Our thoughts, emotions, and mental processes can sometimes work against us and lead to self-doubt, anxiety, or negative self-perception.

It reflects the importance of mental health and the role our thought patterns and attitudes play in our well-being. Here are a few reasons why this statement holds true:

1. Overthinking: Excessive rumination and overthinking can lead to anxiety and stress. We often create problems or scenarios in our minds that may not even exist in reality.
2. Negative Self-Talk: Negative self-talk, where we criticize or belittle ourselves, can erode self-esteem and confidence.
3. Fear and Worry: Our minds can generate fear and excessive worry, often about future events that may never come to pass.
4. Perfectionism: Striving for perfection in every aspect of life can lead to unrealistic expectations and self-criticism when we don't meet those expectations.
5. Rumination on the Past: Repeatedly dwelling on past mistakes or regrets can prevent us from moving forward and finding happiness in the present.
6. Comparison: Constantly comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and envy.
7. Cognitive Biases: Our minds are susceptible to various cognitive biases, such as confirmation bias or negativity bias, which can distort our perception of reality.

Recognizing that your mind can sometimes work against you is an important step in addressing these issues.

It's essential to practice self-awareness and develop strategies to manage negative thought patterns and emotions.

This may include mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, seeking support from a therapist, and adopting a positive and self-compassionate mindset.

Taking care of your mental health and seeking support when needed can help you transform your mind from an enemy into an ally in your life's journey.

listeners in person and light, it's such a blessing. Today, I

Unknown: 00:01:21

Unknown: 00:01:26

Unknown: 00:01:43

eight. There will be episodes that are very really relatable

Unknown: 00:01:49

for any situation you're in right now. If it is feeling

Unknown: 00:01:52

stuck feeling troubled in, you know a relationship or having to

Unknown: 00:01:58

make a big decision or just overall, wanting to enjoy more

Unknown: 00:02:05

and depth connection with yourself and others around you.

Unknown: 00:02:08

I deeply encourage you to go back to season one. And to start

Unknown: 00:02:13

there. And to Yeah, find meditations find interviews,

Unknown: 00:02:19

find episodes where it's just me talking or sharing tips and

Unknown: 00:02:25

tools on how you can become the best version of yourself are

Unknown: 00:02:30

add. Let's talk about your mind and how your mind within seconds

Unknown: 00:02:37

can have you drift into a downward spiral. You get up in

Unknown: 00:02:43

the morning and feel well and excited. And go about your day,

Unknown: 00:02:48

go about your routines, maybe drive to work. And then

Unknown: 00:02:53

something happens. Be at you listening to you know, post a

Unknown: 00:03:01

video, something on social media, or be it a person, either

Unknown: 00:03:07

somebody you love and care about or somebody you don't even know

Unknown: 00:03:10

who makes a comment and all of a sudden shit goes south and your

Unknown: 00:03:15

day is ruined. Because for some reason you took something

Unknown: 00:03:20

personal, that others might not take personal we can talk about

Unknown: 00:03:25

triggers here. But yeah, sometimes our mind is just

Unknown: 00:03:30

simply a landmine, a warzone for triggers and we feel vulnerable

Unknown: 00:03:37

we feel on edge we feel criticized. And it's situation.

Unknown: 00:03:48

mind set, a mode that our mind can be and that is very

Unknown: 00:03:54

difficult to get out of, and how to snap out of it is really the

Unknown: 00:04:00

art here how to not believe every thought that you have,

Unknown: 00:04:05

especially when it comes to self doubt. When it comes to feeling

Unknown: 00:04:11

less than not enough, comparing yourself. It is part of the

Unknown: 00:04:19

human experience and it is the way our mind most of our minds

Unknown: 00:04:25

are wired to compare to be anxious and nervous to be on

Unknown: 00:04:33

edge. Especially if, if that's our normal, especially if we're

Unknown: 00:04:38

used to being nervous if you were used to being judgey

Unknown: 00:04:43

towards others, but especially ourselves, and it takes

Unknown: 00:04:48

training. It takes effort to get yourself out of this weird loop

Unknown: 00:04:54

and to feel good again, to feel good about yourself and to not

Unknown: 00:05:00

let your thoughts control who you are, what you are how you

Unknown: 00:05:06

serve your community. It is very tricky as a business owner,

Unknown: 00:05:11

right when you start a business, and you put yourself out there

Unknown: 00:05:16

with your heart and your blood, and you feel like people are not

Unknown: 00:05:20

really interested as much as you were hoping for, or you have a

Unknown: 00:05:25

successful business, and all of a sudden, somebody next door

Unknown: 00:05:28

opens up a business that is similar to yours, and they have

Unknown: 00:05:33

a different kind of success, an easier start or a better

Unknown: 00:05:38

marketing strategy. And that's crushing, that's very, very

Unknown: 00:05:43

difficult to, to go through these moments, but our mind can

Unknown: 00:05:49

usually worsen the situation. And it goes back to how we feel

Unknown: 00:05:56

about ourselves internally, without having a business

Unknown: 00:06:00

without having a relationship. That when we feel challenged, we

Unknown: 00:06:07

go back to maybe even childhood memories where we felt

Unknown: 00:06:12

inadequate, and less than for the first time. And it is really

Unknown: 00:06:17

important to get behind the stories. And to reframe them and

Unknown: 00:06:22

to know that this is a story that I'm telling myself. And it

Unknown: 00:06:27

might have been valid in the past at some point. But it is

Unknown: 00:06:31

not valid anymore. Or it was never even valid. We simply made

Unknown: 00:06:40

a conclusion about ourselves about others about the world.

Unknown: 00:06:44

And it's not even the truth. But at that time back then when we

Unknown: 00:06:48

made the conclusion, it was just an easy fix, to say that's how

Unknown: 00:06:54

we put our mind to sleep ourselves to sleep, that maybe

Unknown: 00:06:59

you know, all men are cheaters or all women are gold diggers or

Unknown: 00:07:05

all teachers and authority figures are just evil and want

Unknown: 00:07:11

to get us and mistreat us, right we we make all sorts of

Unknown: 00:07:16

conclusions when we feel hurt and disappointed. And our

Unknown: 00:07:22

mindset in the present moment might just fall back into that

Unknown: 00:07:28

memory. Your mind is an excellent time traveler and

Unknown: 00:07:33

excellent space traveler. An excellent traveler when it comes

Unknown: 00:07:37

to memories your minds business is to prevent future pain. So

Unknown: 00:07:47

your mind goes back to a painful memory when you feel indecisive

Unknown: 00:07:52

and fearful to protect you from making a mistake from making the

Unknown: 00:07:59

same mistake once over again. But sometimes it does you a huge

Unknown: 00:08:07

disservice. Especially when it comes to comparing yourself to

Unknown: 00:08:12

other people. You compare yourself to a person who might

Unknown: 00:08:17

see more healthy, might see more beautiful, prettier, handsome,

Unknown: 00:08:25

might seem more successful. And you diminish your value

Unknown: 00:08:32

drastically, you only see and the other person what you don't

Unknown: 00:08:37

have and what they have. But you don't see the reality your mind

Unknown: 00:08:43

starts distorting, to a degree that it's not even fair to the

Unknown: 00:08:48

other person because you put them on a pedestal and they have

Unknown: 00:08:52

their struggles too. But your self worth issues are fueling

Unknown: 00:08:57

your mind to be even more insecure than it is already. And

Unknown: 00:09:02

it's just such a shitshow to be in. It's such a detrimental

Unknown: 00:09:10

mindset to have and I know you're not doing it on purpose.

Unknown: 00:09:14

I'm not doing another purpose when it happens to me, but it

Unknown: 00:09:17

happens and to raise your awareness to sharpen your tools

Unknown: 00:09:25

when it comes to yourself awareness is so crucial in this

Unknown: 00:09:29

like in everything that I teach. And everything that I talked

Unknown: 00:09:33

about self awareness, I believe is the key to a genuine

Unknown: 00:09:41

connection to yourself and others. And to become aware that

Unknown: 00:09:46

when your mind slides into comparison, self doubt, self

Unknown: 00:09:51

destruct, sorry, self destruct mode,

Unknown: 00:09:57

you can just observe it You can take the back seat, and watch

Unknown: 00:10:03

this movie playing in front of you, as if you were sitting in a

Unknown: 00:10:07

movie theater. You just watch it for a while and see what your

Unknown: 00:10:11

mind your beautiful, beautiful mind comes up with beautiful

Unknown: 00:10:16

ideas or not so beautiful ideas to make you feel shitty. And to

Unknown: 00:10:21

not attach to these thoughts and to know that, oh, now your mind

Unknown: 00:10:27

is doing this negative, downward spiraling game again. Am I going

Unknown: 00:10:33

to hook into it? And believe it and allow my whole being to

Unknown: 00:10:37

slide into this? No, maybe I can question some of the thoughts

Unknown: 00:10:42

that I have. Really, is that person that I'm comparing myself

Unknown: 00:10:46

to? Better than me? Are they more successful? Maybe they have

Unknown: 00:10:53

tools and resources that I can claim in the future, maybe I can

Unknown: 00:10:57

learn from that person that I'm comparing myself to? Really is

Unknown: 00:11:03

my partner. What is an example I can bring up here? Yeah, is my

Unknown: 00:11:11

partner attracted to this person over there, because they have,

Unknown: 00:11:18

you know, a beautiful fancy car, and a beautiful body and they

Unknown: 00:11:24

look so healthy. And he always talks about how he enjoys having

Unknown: 00:11:30

friends that are healthy, and beautiful. And I don't feel

Unknown: 00:11:36

healthy and beautiful right now. So he's probably going to cheat

Unknown: 00:11:38

on me. And then that downward spiral, right. And when it comes

Unknown: 00:11:44

to your parents and your siblings and kind of feeling

Unknown: 00:11:47

that, yeah, your parents prefer your sibling. And yeah, they've

Unknown: 00:11:51

been doing way more, and they're more compassionate, and then

Unknown: 00:11:55

more present, and they're just overall a better person. And I'm

Unknown: 00:11:58

just the worst person and to just watch these thoughts in the

Unknown: 00:12:04

future. And to know that your mind is very capable to create

Unknown: 00:12:10

Hell on Earth. But you don't have to believe it, you don't

Unknown: 00:12:14

have to go after it. You can observe it. And maybe at the

Unknown: 00:12:20

beginning, not snap your snap self right out of it, but kind

Unknown: 00:12:25

of slowly navigate out of the situation. Because now you're

Unknown: 00:12:32

becoming more aware of what's going on, you know, now that

Unknown: 00:12:37

your minds default, is to go into a negative place of

Unknown: 00:12:43

comparison and insecurity and self doubt. And that it's

Unknown: 00:12:47

perfectly fine. But you don't have to believe it, you can

Unknown: 00:12:51

watch it. And the more you manage to watch it and not hook

Unknown: 00:12:57

into it, the more you can detach from it, dis identify from it

Unknown: 00:13:03

and know that your mind is just trying to protect you. And it's

Unknown: 00:13:09

not serving you in a way that suits you right now. And you

Unknown: 00:13:12

will focus it in on your breath, you can go for a walk and just

Unknown: 00:13:17

deeply tune into your environment. Or you can just

Unknown: 00:13:21

change the subject or do something else. Or spoil

Unknown: 00:13:26

yourself to a hot bath, a nice meal, would talk to a friend

Unknown: 00:13:31

about it and maybe joke about it and see that hey, your monkey

Unknown: 00:13:35

mind is,

Unknown: 00:13:37

you know, on this weird path, downward spiral,

Unknown: 00:13:40

and once again, and you're just trying to not hook into it. Like

Unknown: 00:13:44

the more we

Unknown: 00:13:46

are transparent about these things with the people we love,

Unknown: 00:13:49

the more we can connect to them and they might share with you

Unknown: 00:13:52

like here. Awesome. For me. I had a day like this yesterday,

Unknown: 00:13:58

and I felt like shit. Especially when you are a parent when you

Unknown: 00:14:02

are a business owner when you are a single and you hate being

Unknown: 00:14:07

single when you are in a relationship and you're just so

Unknown: 00:14:09

frustrated about certain things that are not going well. The

Unknown: 00:14:14

more we can talk about it and be transparent about it and just

Unknown: 00:14:17

human about it, the easier things will get and the less

Unknown: 00:14:21

charge things will have and drain our energies and just

Unknown: 00:14:28

Yeah, make us feel weird and lonely. So yeah, your mind is

Unknown: 00:14:36

beautiful. Your mind is a mystery and your mind is not

Unknown: 00:14:41

always your friend. And that's perfectly fine. We can become

Unknown: 00:14:46

the observer of our thoughts of our mind. And just know that

Unknown: 00:14:54

thoughts will pass by like clouds and we don't have to jump

Unknown: 00:14:59

on to Every cloud that applause

Unknown: 00:15:01

passes by, and believe it, we can question it or we can just

Unknown: 00:15:06

altogether drop it and not hook into it at all. All right, this

Unknown: 00:15:12

is my episode for you. I hope I didn't. Yeah. Just scream your

Unknown: 00:15:17

ear off.

Unknown: 00:15:19

take really good care of yourself.

Unknown: 00:15:21

If I can help you in any way when it comes to coaching if you

Unknown: 00:15:25

want to meet in person, if you want to have an experience

Unknown: 00:15:28

together when it comes to intimacy and deepening your

Unknown: 00:15:32

connection with other people in yourself, reach out to me. I'm

Unknown: 00:15:36

very excited to work with you and take really good care of

Unknown: 00:15:41
