Healthy Mind-Set
I have this quote from Kathy Coover (co-founder of Isagenix) on the pin board above my desk:
In the years I’ve been coaching people on the Isagenix products, I’ve definitely seen this to be true. I know the products work. I hear feedback daily from people who are having overwhelming success. I have my own good health as proof. There is no deficiency when it comes to Isagenix products. So why do some people succeed in reaching their health goals, while others fail?
This past year I’ve had the experience of coaching my husband, who has successfully lost over 100 pounds. Living with the person I’m coaching gave me a whole new insight into the process. What I witnessed with Mike is that getting the product into your body every day is the easy part. It didn’t matter that he didn’t follow the 30 day protocol religiously. What I discovered was that a positive mind-set is as big a part of transforming your health as improving your nutrition.
Here are a few of the qualities that I witnessed in Mike that I believe are key to his amazing success, beyond just consuming Isagenix products every day:
1. Commitment – he is thoroughly committed to improving and maintaining good health. He doesn’t waver. He doesn’t make excuses. He’s playing at 100% ALL IN! He doesn’t just talk about it, he DOES it. His motto: “suit up and show up”
2. Vision – he has a vision for what he wants to achieve and he hasn’t lost sight of it. When he is faced with temptation he is able to recognize what will and what will not lead him forward towards his goals. His focus is on gaining health (positive), not losing weight (negative). We don’t own a scale and weigh ins only took place periodically.
3. Willingness to Change – he has an open mind and is receptive to coaching. He has accepted new ideas about healthy eating. He takes a more active role in food preparation and has learned how to snack healthy and try new recipes. He is prepared with healthy options every time he leaves the house. He is eating more consciously – recognizing when he’s full, eating when he’s truly hungry and not out of habit.
4. Balance – he still eats the food he loves, just less of it. He doesn’t view this is a diet so nothing is off limits but this is where #2 comes into play. He recognizes that the key is moderation, not deprivation. He has created space in his life to make daily exercise a priority.
5. Transparency – he has been totally open and honest about his circumstances. He has shared his intentions and goals with friends and family. Putting it all out there provides an aspect of accountability that helps stay on target.
6. Gratitude – he expresses his gratitude out loud every single day. He is thankful for the ability to move easily, to be free of discomfort. He is thankful for restful sleep and abundant energy. He is thankful for Isagenix, for plentiful healthy food and good meals shared. He is grateful to be happy.
If you’re taking Isagenix and not getting the results you want, I urge you to consider taking a closer look at your mind-set and see where you can make some adjustments to move you towards success.
In good health,
