Physical and Mental Newsletter

Good Morning.

📩 Your weekly reminder: your mind and body are your greatest assets—treat them like it.

🧠 The Science Behind Mindset & Performance

Ever wonder why some people seem to excel effortlessly while others struggle, even when they have the same skills or opportunities? The difference often comes down to mindset.

Your mindset influences how you handle challenges, setbacks, and opportunities—not just in fitness but in career, relationships, and overall wellbeing. Research has shown that the way we think directly impacts our motivation, resilience, and long-term success.

🛠 The Two Types of Mindset

Stanford psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck introduced the concepts of fixed mindset vs. growth mindset:

🔴 Fixed Mindset:

• Believes abilities and intelligence are static.

• Avoids challenges due to fear of failure.

• Gives up easily when facing setbacks.

🟢 Growth Mindset:

• Believes abilities can be developed through effort.

• Embraces challenges as opportunities to learn.

• Uses failures as feedback for improvement.

People with a growth mindset tend to be higher achievers in sports, business, and life. They view struggles as part of the journey rather than signs of defeat.

🚀 Key Mental Strategies Used by High Performers

✅ Visualisation – Before tackling a big goal, high performers mentally rehearse success. Whether it’s an athlete picturing a perfect game or an entrepreneur envisioning a deal, seeing success before it happens makes a difference.

✅ Positive Self-Talk – The words you say to yourself matter. Swapping “I can’t” for “I’m learning how to” shifts your approach to challenges.

✅ Resilience Training – Setbacks aren’t roadblocks—they’re stepping stones. The most successful people reframe failure as data to help them improve.

✅ The Power of ‘Yet’ – Instead of saying, “I’m not good at this,” try “I’m not good at this yet.” Adding ‘yet’ to your thoughts reinforces a growth mindset and keeps you moving forward.

✅ Routine & Habits – High performers create non-negotiable daily habits that align with their goals. Small, consistent actions lead to big results over time.

📝 ICYMI (In Case You Missed It)

Last week, we talked all things Mental Health—how it’s not just about surviving tough times, but proactively building mental strength and resilience.

💬 From Breaking The Stigma to showing up for ourselves and our families/friends, it's a reminder that mental wellbeing deserves a permanent spot in the wellness conversation—not just in October (Australia) or May (USA), but all year round.

👉 Take a moment to check in with yourself—and someone else. 

Small conversations = big impact.
