’s fear dressed up in logic.
The solution? Get out of your head—and into movement.

Today’s Mini-Challenge: Stop the Spiral

🌀 Step 1: Catch the Loop
Name it. Literally say:
“I’m overthinking this.”
Just interrupting the pattern takes away its power.

🌀Step 2: Dump It Out
Open a notes app or grab a pen. Brain-dump everything you’re spiraling about—without editing or fixing.
Clarity comes after the chaos leaves your head.

🌀Step 3: Decide on One Tiny Action
Ask: What’s the next 5% of progress I can make on this?
Don’t solve the whole thing—just move an inch.

🌀Step 4: Move Your Body
Walk. Stretch. Shake it out. Your body is the fastest way to remind your mind that the world is still turning.

“You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”
— Dan Millman

🌟 The Science of Overthinking

Cognitive Load Overload:
When you try to mentally juggle too many things, your working memory short-circuits. That’s why you feel overwhelmed, even when “nothing’s happening.”

Fight or Flight in Disguise:
Overthinking is often a low-key stress response. Your brain is scanning for threats—even imaginary ones.

Action Calms Anxiety:
Taking action (even tiny) gives your brain closure. No decision = ongoing alarm bells.

🔔 Why Overthinking Blocks Growth

❌Kills Momentum: You burn energy thinking about action instead of taking it
❌Feeds Fear: The longer you delay, the bigger the fear grows
❌Wrecks Confidence: Constant second-guessing trains your brain not to trust itself
❌Steals Joy: You miss the moment because you’re busy dissecting it

🤔 Am I thinking… or just avoiding?
Then pause. Breathe. Choose action, not analysis.

Reframe: “my struggles are shameful” to “EVERY HUMAN STRUGGLES”

If you’re facing a challenge right now, there are three things that I want you to remember.

First, the challenge is not the only thing in your life, even if at times it feels like it is. I know it can feel so all-encompassing, so overwhelming. But when you can, try to pause and consciously look up and around to the other parts of your life. They are still there. You need them: they can give you strength, support, and confidence to take the next step forward.

Second, remind yourself: this challenge isn’t going to last forever. Use a mantra like, “This is not permanent — it’s just a part of my current experience.” Even if it feels like it will last forever, nothing does; the only rule of life is that this too shall pass.

Third, this challenge does not define you as a person. You are so much more than whatever it is that you’re facing. It is not you, and you are not it. Creating this distance helps you to look at the problem objectively, take action wisely, and persevere courageously.
