Creating a Mindset To Overcome Thyroid Conditions

A big part of turning your health around and being able to reverse your thyroid condition comes from having the right mindset.

So much of health is all about habits and actions, but where do these all stem from? What if we don’t have to make as many changes as we think we do? What if there was one powerful thing that makes a lot of difference?

That thing is mindset.

Mindset is sometimes called “the story we tell ourselves.” It’s our attitude toward things in our life. And we have control over our mindset.

And research is showing that it may be far more powerful than we thought.

Very interesting health mindset study

Here’s a quick story about a fascinating study.

Researchers at Stanford University looked at a bunch of people’s health and wellness lifestyle habits, as well as health markers.

What they found was that the people who thought they were a lot less active had a higher risk of death than the general public. And, they also had up to 71% higher risk of death than people who thought they were more active. Even if they actually weren’t less active!

How is this even possible that people who simply thought they were less active had higher risks, even if it wasn’t true?

There are a couple of ideas why. One is that maybe if we feel like we’re less active, it may make us feel more stressed. And stress isn’t good for our mental or physical health. Second, there may be a bit of a mind-body connection where the body embodies what the mind visualizes.

Researchers don’t know why, but what matters is that there is a good mindset. So, let me give you a couple of strategies to boost your mindset for health.

Health mindset strategy 1 – Believe that you can reverse your thyroid condition

You have to stop the negative beliefs that you can’t lose weight, grow your hair back, will always have digestive issues, brain fog, anxiety, depression, etc. due to your thyroid condition.

Believing that you can reverse your thyroid condition is the first step in actually achieving your results.

Be aware of what you say to yourself and other people, as well. Start to speak positively about your health and watch how fast your health starts to transform.

Health mindset strategy 2 – Use meditation and visulaization

Meditation has been shown in research to change your brain. It will create new neural pathways that will help you to reach goals that you want to reach.

Visualization is another great tool to help you reach your goals. Each day, take five minutes to see yourself as you want to be. If you have a goal of losing weight, picture yourself at that weight. If you want more energy, picture yourself doing the things you like to do with lots of energy.

Conclusion

Mindset for health can be a powerful tool for better physical health. There’s a proven mind-body connection that research can measure.

Use tools like meditation and visualization to reverse your thyroid condition.
