Welcome back to the Fitlandia Podcast as we launch one more holiday episode for you to get you pumped and excited to make a healthy permanent lifestyle change before the new year arrives!
We encourage you to harness the opportunity of the new year to launch you into the healthiest you possible. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or even just a little confused on where to start, this is the Mind Zoning® for you. For further encouragement and community to back you up every step of the way as you kick start your health journey, make sure you check out Christa’s nutrition and mindset program, 30 Days to Thriving as we launch January 2nd!
As with every Mind Zoning® session, it’s important to sit and lay back into a comfortable position and close your eyes.
Wherever you are let your body be fully supported
This is your time to release
To relax
To grow the desire to make a permanent lifestyle change
First, bring your awareness to the top of your head
Notice that you can release and relax
Your scalp
Letting go of any tension in your forehead
In your eyes
And cheeks
Letting your jaw be soft
Imagine that relaxation continuing down the back of your neck
Over your shoulders
Letting go of any tension from the day
Giving yourself permission
For just a few minutes
To truly relax
And embrace a new mindset
Continuing to release any tension in the arms
Or elbows
In the wrists
All the way down to your fingertips
Drawing attention to your chest
The rise and the fall
From inhaling
And exhaling
Releasing any tension in your belly
Letting it be soft
As you find a nice beautiful rhythm in your breath
Continuing that relaxation in your hips
Being fully supported
Through your thighs
Letting your knees relax and be soft
Through your calves
Your ankles
All the way down to your toes
Just imagine as relaxed as you are right now
You can become even 10x more relaxed
Just imagine this beautiful imaginary wave
Cascading over the top of your head
Covering your body, head to toe
Just surrounding you in relaxation
And calm
And peace
Allowing your mind to be wide open like a clear blue sky
Full of potential
Full of possibility
With a deep knowing
That anything is possible
When you engage the deepest part of your mind
And you can access that right now
Think now for a moment
What is it that you would like to change about your lifestyle?
Mentally list of everything that you’d like to change
With full possibility
If you had all the tools
Had all the resources to be successful
How would your lifestyle change?
Truthfully answer the question
What is stopping you?
Maybe you’re afraid to let go
Of a reliance
On sugar
Or alcohol
Maybe food has been a mechanism for self-soothing?
And you’re not sure what can replace that
Maybe you’re overwhelmed with your schedule
And can’t imagine fitting in one more thing
I want to assure you in this moment
That you fold the power in your mind today
To overcome any obstacle
It first starts by growing the desire to change
Imagine now
There’s a tiny seed deep in your mind
That we’re planting today
As that tiny seed is planted
Just like a plant
You can nurture it with water and food to help it grow
And you can best do that with positive thoughts
And as you listen to the words I share
Focus your attention
Visualizing that small seed deep in your mind
Knowing just like a plant with every positive affirmation
Its easy to make time for exercise
You can learn to enjoy cooking
You can find a dietary plan that’s perfect for your body and lifestyle
Just imagine that seed is growing into a plant
With the stems sprouting throughout
The leaves starting to bud
As it gets bigger with your mind with every affirmation
I am worthy of a healthy body
I deserve to put myself first
I am good at setting boundaries
Now notice how your plant is getting bigger
And taller
More leaves begin to fill your mind
This vibrancy and vitality grow with every affirmation
It’s nurturing that seed
Developing it into a strong plant
Roots that extend to every part of your mind
I look forward to daily movement
I love getting inspiration from my fitness tribe
I am successful at achieving any goal I can imagine for myself
And now imagine this plant that started as a seed
With every affirmation, grew its stems
Filling your mind with strong roots reaching out
Getting stronger and stronger
And you notice this desire is growing in you to make a change
Think about one small thing you can do today
That would tell you, “yes I am going in the right direction”
Commit to one thing today
That will serve your goal in growing the desire to make a healthy lifestyle
In a moment, we will come back
But for now, just imagine this beautiful, strong plant
A seed that we have planted
That you can cultivate and nurture and grow in your mind everyday
That only furthers your ability
And desire to change
You have everything within you that you need
Engaging the power of your mind
You may notice in the next couple days
That you have a desire to listen to this session again
And further grow that plant
In your mind
Growing the desire
To make a lifestyle change
Connecting deeply with all the physical benefits
All the emotional benefits
All the spiritual benefits
And the mental benefits that you will gain
By making a permanent lifestyle change
And that just continues to nourish the plant
Growing your desire everyday
When you’re ready take one last deep breath in
Locking in all of this amazing energy
Taking it with you for the rest of your day
Into your sleep
And when you’re ready you can open your eyes
Take a deep breath
Begin moving around
Allow the relaxation to take you into your day or night
Leaving this session feeling calm
And excited
For the potential of what’s to come
We hope you all this use this technique, every day, as we welcome in the new year and all the new opportunities to cultivate permanent, healthy lifestyles! As we foster that desire to become healthy, we will create a thought pattern that it’s easy and fun and attainable.
