THE WELLNESS UPDATE
Transform Your Wellness Journey with a Growth Mindset
When striving to better our health and wellness, mindset can truly make all the difference. What’s known as a growth mindset is one way of thinking that can boost your resilience, reduce stress and anxiety associated with setbacks, and increase your overall likelihood of success. Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, eat better, or find more balance in life, a growth mindset can help.
So, what exactly is a growth mindset, and how can you harness its power to transform your health and wellness journey? In simple terms, it's the belief that your abilities and qualities can be developed through dedication and learning. People with a growth mindset see challenges as opportunities for growth and embrace the process of learning and improving. This resilience allows them to stay motivated and focused on their goals, even when faced with setbacks. This contrasts with a fixed mindset, where individuals believe that their abilities are fixed traits that cannot be changed.

Comparing foods can be fun and provide education and direction! Whole wheat is always a prime option when it comes to eating more nutritiously while still enjoying familiar pasta favorites. Veggie noodles are another great option to include more vegetables in your diet. Aim to provide your body with as many vitamins, minerals, and nutrients when comparing foods.
Tip: combine a ½ cup of two kinds! If using ½ veggie noodles with whole wheat or white pasta, add the veggie noodles to the pot of boiling water when your pasta will be ready in 5-6 minutes. Drain the water and enjoy with a ½ cup of your favorite sauce and baked chicken or turkey meatballs. Voila!
