🧠3 Ways to Uplevel Your Mindset

May 16, 2024

Welcome back to "The Microdose Diet" newsletter, your trusted source for achieving success, passion, and happiness in life and career through alternative medicines like microdosing psychedelics. 🍄

Are you tired of hearing that all you need to do to transform your life is to change your mindset? I certainly was before I created The Microdose Diet. Actually that is why I created The Microdose Diet.

It's a common refrain in the personal and professional development world – just think you are “it” already and everything will magically fall into place. But if you've ever tried to flip the switch on your mindset, you know it's not always that simple.

Here's the thing: mindset isn't just about your thoughts. It's about the entire belief system that shapes how you perceive and interact with the world around you. It's the lens through which you view life – including your emotions, feelings, soul, energy, and even your unconscious mind, which silently pulls the strings behind the scenes. As Carl Jung famously said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it Fate."

Now considering that the mind is only a portion of who we are, and that the conscious mind itself is the tip of the iceberg when compared to the unconscious mind it is no wonder that your mindset work focusing on the conscious mind has seen moderate results at best.

So, where does that leave us with traditional mindset work? Well, let's be honest – it often falls short of delivering real, tangible results. How many times have you been told to "just be more confident" or "just stay positive" without any concrete guidance on how to actually make that happen?

The truth is, simply telling someone to "think positive" or "be more confident" is like slapping a band-aid on a gaping wound – it might provide temporary relief, but it doesn't address the underlying issues.

For many people, trying to change their mindset feels like trying to turn a cruise ship with a paddle – it's slow, frustrating, and often ineffective. And let's not forget the guilt and shame that can come from feeling like you're not "positive" or "confident" enough, despite your best efforts.

Now that we have established that traditional approaches focusing on the conscious mind alone don’t yield great results, what do you do?

✅From Incomplete to Holistic

First acknowledge that you will need a holistic approach encompassing your unconscious and conscious minds, your body, your emotions, and your energy in order to really see long-lasting successful transformational results.

✅From One to Many

Second, this means that you will have to use a combination of tools. It is indeed rational that the tools used to reprogram and upgrade your subconscious mind will likely be different than the ones used for the same purpose for your conscious mind, your body / feelings, your emotions and your energy.

✅From Traditional to Innovative

Third, this also means that you are likely going to look at different ways of generating changes than the ones that have been touted for close to a century by personal and professional development gurus.

That's where The Microdose Diet comes in – an innovative approach to personal and professional development that's as refreshing as it is effective. Created out of a burning desire to break free from the endless loop of generic affirmations and empty promises, the Microdose Diet offers a practical, actionable roadmap to transform your mindset and your life.

💯Comprehensive Approach

At the core of The Microdose Diet lies the triumvirate of mind-body-emotions – a foundational framework that sets it apart from conventional approaches. Recognizing that true growth requires addressing all facets of human experience, the Microdose Diet serves as a precursor to any journey of self-improvement.

So, what's the deal with this triumvirate of mind-body-emotions, you ask? Well, it's basically the secret sauce behind The Microdose Diet. Instead of just focusing on positive thinking or hitting the gym, you're digging deep into your unconscious beliefs, calming your nervous system, and healing those emotional wounds that have been holding you back.

The Microdose Diet emphasizes the need to unearth and reprogram unconscious beliefs. By dismantling deeply ingrained narratives and aligning subconscious beliefs with conscious goals, you pave the way for genuine, sustainable change.

Moreover, The Microdose Diet pays homage to the profound interplay between mind and body, acknowledging the intricate web of connections that shape our well-being. Through techniques aimed at calming the nervous system and fostering mind-body harmony, participants unlock new levels of agency and resilience. Coupled with a dedicated effort to heal emotional wounds – both past and present – The Microdose Diet offers a comprehensive roadmap to lasting transformation. By embracing the triumvirate of mind-body-emotions, you not only unlock your full potential but also cultivate a life of profound fulfillment and authenticity.

🧰Best Tools in the Toolkit

Traditional personal development tools often fall short because they're too one-dimensional. Think meditation, affirmations, or hypnosis – great on their own, but they're like trying to win a tennis match with just one type of training. To truly experience success, you need a multi-pronged approach to uplevel your conscious mind, your unconscious mind, your nervous system, your feelings, your emotions and your energy. All at the same time!

First, let's talk microdosing psilocybin. Sounds fancy, but it's basically like hitting the reset button on your nervous system. Picture your brain as an overloaded computer – running on overdrive, it's no wonder you're stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode. But with a little microdosing magic, you're calming the chaos and making room for some serious upgrades. Plus, it helps lower those ego barriers, so you can finally tap into your unconscious and rewrite the scripts holding you back.

But wait, there's more. We're talking tapping, journaling, visualization, and guided meditation – the ultimate dream team for rewiring your brain and upgrading your software. It's like giving your entire being a much-needed tune-up. See, mindset work alone just ain't gonna cut it – you need to address the body and emotions too. It's all about creating a symphony of change, where every note works together to unlock your full potential. So buckle up, because with The Microdose Diet, we're rewriting the rulebook on personal transformation – one microdose at a time.

🍄Ready to Take the Plunge?

Feeling stuck in the endless loop of chasing after that elusive perfect mindset? It's time to shake things up with the Microdose Diet. Bid farewell to those empty affirmations and embrace real, tangible progress. Your future self will be grateful for the change.

🧹6 Tips to Spring Cleaning Your Life!

🧹6 Tips to Spring Cleaning Your Life! Rekindle your intention and relaunch into aligned actions

Ah, Spring! The season of rebirth, renewal, and for some strange reason, the irresistible urge to clean everything in sight. But why stop with your cluttered garage or those dust bunnies plotting their next move under your bed?

I wrote in the past about the benefits of cleansing as a way to get unstuck. Clearing is step 0 of any transformation…you have to make space for better things to come and get rid of anything and everything that is not congruent with your vision of success.

Spring is the best time to rekindle your intention and relaunch yourself into aligned actions. To do so, you first have to remove the weeds, and then plant the seeds of your success.

It's now high time you embraced a full-scale Spring Cleaning Extravaganza – mind, body, spirit, emotions, and yes, even that junk drawer that's become a black hole for batteries and unidentified keys. Grab your brooms, and dustpans – you're diving into the ultimate to-do list for a comprehensive spring clean that'll leave you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world (or at least your closet).

😶‍🌫️Mind Detox: Clear Out Those Mental Cobwebs

Let's kick things off with a mental Marie Kondo session. If your thoughts don't spark joy, it's time to thank them for their service and show them the door. Are your limiting beliefs telling you that “You suck”, “You can’t do this”, “You should be better” and so on? Well let’s fire them once and for all! A quick and easy fix is to start by unfollowing the negativity on social media – yes, including that friend who posts nothing but their perfect life (we all know they're lying about enjoying kale). Replace doomscrolling with something uplifting, like cat videos or whatever makes your neurons do the happy dance.

My favorite thing to do before an important chat, such as an interview with The WSJ 😉 is to watch videos from FailArmy. I know I am a terrible person. But for me there is something magical in seeing people sliding on frozen sidewalks, falling from their canoes and getting kicked from devices obviously made for a small child.

Firing your negative beliefs seems easier said than done? Pre-order The Microdose Diet for a holistic protocol to do just that in 90 days!

🛀Body Buff and Shine: Get Moving!

Your body is your temple, so let's do some spring cleaning on the old homestead. Start by dusting off those workout clothes and actually putting them to use. Dance like nobody's watching, jog like you're mildly enthusiastic about it, or just stretch to reach the remote better. Whatever gets you moving! Consider a detox by swapping out one of your daily coffees for, dare I say, water? Your liver and kidneys will throw you a thank-you parade. And don’t forget about those colonics!! Your entire guts will make a happy dance.

For the past few weeks I have been on a no-alcohol, no dairy, no sugar, no wheat detox. Is it life-changing? Absolutely! Now, I only have to choose between 3 ingredients when preparing my meal. Did I lose weight? Barely. Do I feel great about myself? Totally! This diet is probably the most empowering thing I have ever done for myself. You might elect to take Epson salts bath every night. That works too.

🧘Spirit Sprucing: Zen Your Way to Serenity

Your spirit is like that one drawer you shove everything into – it's time to tidy up. Try meditation, but if sitting quietly isn't your thing, meditative activities like knitting, gardening, or even coloring can do wonders. The goal is to find peace, even if it's just five minutes hiding in the bathroom from your kids, pets, or significant other.

Tapping meditation is a magical tool for accessing more serenity and calming the f%#k down. Try this one, it will only take you 5 minutes and it will rock your world. Courtesy of The Microdose Diet Masterclass. ❤️

😭Emotional Deep Clean: It's Okay to Cry Over Spilled Milk

Emotions can get messy. It's time to declutter those feelings you've been storing in the back of your emotional closet. Write a letter to someone who hurt you, then ceremoniously burn it (safely, please – we're cleansing, not summoning the fire department). Laugh, cry, scream into a pillow – let it all out. You'll feel lighter, and your pillow might appreciate the attention.

If your emotions need a bit more of TLC, journaling is a fabulous way to process old stuck 💩.

🧽Physical Cleanse: The Actual Cleaning Part

Yes, we have to talk about actual cleaning (sigh). Make it fun by blasting your favorite tunes or turning it into a workout (squat while you sweep, I read that is what Carrie Underwood did. You know you want these thighs!). Organize that junk drawer, donate clothes you haven't worn in a year, and finally tackle that scary shelf in the fridge. Remember, cleanliness is next to godliness, and who doesn't want to be a deity of detergent?

And remember, anything and everything that is not congruent with your vision needs to go. Yes that includes the old knick-knacks from your mother, the out-of-fashion-too-small clothes, and the books you will never read.

🤓Be Smart About it & Get Help!

The Microdose Diet is your 90 day turnkey guide to refresh, restart, relaunch, reset and get to the next level, YOUR next level. Let it be your sherpa to more success, passion and happiness…it doesn’t have to be difficult, nor complex. Just one step at a time and in 90 days you will be upgraded!

The book is out on May 7th, the masterclass on May 4th, and the Brain Power Microdose is already available…so you don’t have any excuses for not launching into Spring Action!

📋To-Do List Summary

Mind: Unfollow negativity, follow joy.
Body: Move in fun ways, hydrate like you love yourself.
Spirit: Find your zen, wherever it may hide.
Emotions: Let it all out, safely.
Physical: Clean with gusto, dance with a mop.
The Microdose Diet: Your turnkey guide to a better Spring.

This spring, let's commit to cleaning up our act – all facets of it. By summer, you'll be so light, fresh, and clutter-free, you might just float away (or at least feel like it). So here's to dusting off the old and welcoming the new, one laugh and one cleaned shelf at a time. Happy Spring Cleaning!
