Health Tip
Let’s talk about reigniting your passion for life!! For this, we talk about The 4 C’s:
CONNECT
Life is about connecting with yourself and others. The relationships we form help us move from our heads to our hearts. When we are struggling, recoiling and pulling back rarely bring joy. Engage with people who will help you rise and challenge your growth!
CREATE
Baking! Art! Solving problems! Get creative with your ideas! Take the same activity you were going to do, but then ask yourself if you can make it more fun and interesting! Take an idea or action and evolve it!
CLEAR
It’s important that you’re continually checking in with yourself and clearing out anything that’s no longer serving you.
“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.”
~ Robert Tew
Those things could include old beliefs, habits, people, activities, etc. Clear up and clean up your world.
CONTRIBUTE
Consider contribution as not just money. Sometimes it is as simple as bringing joy to a room you enter. Maybe helping another person find their smile. Contribute to this world by making it a better place through your love.

- Many of you are now lifting heavier than you ever have before! We are so proud of your progression! As you get higher into certain movements like the deadlift, grip strength can be an issue. We have ordered a couple wrist straps for people to try in the coming weeks but if you would prefer to have your own, check the link above!
The article referenced this
study/review and many others which looked at the question of whether weight loss should be at the center for the focus. It was found that working on your fitness more than weight loss was the greatest benefit for overall health and a longer life.
As we all know, a person can do some VERY unhealthy things to achieve certain goals on the scale. That is the main reason we don’t measure weight loss nor focus our approach on this outcome here at Mindset. Our hope for you is to achieve a healthy lifestyle and deeper relationship with yourself!

Health Tip
Did you know you have 5 different types of brain waves? They each have a different purpose and correlate to varying aspects of your physiology. Here is a quick
summary:
- Delta brain waves are the slowest brain waves. They are generated in deep meditation and dreamless sleep. Healing and regeneration occur when the brain is in this state.
- Theta waves also occur in sleep and during relaxation. They are indicative of an inner focus, and dreams and vivid imagery occur in this state.
- Alpha waves occur during quiet, thoughtful times. Alpha waves indicate that the brain is in a resting state.
- Beta waves are the most common pattern in the normal waking state. They occur when one is alert and focused on problem solving.
- Gamma brain waves are the fastest and are associated with higher levels of consciousness.
Try out these links to see if adding specific brain wave music changes your day:
