In this podcast episode, I dive into the transformative power of questioning our thoughts and beliefs. I emphasize that the quality of our lives is primarily determined by the questions we ask ourselves. Instead of succumbing to negative statements like "Why is this happening to me?" or "This is not fair," I encourage listeners to shift their mindset by asking empowering questions, such as "What if it's all possible?"
I share a personal story about my recent trip to Finland, where my husband competed in the World Olympic Lifting Championships and earned a silver medal. This experience was filled with uncertainty and challenges even to get there. I repeatedly reminded myself that it would all work out in the most incredible way possible. This mindset shift allowed me to focus on the potential for success rather than the fear of failure.
Throughout the episode, I discuss how our subconscious minds are wired to look for what could go wrong, especially when we embark on new ventures. I illustrate this with examples, such as the fears arising before speaking in public or sharing vulnerable content online. I emphasize the importance of countering these fears with positive possibilities, asking ourselves, "What if it goes incredibly well?"
Our minds need repetition to seek out evidence of success rather than failure. It is so important to surround ourselves with proof that our dreams are attainable.
