The Difference Between a Poor Mindset and a Rich Mindset

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Which do you have?

Our mindset plays a crucial role in shaping our lives, influencing our decisions, and ultimately determining our success. Understanding the difference between a poor mindset and a rich mindset can help you identify where you stand and how you can grow.

Poor Mindset: Scarcity, Fear, and Limitation

A poor mindset is characterized by:

  • Scarcity Mentality: This mindset focuses on the belief that resources, opportunities, and success are limited. Individuals with a scarcity mindset often feel that there isn’t enough to go around, leading to competition rather than collaboration.
  • Fear of Failure: People with a poor mindset may avoid taking risks due to a fear of failure. They often see setbacks as insurmountable obstacles rather than opportunities for growth.
  • Limitation in Thinking: A poor mindset limits one’s potential by fostering negative beliefs about what is achievable. This can lead to a sense of hopelessness and stagnation.

Rich Mindset: Abundance, Possibility, and Growth

In contrast, a rich mindset embodies:

  • Abundance Mentality: Those with a rich mindset believe that there are plenty of resources and opportunities available. They see the world as a place full of potential and are open to collaboration and shared success.
  • Resilience and Growth: A rich mindset embraces challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. Individuals with this mindset are more likely to bounce back from setbacks and view failures as stepping stones to success.
  • Possibility in Thinking: A rich mindset encourages expansive thinking, allowing individuals to envision a future filled with possibilities. This mindset fosters creativity and innovation.

The Role of Personal Growth

The good news is that the only person who can change your mindset is you. Personal growth is essential in shifting from a poor mindset to a rich mindset.

Here are some effective strategies to cultivate a rich mindset:

  1. Read Inspirational Books: Books that focus on personal development, success stories, and positive thinking can provide valuable insights and motivation.
  2. Listen to Podcasts: There are countless podcasts that explore topics related to mindset, motivation, and personal growth. These can help inspire you and offer practical strategies for change.
  3. Attend Motivational Workshops: Participating in workshops and seminars can provide a supportive environment for learning and growth. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can also boost your motivation.
  4. Practice Gratitude: Regularly reflecting on what you are grateful for can shift your focus from scarcity to abundance, helping to foster a more positive mindset.
  5. Set Goals and Take Action: Establishing clear goals and taking actionable steps towards achieving them can reinforce a rich mindset, as it creates a sense of purpose and direction.

What Do You Do to Keep a Healthy Mindset?

Embracing a Healthier Lifestyle: My 22-Year Journey with Wellness Store Products

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

After 22 years, I am still loving the Wellness Store products I purchase each month. My journey began slowly, swapping everyday items one at a time. Back then, the selection was limited to about 50 products, but now there are over 400, and the company keeps expanding its offerings!

Are You Making Healthier Choices for Your Family?

I decided to prioritize my family’s health 22 years ago, and I haven’t looked back. It brings me joy to know that we are using healthier, less toxic alternatives compared to what we used before. Improving our overall health was my goal, and it just made sense to switch to this brand and ditch the toxins.

And let’s not forget about the clean beef options—they are a game changer!

The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Laundry Detergents

I used to rely on brands like Tide, Gain, and Baby Dreft, unaware of their toxicity. Consider this: you are in contact with your laundry soap 24/7. You wear the clothes all day, dry off with towels, and sleep on bed linens treated with these products. Every day and every night, your skin absorbs what it comes into contact with. In just 26 seconds, those substances can enter your bloodstream, affecting your health.

Tide and Gain may smell good, but they often harbor harmful chemicals. Just look at the warnings on the labels—red flags that I ignored until my children started experiencing acne and eczema. That’s when I began searching for a safer brand.

The Harsh Reality of Conventional Detergents

Many laundry detergents, including pods, have been linked to various health issues, such as hormone disruption, fertility problems, rashes, lung damage, and even chemical burns. Here’s what you’re actually paying for with Tide:

  • Water: Over 80%
  • Sodium Alcohol Ethoxylate Sulfate
  • Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate
  • Fragrance Perfume and many more harmful ingredients.

It’s alarming to think about the environmental factors contributing to cancers that can’t be blamed on genetics.

A Better Alternative

The MelaPower line is just one of over 400 products I’ve swapped out on my Wellness journey. Two decades later, I can confidently say that I love this company and its products just as much now as I did when I first discovered them!

I’ve seen many lives improve because I was open to learning about simple changes, like replacement shopping that saves time and money.

My current detergent boasts a formula with zero:

  • Chlorine bleach
  • Formaldehyde
  • Phthalates
  • Parabens
  • Chemical fragrances

What You Get with the Wellness Shop Club

With Wellness Shop Club, you receive:

  • Coconut oil-derived surfactants
  • Plant enzymes
  • Essential oils

The containers are half the size of the competition because the products are super concentrated, which also reduces shipping costs. And yes, everything is made in America!

We have ditched Tide, Seventh Generation, Gain, Dreft, and all the other toxic brands, and we have never looked back.

Time for a Change: Why You Should Switch Stores for Healthier, Better Products

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Twenty-two years ago, I made a pivotal decision: I switched stores. I may not have realized it at the time, but I was leaving my favorite big-name store behind for good!

If you’re looking for a better shopping experience, consider this: “It’s not just a store…it’s a MOVEMENT.”

The Leap of Faith

I get it. Every person who has decided to try the Wellness Store likely felt a little hesitant at first. It’s natural to feel that way! It’s not because they don’t want a safer, non-toxic brand. Of course, they do.

It’s not because they don’t appreciate the convenience of shopping from home. They definitely do!

It’s not because they don’t want American-made products. They absolutely do!

And it’s certainly not because they don’t want to save money—who wouldn’t?

But here’s the catch: people tend to stick with what they know. They have their favorite brands and know exactly where to find things in their usual stores. It’s easy to overthink making a switch, especially when the world is full of uncertainties. We cling to what feels safe and predictable.

Join the Movement

But here’s the exciting part! With over 20,000 new households making the switch every month, I challenge you to lean in and discover why we love it here.

Shopping at the Wellness Store doesn’t just benefit you; it supports “the little guy” — all of us — instead of contributing to Big Box BS corporations. That part matters too!

An Opportunity Awaits

And let’s not forget the best part: you have the option to partner with us and start earning a paycheck for your family. This could make a significant difference in your life!

So, what are you waiting for? Come join the party! It’s super fun over here, and we can’t wait to welcome you into this vibrant community of health-conscious shoppers. Make the switch today and experience the difference for yourself!

I can help you.

Gratitude and Living a Long Life 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This Florida woman, Mildred Kirschenbaum, is going viral on social media with this piece of life advice. 

“I want to share a thought about attitude. I recently turned 100 years old. And yet, I have friends who are 15-20 years younger, and their attitudes are going to cause them not to survive to my age. 

They’re not grateful for anything. Their attitude is, ‘I don’t see my kids more than once a week’ or ‘the food I was served was cold and bad.’ Their attitude is not acceptable. 

If the food isn’t quite right, so have an extra dessert! If you hear from your children once a week, that’s fine. They call you once a week, you call them once a week. And be grateful that they are enjoying life. 

Change your attitude. Look at the positive side of life. I think THAT is what got me this far. I try my best not to sweat the small stuff and to have a positive attitude.” 

Mildred, 100 years old, lives alone, drives, pays her bills online, texts loved ones on her iPhone and never misses happy hour. She has become an internet sensation for her advice on living a long and active life. 

Forgiveness is another concept Mildred discusses. 

“At this point in my life, I’m 100. When I go to bed, I may not wake up again. Why carry an unnecessary burden? Why wake up in the morning and, even though you don’t think about it, you’re angry at somebody? They don’t deserve your anger. If they’re not important to you, just shelve it. If they’re important to you, reach out.” 

Some of Mildred’s videos appear on the lighter side, including one she shared about getting tech-savvy, no matter your age. 

“We live in a computer world. Either you go with the flow or you fall off the train. This is a tech world. If you have a computer and don’t know how to use it, there’s a book called “Computers for Dummies.” Don’t say, ‘I don’t know how to retrieve emails.’ There’s no such thing as, ‘I don’t know.’” 

Mildred has an iPad, an iPhone, and a Microsoft computer to help her stay in touch with people, get information she needs, play an occasional game of Words With Friends, film her videos, and do her banking.

“The only checks I mail are birthday gifts,” Mildred said. “Everything else is online.” 

Other topics Mildred discusses are navigating the road at 100 years old, why she chooses to live alone, the safest way to get up if you fall at home, and directions for her chicken soup recipe which was requested over and over.

“Taste it. If you don’t have enough salt, add it. Don’t be afraid to improvise.”

One key to longevity, Mildred said, is getting out and about — being social. 

She enjoys playing bridge or canasta to keep her mind sharp and stay connected with others. But one of her favorite ways to be social is attending happy hour at her community clubhouse or a favorite local restaurant. 

“I do enjoy happy hour. There’s usually no one there even close to my age but that’s no problem whatsoever.” 

We could all take Mildred’s advice .

A passion for helping others

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Helping people help themselves has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, when I stumbled onto this company via friends, while looking for safe household cleaning products it was a no brainer. Now, almost 21 years later, I’m still using healthy products, made in the USA, from a company I trust for my family while helping others to do the same. Win, win!

This is kinda a big deal so I’m sharing again….because it needs to be heard. 

Maybe you’ve seen my posts over the last 14 years and quietly thought to yourself , “awww how cute…she’s trying a work from home project”…. Or honestly, maybe you inadvertently (and incorrectly ) threw us in the MLM bucket which rarely holds much merit…

It’s fine. I think a lot of people do that (they don’t know any better, But everything is different here and it’s time we start getting loud about that! 

When you know better… you DO better. 

So here we go:
USA Today has named The Wellness Company one of America’s Most Trusted Brands. 

T R U S T E D 

This part really matters. We live in a world where (unfortunately) trust feels all but lost. People are divided. They don’t trust much. It’s so disheartening. Trust is something that carries so much more more weight than it ever used to. Would you agree? 

America’s Most Trusted Brands 2025 study was one of the largest and most comprehensive consumer trust studies ever conducted in the United States. It was completed at a time when overall trust in institutions is at historic lows—yet trust remains one of the most valuable assets a company can earn.

The rankings were determined by USA Today and their research partner, Plant-A Insights Group, which surveyed more than 24,000 US consumers and analyzed 359,000 brand reviews.

The study measured “trust” based on five key factors:
  • Emotional connection
  • Trust and transparency
  • Likelihood to purchase
  • Alignment with personal values
  • Reliability

And “little ol us”….. we just be out here competing with the Johnson & Johnson’s and Proctor and Gamble’s of the world and are being recognized as one of the best of the best. 

The survey named only one-tent of one percent of ALL American companies as the nation’s most trusted companies. 
And here we are, just doing our thing…like we have for 40 years. 

If you need a store that you can fully trust…. I GOT YOU. No fluff. No hype.  It’s the real actual deal.

Success

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Success looks different for everyone. For some it’s paying off debt, for others it’s having freedom to travel, and for some it’s just more breathing room in life. What does success look like to you? Maybe…

⭐️ It’s spending more time at home with your family?

⭐️ Having a schedule that works around you?

⭐️ Simply not stressing every month about bills?

Price comparisons

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Both of these companies (Norwest and The Wellness Company) have amazing, safer products. But the price difference? It’s huge!

I’m just sharing this because I know so many families are like mine—wanting to ditch the toxins without breaking the bank.
In this economy, every dollar counts and this is one way to do it.

Shop smarter, live cleaner, and save more.

Raising prices?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

This is absolutely crazy but I just read a list of suggested products to stock up on before prices potentially increase because of tariffs.

On the list were laundry detergent, toothpaste, coffee, cold medicine, vitamins, skin care, cosmetics, pain relievers, shampoo, hair treatments. Ummm…seriously? Do you see the disconnect here?

I’ve bought ALL of these items and more from my MADE IN THE USA Wellness company over the past 21 years! I’m not worried about price increases or stocking up on these products because the products I usee are MADE IN AMERICA!

Before shopping at my Wellness store I had zero thought about “Toxic” Tide or Gain—I didn’t care what ingredients were in them or the skin care and cosmetics I used. I used my old products religiously, even though my face reacted often to whatever poison was in them. I drank my mold-laden coffee because I didn’t know any better. And toothpaste? I used the most expensive one for sensitive teeth because my gums were sore.

Now 21 years later, I still pay less than $20 for 96 loads of the BEST laundry detergent ever. I pay less than $5 for toothpaste that is powered with essential oils and healed my gums. I even drink mold-free organic coffee that is so delicious.

As for cosmetics, skin care, shampoo…I’m obsessed with the Sei Bella brand skincare from this company. Obsessed! Just think, $15.50 for a luxury mascara! The prices for this clean line are unbeatable!

Then there are my daily supplements, proven to work, better absorption and at a better price point. No scrimping on my health! I could go on and on about the hundreds of products my Wellness company offers!

If you love your toxic made in China brands, stock up they will be going up in price.

If supporting and shopping USA brands is important to you, you’ll love it here. Contact me to learn more

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a condition characterized by extreme tiredness or fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep. It can often be misdiagnosed as depression which leads to improper prescribed anti-depressants.

Who is at risk for Chronic Fatigue? The top seven risk factors for chronic fatigue syndrome are:

  1. Women between the ages of 30 and 50.
  2. Being overweight
  3. Being inactive
  4. Having allergies
  5. Depression
  6. A stressful life
  7. Exposure to toxins

Technically, there is no cure, but there are steps you can take to address it. First, however, you have to know the root causes of CFS.

Root Causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Here are some common culprits of CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome):

  • Viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections
  • Epstein-Barr virus
  • Heavy metal, toxic chemicals or mold 
  • Unhealthy digestive system and gut microbiome
  • Thyroid issues
  • Immune conditions
  • Adrenal exhaustion 
  • Hormonal Imbalances
  • Inflammation 
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction
  • Nutritional deficiencies 
  • Hypertension 
  • Mental stress

Pretty big list, right? So it’s important to not “self diagnose” an issues that’s not there. 
If you do have a proper diagnosis, here’s a few steps you can take to feel better:

  1. Eat a well balanced diet
  2. Consult about proper supplementation. Chances are you are deficient in more than one area
  3. Exercise within your limits
  4. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day

As always, I’m here to help in any way I can!
