Funny how powerful changing one word can impact your mindset.
For example, when it comes to eating healthy and/or foregoing the junk, instead of saying, “I have to avoid junk food and eat more veggies,” replace that “have” with a “get,” and the sentence has an entirely new meaning and mindset.

I’m a singer.
I think I can safely say that because I love to sing, I get asked to sing, and I even get paid to sing.
