Welcome back to the Fitlandia Podcast! Today, Christa treats us with a Mind Zoning® session to help us tackle that “setback bug” once again. As we talked about previously with DeShawn Fontleroy, of Sports Mastery during Episode 45, slip ups are sometimes unavoidable, but becoming aware of the behavior and the reason for why you fell back into an old pattern is crucial. Harnessing the power of your mind through Mind Zoning® and working to forgive yourself helps you quickly recover from a setback so you can continue to move forward towards your goal. Whether you missed a workout or a handful of workouts, gave into those cravings or simply stayed in bed too long and didn’t have the productive day you’d planned, this Mind Zoning® session will help you get back on track, every time.
While allowing your eyes to close, take three deep breaths in and slowly exhale out
Clear away any worry, frustration or busyness from the day
Be at peace in this moment
Tap into that deep knowing of your mind, the beautiful part of you, that knows how to forgive yourself
That knows that in every experience, even the negative ones, there are
insights to be gained and lessons to be learned
In this moment, we are focused on recovering from a setback
Invite the mind to recall a recent setback where it didn’t feel like it was on its path to achieving its goals
Maybe binge eating?
Missing a workout?
Falling back into an old pattern?
Well, you are here today
Call at this time to reengage the mind and move forward in your goals
It’s all about forgiveness and understanding
Reflect on what triggered that event or the old pattern
What allowed you to miss a workout or choose a food that you later regretted?
Reflect on that time
Visualize yourself moving forward
Knowing that was a temporary moment in time
But you’re here now
With everything within you to continue to move forward
You never again have to let a setback take you back to an old pattern
You can trust that you have a deeper desire
A wonderful plan for your mind, body and soul
The growth you’re doing, the fitness that you’re developing in your soul, in your mind and in your body
You can continue to move forward quickly and easily
Recovering from a setback like never before
Honoring what it was and releasing any shame or guilt in this moment
Let it be carried away as if a cloud was absorbing it and moving it further away from you
Honor the essence of who you are
That person who is moving forward
And anytime you need a reminder to release the shame or feel you’ve had a set back
Come back to this meditation
So, you can recover quickly and easily
And continue to give yourself permission to move forward
Seal it with one last deep breath and come back to the time and space of this beautiful day
Feel the awareness you have and the excitement to keep moving forward in your journey
You have everything in you to be successful
