Consider the past year; it’s been a tough one for all of us. Yet, against all odds, it’s possible to foster a positive mindset that primes us for better times ahead. Today, I bring you the uplifting perspective of seasoned dancer and cheerleader for a healthier lifestyle, Molly Harmony. She’s the brains behind ‘Extend Grace,’ a course accessible via HealthMax.com, that encourages us to discover our strength and self-confidence while adopting an overall positive attitude.

Molly Harmony is a beacon of motivation. Her fondness for dance and movement traces back to her years as a young girl. For her, empowering others to embrace a more active lifestyle boosts her mood and gives her life a purpose. Determined to communicate the multitude of benefits that fluid movement offers the body, mind, and soul, she started teaching dance at the mere age of 12. ‘Witnessing women worldwide discover a newfound level of confidence and strength remains an unparalleled joy for me,’ Molly said.

Here are some of Molly’s tips for nurturing a happier mindset.

1. Eradicate Negative Self-Talk

Molly champions abolishing negative self-talk, emphasizing that with just a pinch of effort, one can replace pessimistic thoughts with optimistic ones. Rather than doubting your abilities, Molly encourages you to be your own cheerleader, constantly reminding yourself of your capabilities and worth.

2. Energize Yourself with a Pep Talk

Molly believes in the power of words—specifically, those that inspire and resonate with you. According to her, it’s important to remind oneself that personal goals are achievable. Molly herself uses an app called ‘Boost Up’ to concoct self-motivating pep-talks.

3. Break It Down

Aspirations can sometimes appear frighteningly enormous. To combat feeling overwhelmed, Molly suggests breaking down these aspirations into manageable tasks. Completing these smaller tasks and realizing that you’re making progress towards your goal can be both motivating and satisfying.

4. Keep the Positivity Flowing

Everyone hits a slump from time to time, and negative thoughts can creep in without warning. To counter this, Molly suggests being prepared. Write down your positive thoughts or messages and keep them where you’re sure to see them—on your phone, on your desk, or anywhere else accessible.

5. Discover Your Passion

For Molly, movement and dance is not only a form of exercise but also a meaningful way to communicate and let off steam. Dancing, whether at a class or in your living room, might also work for you!

To wrap it up, don’t just exercise for the perfect body contour, make it about the discovery of strength, embracing your power, and cultivating a healthy long-term relationship with movement.
