TVC085 Mindset With Michelle Chalfant
Talking Mindset Mojo with therapist Michelle Chalfant from The Adult Chair.  Why it’s crucial to re-set your intentions, get out of your own way and find the space to live BELOW THE CHIN instead of the stories in our head. We touch on the top tips to get back in the drivers seat, avoid the old nostalgic stories and shift from ego to heart driven decisions.
Michelle and I connected via social media and immediately knew we shared the same focus for clarity and levelling up in life. Her in Tennesse and little old me in Noosa at the time.
We had a great video chat but technology didn’t allow that to shine the other week so I’ve opted for audio.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this open and refreshing conversation we had about leaning in, asking for help, knowing it’s OK to hear voices and how to tell them to be quiet.
Here’s 7 steps for regaining your mindset mojo. 
 
Mindset Mojo 1: The first relationship starts with yourself.  
It’s important that you figure out what your ingredients are for your own personal, emotional, mental, and spiritual well being. Then you can start attracting and developing the right relationships, whether it’s work or whether it’s personal. The first thing it starts with yourself.

What are the biggest challenges you face at the moment? Are you overwhelmed – feeling like wading through mud.  Have you come unstuck from their mojo?
What do you think the three top challenges other people are facing at the moment with everything going on?

No matter what we are doing. When we get overwhelmed, we typically go outside of ourselves to look to find help with stopping that overwhelmed. We might go then for a glass of wine or we go out and do something, eat, watch t.v. We do something to numb our pain instead of looking directly at our pain or our overwhelmed.
The first step is to pause and start a personal chemistry check.

Start looking inside of ourselves and turning toward ourselves when we feel overwhelmed or afraid or stressed or stuck or whatever it is. Stop going outside for the answers. As you know, if you ask ten people a question about how to guide you in your life, you’ll get ten different responses. We know that when we turn inside of ourselves, that’s where all of our truth is.

 
Mindset Mojo 2: Slow Down Reflect Regularly on Facts and Stats. (Think Like A CEO)
Learn how to slow down, go inside, meditation, journaling, all of these things take us inside. Spending some time in quiet and getting present. Set up daily habits where we are doing that every single day. If we don’t do this Or else we are looking outside of ourselves, which creates more overwhelmed and more stress.
 
It’s just pressing pause and thinking,
“You know what? What’s important to me now?
You have to have a strong enough why. 
What are you trying to accomplish?

Are you trying to accomplish living with less stress?
Are you trying to accomplish living with less overwhelmed?
Losing weight, getting in better shape.

We are so wise, but if we go outside of ourselves we can’t feel the true intuition. We are not going to find the answers. We’ve got to connect inside and find out what our why is. 
 
 
Mindset Mojo 3: Where’s your attention pointed?
When we know what we are pointing toward, then we can line up our day toward that goal. So many of us don’t even take a pause to find out what we want to do.
When we can pause, then we can tune into our internal guidance system.
