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 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...2021-09-0527 minThe End of the Day Podcast with Kari Watterson: Using Mindset Work to Live Your Best LifeEp. 33 - Psychological Reactance & Personal AutonomyDid you know there is a psychological term for that knee-jerk response we sometimes have when we feel like we're being told what to do?In today's episode, I talk about psychological reactance, our brain's negative reflexive response when it perceives a threat to our personal freedom or our ability to be autonomous -- even when that threat comes from us.This opened up my eyes to how psychological reactance shows up in my life and in my clients' lives, such as struggles with calendaring, inconsistent actions toward desired goals, parenting decisions, feeling triggered by...2021-08-2635 minThe End of the Day Podcast with Kari Watterson: Using Mindset Work to Live Your Best LifeEp. 32 - Choosing Motivational Quotes With IntentionMotivational quotes are everywhere: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn.

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...2020-12-3123 minThe End of the Day Podcast with Kari Watterson: Using Mindset Work to Live Your Best LifeEp. 28 - How Are You Feeling Right Now?How are you feeling right now?

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.

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".
