I'm not too fond of this word.
Are you bit over the whole conversation around mindset?
Hello friends,
I'm a bit over the whole conversation around mindset.
But back to the mindset conversation.
Many people believe that life's biggest challenges - not enough money, eating unhealthy foods, achieving business success, getting enough exercise - can be solved by "changing your mindset."
As if changing your thoughts were as easy as changing the colour of your living room.
It's far more complicated than that. Our thoughts are often hijacked and operating through past trauma, our attachment wounds and our limited access to change said traumas.
When I hear someone suggest you can "just change your mindset," I wish I could tell them that the way to change your brain (forever!) is to heal with non-ordinary states like microdosing or Breathwork.
And as a former believer in the oppression of changing your mindset through toxic positivity protocols, I am sorry if you fell into that trap. The foundation of your thoughts is programmed at the epigenetic level and inherits ancestral patterns. We are so familiar with our darkness that it takes some emotional excavation to uncover and understand the depth of these molecular bookmarks.
Change is difficult, subtle work.
With microdosing, you can gain at least some insight and other more positive ways to heal your shadow and begin connecting with those lost parts.
Every time you microdose, you're changing your brain. You're creating new neural pathways for your brain to travel along, i.e. not just CREATING NEW THOUGHTS but creating an opportunity to heal, i.e. "breaking the cycle."
If you're maxed out on hearing people tell you you need to change your mindset, then maybe it's time to take action in a way that changes your brain. Izzie Rose started microdosing after the February 4 Masterclass, and this is the experience shared after just 3 weeks:
"Microdosing update: I started making sure to take them 3 days on, 2 off. Since that, I've quit smoking weed (I've been smoking every day for 10 years), I was weaning off of nicotine, and I no longer feel the need to vape. I started reading again - I haven't been able to read since before my trauma - I started drawing in a meditative way. I've stopped binge eating at night. I've been heavily diving into my CPTSD + ADHD coping/healing, even though it makes me insanely uncomfortable and heavy-hearted. I'm also feeling the urge to play the piano keyboard that I loved as a kid!! Just thought I'd share". -Izzie Rose.
Observing these changes and sustainably integrating them into life is the work being done
Ps. I talk about Breathwork A LOT. Most people haven't tried it!
