Ep 205 A Legacy to Retrain Our Minds with Mimika Cooney

Mimika Cooney, author, speaker and "personal trainer for the mind" is with us today to talk about mindset and legacy and living for things that matter. Wife and mother of three, Mimika had a lot going on until she realized she needed to get off the treadmill of doing too much with too little of relying on God. She needed a mindset change: "Lord, show me what you want me to do and then help me do it." And he did and does. 

"Our mind drives our actions so I need to keep God in the driver seat by renewing my mind daily—Romans 12:2."--Mimika (pronouced like paprika!)

Author of 10 books including her latest: Unstick Your Mind: Shift Your Mindset, Develop Grit, and Break Barriers, Mimika shares wisdom and inspiration based on her favorite Scripture, Romans 12:2 - "...be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."

Some gems from our conversation:

• Training includes action—God expects us to act so we can be and do what he's created us to be and do.
• We all have "junk in the trunk" that slows us down and needs clearing out.
• We may be living in denial-city if we think we can do God's will without God renewing our minds daily.
• Our mind drives our actions so I need to keep God in the driver seat by renewing my mind daily—Romans 12:2.
• We don't know what we don't know so we rely on God to show us what needs changing and then take action steps to make those changes.
• There are limits to self-help because it's self, not God.
• You have to want to make a change. I help people move from where they are to where they want to be.
• Ask yourself: "What are you thinking and why do you believe that?"
• You're never too old to teach an old dog new tricks. 
• Your story is a testimony to God's grace so if you keep it to yourself, you are doing the world a disservice and robbing God of the glory due him.
