It makes sense then why so many of us use our level of belief at any given moment as a sign of whether something is or is not working, or whether something is or is not possible for us. In this bite-sized episode, I talk about why waning belief or not believing altogether is not a problem. It's just a signal that we've forgotten to think on purpose. It's an invitation to recalibrate.The most successful people aren't those who've never struggled...

It's easier for us to answer the question, "What are you thinking when you first wake up?"But did you know that what you think determines how you feel?Why is that important?Because how you feel governs what you do or don't do each day, the cumulative effect of which can be seen in the results you have or don't have in li...

This is particularly true of those who think achieving the goal will help them feel better about themselves.

It's an elusive state of mind that seems hard to achieve but we know we need it to accomplish "big things". We set goals and implement tools and processes with the hope of building self-trust, but because we've tied our trustworthiness to a particular outcome, it becomes something we can easily lose, just by being human.But what do we really mean when we say we want to learn to trust ourselves?Why do so many...

A common statement among perfectionists or recovering perfectionists is: "I know what I need (or want) to do but I can't seem to get myself to do it."Perfectionism can feel incredibly debilitating. Because perfectionists hold themselves up to impossibly high standards (typically requiring them to be perfect and flawless), mistakes are devastating and viewed as a personal failure.And when every action has such high stakes, it's easy to see w...

I had to hit rock bottom before I fully committed to learning how to manage my mind. The idea that I could change my life by changing how I thought seemed a bit too "easy". After all, I had spent a lifetime thinking so little of myself, it was hard to believe that I could just one day decide to stop being so hard on myself.And so I dipped my toe into mindset work and kind of tried it out half-heartedly.
