00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:18.960
Hey everybody, I'm coming over to you with an another microcast episode of ICare Leadership Live.
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:28.559
And I'm really loving doing these microcasts because they can be very content-rich and they're very short, and you can get on with your day.
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.719
And it gives an opportunity for me to share some things that have been on my mind.
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.520
And one of those things has to do with mindset.
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:44.000
I am a big believer that your mindset can mean the difference between success and failure.
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:49.759
And we all have, you know, days where our mindset is not as good as others.
00:00:50.320 --> 00:01:02.719
And if we can have fewer of those not great days and make our good days even better, then we are going to be so much farther along.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.560
And we're going to be better at work and we're going to be better at home.
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.400
And so, how do we have the good days?
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:20.480
If you're not doing it already, it's really important to get some kind of physical movement every day if you can.
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:29.280
That is the body's natural method of fixing your mindset, of fixing your outlook.
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:35.760
Uh, by moving your body, you can completely change the way you you're looking at your day.
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.280
And so make time for that.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.319
And it could be like a little walk, walk around the clinic.
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.560
It could be, you know, go downstairs and walk around the block.
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:51.040
Breathe the air, enjoy the sun, enjoy the weather, notice what's going on around you.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:58.159
Notice that the world doesn't revolve around you, and that your problems are very small in comparison.
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.959
That's something that helps me tremendously.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:09.360
And just the endorphins and the chemicals you know flowing through your brain that happen when you work hard are incredibly useful.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.319
Also, make sure you're resting.
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.120
Figure out how to get a good night's sleep.
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.439
Keep the screens away from the bed.
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:19.199
Wind yourself down.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.319
Turn the lights off.
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:21.680
Turn the lights down low.
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:27.840
Get a nice lamp when it's getting closer to bedtime, and turn off those bright overhead lights.
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.319
Uh that's gonna help your sleep.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.439
And not working until the last minute.
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.360
Get the laptop out of the bed.
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:37.199
I'm not gonna say I'm perfect with that.
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:48.080
There are days that are incredibly busy where you know I will work uh late and I'll bring the computer into the bed, but those are also nights when I don't always get the best sleep.
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.280
And if you need a supplement, uh there's some really helpful supplements.
00:02:53.439 --> 00:03:10.319
Um, I've been taking theanine on a regular basis at night and magnesium glycinate, and those two things together have been very impactful for better falling asleep faster and staying asleep.
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:20.479
I would highly recommend you research those and uh talk to your medical practitioner about possibly using them or something similar.
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.680
I am right now sitting on my desk and I'm looking at a whole bunch of note cards that are by my desk.
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:28.719
And why am I doing that?
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:36.080
Because a lot of these note cards have to do with things that I'm trying to remind myself about my mindset.
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.159
Do not think negative thoughts.
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.000
I don't live in regret.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.879
I have one of my biggest mantras right now in my life, in my career, is this is I can do it.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.240
I can do this.
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.240
And I have different variations on that theme.
00:03:52.560 --> 00:04:06.479
But the the thing about these mantras and these note cards and these things that we that we need to remind ourselves of is there are true things that you forget.
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:12.400
You know, you forget that you're capable, you forget that you're an awesome mom.
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.079
You forget that you've done a lot of great things in your life.
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.120
It's very easy for us to forget those things.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:24.480
And what those things are for you, I don't know.
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:32.720
But figure out what those things are that you forget and put them right there in front of your desk.
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.360
Maybe it's that you need to be reminded that your family loves you.
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:41.839
Maybe you need to be reminded that you are not your productivity.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.560
Uh maybe you need to be reminded that of what your why is.
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.839
Why are you doing this hard stuff?
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:57.839
And so have that right there, uh, right there by the desk.
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.759
So you're it's always in your face.
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.160
And take a moment to reflect on that.
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.519
Close your eyes and and repeat that mantra and really let that sink in.
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:11.360
That's so key, so helpful for your mindset because we do forget.
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:13.519
We forget those things.
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.519
I think those are those are some powerful things.
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.680
I think I think I can leave you with that right now.
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.480
And this is about I, yeah, this is iCare Leadership Live, but to be a leader of others, you have to lead yourself.
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.959
And to me, leading yourself starts with having the right mindset.
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.040
And so that's why I'm talking about that.
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.519
So hopefully, hopefully that was useful to you.
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:42.560
Share this episode with someone that you think would enjoy it.
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.959
And I look forward to another episode of ICare Leadership Live.
