Welcome to this quick mindset reset , these quick and short episodes on the podcast where I share some profound learnings that I've experienced in my life . Either that , like , yeah , came through a meditation or through an experience with somebody else , and hopefully this brings value to you and helps you see things a little bit differently , helps you have that little mindset reset . But this particular learning came from a young child I think she's maybe like 10 or 11 years old , and I work with students in the afternoon , students that have learning disabilities or attention or hyperactivity situations in their life where it prevents them from really fully integrating in school , really fully integrating into the life experience . That is where we are now In the afternoons I do that with a company called Brain Balance , which I love . There's a lot of physical activity that we get these kids to do , because there's a lot of research that's showing that a child's core strength can be related to some of our eye pattern movements and our ability to track with our eyes , our ability to read and follow the lines and then track back to the following lines . There's a lot of really cool research through this company , brain Balance , and that is showing a lot of the physical stuff , the physical strength , can affect other areas of students' lives when it comes to learning and things like that .

Switching Mindsets with a 10-Year-Old

Lunden Souza 3:48

I had a student and we do a lot of exercises for the core , like stomach core , back core , side core and there was one student I was working with and she's really strong and she's getting up to some of those higher levels on core and she was getting ready to hold a side plank for kind of a long time about a minute and she goes oh , I never can hold it for this long and I was like well , if you say that , before we go into this side plank , what do you think you're going to do ? Do you think you're going to hold it for that long , or do you think you're not going to hold it for that long and you could see her kind of eyes move around and her processing a little bit . And I go let's switch that mindset . Like what are you going to switch it to ? You know I can never do this . And she switched it to . I go what are you going to switch it to ? And she goes , I switched it to , I never give up .

Lunden Souza 4:38

And lo and behold , she held the side plank for one minute on both sides , which before I think she had only gotten to maybe like 30 , 32 seconds , something like that . So this was a very significant moment of learning for her and I just remember sitting there and having that moment and thinking , oh , I have to share this on the podcast because this is so important and so helpful . You know I hesitate to use universal quantifiers , like "always and never and all of that , but I just really appreciated her brain and her mindset when it came to switching from this one version of never right , I can never hold it the entire duration to I never give up . And I just thought that was really beautiful and she just , yeah , I think it's so cool to . I love spending time with kids and you learn so much from their brilliant brains , their curious brains and that was such a huge learning for me , something I'll probably keep with me forever and she , you could tell it resonated

The Strength in Never Giving Up

Lunden Souza 5:43

with her too .

Lunden Souza 5:43

I was like , see , when you switched your mindset and you decided that "never was going to mean you never give up , look how strong your side plank was . Like, look how sturdy you were , look how still and strong you were . You know and for those of you that exercise or you know , you know how planks are it's like an isometric exercise , so you're not moving . Isometric is just like an exercise where you hold it right . But if any of you have ever done a plank , even for a minute , it can be really challenging and it can be . Yeah , you'll start to get the trembles , your core will start to shake , your body will start to shake , but you still can do it . And each second that you hold it a little bit longer , you're getting stronger . And so , yeah , maybe that

Your Inner Dialogue Challenge

Lunden Souza 6:29

speaks to you today .

Lunden Souza 6:29

Maybe there's a moment or a phrase that you find yourself repeating to yourself that has "never like , oh , I'll never get this job , or I'll never . You know , whatever that might be , fill in the blank of what you might be telling yourself , and maybe you can switch that to I never give up . You know the way that she said that was really helpful . And , of course , you know if we really dig deep into words , there might be moments where it's time to like , okay , no , I'm going to give up on that and transition into this right whatever , but like when it comes to exercise , instead of saying "kay , I can never do this , and instead changing that to "I never give up . That can be really powerful , and so I challenge you to look at your inner dialogue this week and think about what things you put limits on with your words . Right , maybe there's something I never fill in the blank , whatever that might be for you and ho w can you flip that to "I never give up , and I want to hear about it , because it's always helpful when you share .

Lunden Souza 7:29

So you can share it with me , either by replying to any of my emails I send out to you . If you're on my newsletter list , you can just hit reply all the replies go to me , and if not , you can . Or if you don't want to do email , you can hit me up on Instagram in the DMs . I'm @lifelikelunden , and you can send me a DM and be like "hey , Lunden , I listened to your QMR episode about never giving up and here's how it spoke to me . " I think it's always nice to share those learnings and express those learnings and get them out into the world , because sometimes it can be easy to like , listen to a podcast and you know , have a learning or whatever , but then you don't share it with anybody , you don't write it down , you don't reflect on it and then later on you forget it right ? So I don't want you to forget any of the aha moments you've had from today's quick mindset reset . Go ahead and hit reply to any of those emails or send me a message on Instagram @lifelikel unden , I would love to hear from you . And that's it for today's quick mindset reset . Have a beautiful day . See you at the next episode . Bye , hey
