Introduction
Hello everyone! This is Chris Deavin, and this is Where the Mind Goes, the Body Follows: The Power of Mindset on Health,
a course from Scribd Coach. Thank you for joining me. I’m excited to go over how to create a healthy mindset with you.
Throughout this course, I want you to remember one important piece of advice: What you focus on is what you get. If you believe life is good and things are going well, your mind will pick up on information that supports that and vice versa. If you only focus on the negative, then your mind will only see the negative too.
Some people call it the power of positive thinking. They have seen amazing results once they shifted their mindset to think more positively. Others are more skeptical. They see it as a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, but once you take a look at the science behind the concept, it starts to make a lot of sense.
Each of us has an estimated 2 million pieces of information coming into our minds every second. I want you to take a minute to pause and just listen to your surroundings. Pause the course. Spend a minute, thirty seconds, whatever you can to just stop and listen. What do you hear? Do you hear all the sounds around you?
They’ve always been there. Your brain was just filtering them out from your consciousness, which helped you focus on what was important at the time. You’ve become accustomed to tuning out the noise. Until I directed you to focus on them, you weren’t consciously aware of the sounds.
This phenomenon is caused by the Reticular Activating System, which is in your hypothalamus. That part of your brain acts as a filter so you can focus your attention on one thing. It identifies the information that relates to what you’re focusing on and helps you get rid of the rest.
So you may be wondering why this matters for this course? If you see yourself as unhealthy, then you will find information that supports that. If you believe you can’t be fit and you come across temptation, you’ll give in.

Stephen Covey shares the importance
