Hey friend, welcome to the Restored Mind Podcast, where we are going to be talking about various life topics surrounding mindset transformations. These topics are coming from a faith lens and will propel you into a life of peace and joy. My name is Caroline, wife, mom of three, daughter of the one true king. Host of this podcast and certified light coach through the I am system by Painting Vehicles Incorporations. My hope is that this podcast brings God's light into your life and you break free from the chains that are holding you back. Friend, it is time to shift your mindset into one that will help you flourish. Ready? Let's go. My friends. I am still so excited about the new introduction. I'm listening to it and I'm thinking to myself, wow. A certified life coach, which is an amazing accomplishment for me personally, because it is something that I've been wanting to do for quite some time and put it on hold. and then when the opportunity came, It felt like a huge blessing from the Lord. And so I'm just going to be sharing more with you about my rebranding today. But first before I do that, I want to welcome you. If you are new here, welcome to the restored mind podcast. My name is Caroline. I'm super excited to have you here. I don't know how you stumbled upon my podcast or this episode. But I don't think it was by mistake that you've been here. So I hope this episode. Is enlightening to you that you get to know me more. You've come at a great time to hear me talk about what has been happening with the restored mind. If you are a returning listener, thank you so much that you make the time, week after week to listen in on what it is that I am going to be talking about today. So to recap, last week, we talked about the rebranding of the restorative mind, and I also finished up a mini series on how to keep your new year resolution, or really just keep your goals without quitting. It's about perseverance. It's about having grit. So if you have trouble keeping up with your goals, or really just trying to figure out how you can get started. On not quitting on yourself this year. I highly recommend checking out the last four episodes. It is going to help you tremendously. At least that is my hope. Today though we are going to be diving deeper into the rebranding, and I'm going to be sharing with you why this happened. I feel like I owe you that much. Why did the restore mind go through a rebranding? What has changed? Because I want to be clear on what's happening plus. I don't want to leave you in the dark because that's not cool. I am not that friend. It's just not cool. And then I have an encouraging message that I want to share with you. So that you can keep it in mind while you're working on your goals. That way you don't lose sight of God in the midst of you chasing. Whatever it is that you want to achieve even beyond this year. So we're going to get into the meat and potatoes of why we are talking about the again. And yes, it's because I am super excited about it. So I have to share that excitement with you. Before I dive into the why's though. I want to also point out that there are some things that are going to remain the same. And that is the heart message of the restored mind. which is working towards a mindset transformation from a faith lens. So if you're new here, you're probably asking. What do you mean by that? Can I get some clarification please? And of course you absolutely can. So what I mean by mindset transformation from a faith lens is that we are using. The gospel to shape our thinking so that we can begin to live a life of peace. When that is free from doubt and fear and one that is secure and confident and knowing that we have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus. And we can do all things through him who strengthens us. So yes, you are absolutely correct. If you recognize that saying as a verse from Philippians four 13, it comes straight from the Bible that says. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. This is the heart beat verse of the restored mind. And it is the inspiration for the tagline that I say at the end of every episode, you can do hard things. I am still going to be launching my episodes every Wednesday and I will still have my Facebook group for you to join. If you would like in that group, I share encouraging messages to help you along your week. It's completely free. You don't have to pay anything to be a part of that group. And the only thing that I ask of you is that you answer the questions that you're prompt with when you request to join the group. In the reason why I'm asking you to do that is because it is going to help me create content. That's going to better serve you. And that's the whole reason why I've created this Facebook group to begin with it's for community and also to help encourage you. if you're interested in joining the Facebook group, I'm going to link that in the show notes on this. Episode. So I wanted the restored mind to have a facelift, essentially it started off, honestly, not having a particular brand color or a theme. Where someone who might come across to restore mind, but know that. This is most likely going to be a safe and peaceful space to receive encouragement on where to channel your thoughts of confusion and frustration, or even how to battle your daily struggles and whatever your life looks like. I wanted the restorative mind. To have a firm identity in the space. And I also wanted that for you. Well,'cause, you know, when you're going into a particular store, there is a certain aesthetic or a certain five that they give off. And that is why you continuously. Go back to that store. Well, I wanted that same thing for the restored mine. I wanted you to feel like you were coming over and we were just having a chat. And so this branding has been in my thoughts on and off, I wasn't sure where to take it to be really honest with you, but my friend God is so good that he just led me to it. It was. A very beautiful moment. And when I reflect back on it, I am reminded of the story of Abraham, where God tells him to just leave the land that he knows and go to a place where. God's going to tell him that you're there when you're there. And I feel like that sort of happened to me. Not as dramatic as that, but it definitely was. God prompting me to get a moving on this rebranding. And while I didn't have a clear vision of what it looked like, it felt right that I was moving in that direction. Then one morning, he spoke to me through a friend who encouraged me to take a photo at my desk. And I was in the middle of working on recreating my cover already. So I didn't think that it would actually work out the way that I was hoping it would. So that morning I'm working on it. And I remember. Playing worship music. In the background, it was very soft and very quiet. And so I'm just playing around with the camera. And eventually I landed on the shot that you see today as the cover art of the restored mind. that's when I got a vision of what this re branding would look like. And honestly just came to be. So that moment became the new cover art for the restore mind, because. It was peaceful. And welcoming and there is light. And so the reason why I chose This particular picture was because of the natural light, that came through and the picture and it reminded me of God's light. In the midst of me working through the rebranding process and working on these photos, there was like three different sets of photos that I ended up taking. And I wasn't quite in love with it. I wasn't sure how it was going to play out. Eventually This cover art comes around and it just felt right. This was the one where the Lord is like. This is it. And so I just stuck with it., And so that is why I ended up going with the rebranding of the restored mine. So it feels right as it is today. I love what has come about with the restored mind. so what is new about the rebranding? Well, first, the most obvious one is the color story, because it is no longer burgundy and gold. But now they color story is more refreshing in my opinion. And Honestly, it was just a color story that I picked because. It felt right. It just felt like it was me and it felt authentic and genuine to me. And what I naturally gravitate towards. There's also a new logo. The main logo is the one that's in my Facebook group. So if you haven't joined and you want to. The link to that is going to be in the show notes below. I also shared this last week, but I'm going to share it with you again. I had the honor of working with my best friends Salai on this project. And it was based off of one of the originals that I drew out months ago. I love that she took an idea that I had, which I wasn't quite in love with. And then she ended up taking that idea and creating something out of it without losing the vision of what I was trying to create. I'm going to take a moment and get sidetracked here. What I love about her is that she calls herself a co-creator. Because she partners with God and all of her work. And I've told her this many times before, but I love. How. Peaceful her artwork is I, I feel like she's been so abundantly blessed and the talents and skills that she has when it comes to being creative I just love how her mind works and her thought process through these things. So that's something that I really admire that she calls herself a co-creator she's a graphic designer. And so she came up with the logo and was just amazing. So I know I got completely off topic and sidetrack there, but I just had to share that with you. And so that is what's new on the color story and the logo. And now we're going to dive into the new service that is being provided. Can you believe it? I now offer like coaching. I know I cant. I'm still in shock. Over it. But it is for anyone who wants to have accountability on their mindset, transformation journey. Or maybe someone who is wanting to reach a goal and might be unclear on how you can get there. I would love to help you along your journey and help you become the version of you that you've been wanting to be. Now, I know this is a faith based podcast, but my friend, I would love to help, even if you're not strong in your faith, even if you're a beginner, even if you don't know who God is, I would love to still help you on your journey as you are setting goals and trying to reach them as you are going from a negative mindset into a positive one. And the reason why I say that is because. I used to call myself a Christian, but I lived in the world. And so my negative and positive mindset really relied on my emotions and what was happening with me. In that season of my life. And so I didn't really have any stability, but. When I really dug and rooted myself in Christ, that's where my anchor came to be. And so whatever happened in my life, yes, it caused stress and grief. And it hasn't always been easy, but there's always a constant there. And that constant isn't me. It's my Lord. And my savior. It's Jesus. And so even if you're not there yet, I would still love to help you gather your thoughts and help you find that stability in your life that can anchor you so that you can move forward and reach your goals. As long as you are ready to put in the work, I am ready to help you. So my friend, I can't wait to see all of the new Heights that you're going to beach in the coming year. I am affiliated with painting miracles and corporations, and I am certified through the I am system, which is created specifically for painting miracles. Painting miracles is a clinic. It's essentially a one-stop shop for your clinical needs. There are clinical psychologists there that can help you. If you feel like you need therapy. You can find more information on all of these services that they have to offer on their website, which I will also link in the show notes. So you have everything. At your fingertips. My affiliation with them as a life coach has been a huge blessing, and I'm just excited to see all the new Heights that pink team miracles is going to achieve as well as what you guys are going to achieve as well. So it's been awesome just coming alongside them and joining their team. So you might be asking, or you might be thinking maybe you do feel like you need some life coaching. And you're just not really sure how to get in contact with me. There's a couple ways you can do that. So if you're ready to start your journey and begin working towards a positive mindset. Or feeling like you're ready to make progress towards your goal that you've set for yourself. My friend, you can reach me in many ways and we can get the process. Started for you. So the first way is to click on the link in the show notes for painting miracles website, and you can fill out the form. There is a note section. Once you fill out the form towards the bottom, just leave them a note, telling them that you'd like to work with me and they can get you in contact with me. The second way is to reach out on my social media accounts like Instagram or the Facebook group, which are also linked in the show notes as well. And just let me know that you want to work with me that you're ready to get started on your journey and we can get you on the schedule. Now don't worry if you can't meet in person, if you feel like you're too far from me, we can definitely link up with a video call and get you started on the path to peace. And yes, I know it's going to be hard. But my friend, you can do her things, right? I know you can do this. You're taking the first step to reach out to me. And that is you making the first step in your journey. Believe it or not taking that first step is the hardest, because there's so much uncomfortableness there and maybe a lot of doubt. And a lot of fear. You don't know what's going on because of the unknown. But my friend, I promise you, this is going to be. Best decision that you end up making for yourself. Especially when it comes to working towards. Moving from a mostly negative mindset into a positive one. And so the message that I want to wrap up with you today, my friend is just to encourage you to seek God first and set your mind on things above. With us setting our goals. It thinks that it can be so easy for us to put God seconds because we can become so self exalting in that season where we're. Establishing a goal and we're just so on fire to get to the next point in our journey. That we ended up leaving God behind. And so you might be thinking, is it even possible to put him first and still reach my goals? I know my friend and my son crazy, but yes, you absolutely positively can. F our flesh instinct it's to be self exalting and to do these things for our own glory or really for our namesake. And how I usually find myself in this mindset when I noticed that I am doing these things is When I do something to prove myself. So I'm being fixated only the results and along whether or not that dictates the amount of gratitude I have towards simply being able to work towards my goal. A good way to do that is to audit my emotions. It's to think about. Do I feel more frustrated when I see the progress is low and it's not quite moving along the way that I think that he should be. I also like to think about if I am rushing to get to a certain point in the journey. And these are all good self-reflecting questions. The reason why is because it's a good way to help you audit your thoughts and where your heart posher is currently at. if you're feeling that you need to hurry up and get to a certain point by a certain time. And so every week you're constantly checking on your progress. You're constantly looking at the scale. And focusing on all of these. Distractions. If you will. Then you forget to put God first and don't get me wrong. I believe that the Lord does put work on our heart. He puts these desires on our heart, but I think it is. To see his glory and that work that you're doing and not so much. All of the things that you are focusing on. If you're fixated on only starting up your business and trying to get the sales, has that distracted you from the glory of God? I know. That it might not be the easiest thing to look at and to admit, but it is a really good way to audit where our heart posture is at so that we can realign ourselves. And there's nothing wrong with that. I think that even for myself, I get distracted and I can get pulled away, but I love that the Lord always brings me back in a good way of doing that though, is to acknowledge that I have been distracted and pulled away. Another way for me to notice if I am being distracted. From God is if I make it about me. When I think about only myself or love my goal, more than Jesus. See my mind likes to tell me that I liked Jesus more than anything, which is true. But I have to ask what. Does my actions and my thoughts reflect because that's going to be a huge telltale of where your heart harsher is at. When we love our goals more than Jesus, we've missed the point on why we have these desires he's placed in us. I believe again, he places these desire in us so that we can delight in our work and see his glory in all of that. But it's when we are not seeing the results that we think should be happening and solely focusing on that. That's when we start to get pulled away and distracted. And then the last thing I have listed here on how I usually find myself in the mindset that I've gone with my flesh or with Jesus is. When I do it for my own glory and assign intentional by any means it happens. This happens when I am. Looking for compliments, at least I know for myself, I think for you, you'd have to look at what it is that you are unintentionally doing. That might be self glorifying. It's also when I am being very boastful in the things that I did. So it's like, look at what I did. I did this, I made this happen, but the honest truth is that none of this would have happened. Had it not been for Jesus. It's not all about me. The things that I did and the sacrifices that I made. Are nothing. Compared to the things that Jesus did, the sacrifices that he made, none of this would be possible without God. And this can happen, especially when we place God as the background character in our life. when we place God as a background character and a life he's now automatically not number one, he's probably number two, number three, number four. Cause now you have a whole load of a laundry list of things that you need to complete before you give your attention to God. But my friend, I encourage you as you're working through this year. And working towards your goal. That you would place him first and allow him to transform you. From the inside out. If you take nothing else from this episode, my friend, I hope that you take this. Shift your mindset to place God as the main character in your life and watch your mind transform, invite him into every aspect of your life, into the places and spaces that you occupy. That is going to make a huge difference. Align yourself with him. Redirect your why, if you have to. So that's basically your reasoning of why you've set yourself on this journey to reflect him and who he is. And I know that it can be hard. because you might think that you absolutely have to quit whatever it is you're doing now. And try to find something to do that is going to align. Your self to God, but my friend. It's doesn't have to be that way. When I started my fitness journey, it was not for the glory of God. It was for my own vanity because I wanted a body, a healthy body, one that looked good for myself, not so that I can see God's glory and how I'm able to move live in that gratitude mindset that yes, today my body is able and I'm thankful for it. So it just my simply mean that you need to reevaluate your why your reasoning for this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to stop what you're doing. I think it's good that we take a moment to just reflect on what we've been doing. And then. Realign ourselves. We adjust our goals a little bit so that we can continue to keep God first this year. So that's all I have for you. that was my encouragement message for you. I hope, I hope I hope that it inspired you and encouraged you. I want to thank you for listening today. I know that I doubled back and spoke about the rebranding of the restored mind, but honestly, I'm so excited and I just wanted to dive in deeper with you all on all the good things that are happening. With the restored mind so far, there's going to be more things to come. then I'll share with you when these things happen in the future. Honestly, I don't even know what these good things are, but I know that God is mightier than me and he's working all things for my good, all things for the good of the restored mind, all things for the good of life, coaching, all things for you. My friend Polis. He can do so much more than all that I ask of him or that you ask of him. so whatever blessings the restored mind receives, I'm going to take it. It's going to be so good. And I'm here for it. And I hope that you are too. I also hope that today's message about keeping the Lord first inspires you to take a look at your goals and reassess where your heart posture is on. Don't be discouraged, but be encouraged that he's given you work to do let us delight in our work for, he loves us. So he makes everything beautiful in his perfect. Timing. And I know my friend that life can get hard. This season may be hard setting yourself a goal and realigning yourself with him. Can possibly be hard, but my friend, you can do hard things. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to listen in on this episode. I meant what I said. You can do hard things, so don't let the daily challenges stop you from reaching your greatest potential.
