Hello there lovelies,

Negative and anxious thoughts are common experiences for human beings, and they can be challenging to manage at times.

It's important to acknowledge that negative and anxious thoughts are a natural part of being human, and everyone experiences them from time to time. These thoughts can stem from various sources, such as past experiences, fears, uncertainties about the future, or even cognitive biases.

If you find yourself caught in a cycle of negative and anxious thoughts, consider the following strategies to help manage them:

1. Self-Awareness: Recognize when negative or anxious thoughts arise. Being aware of your thought patterns can help you identify triggers and potential sources of stress.
2. Challenge Negative Thoughts: Once you become aware of negative thoughts, question their validity. Ask yourself if there is evidence to support or contradict those thoughts. Often, we can find that our worries are not as realistic as we initially believed.
3. Reframe Thoughts: Reframe negative thoughts into more positive or neutral ones. Instead of catastrophizing, try to view situations realistically and consider potential positive outcomes.

with so much love

Unknown: 00:01:42

sitting outdoors today, lots of bees, lots of wolves, lots of

Unknown: 00:01:47

flies that you might be hearing in the background. And maybe you

Unknown: 00:01:52

can hear or feel that I have the sun warming up my back. It feels

Unknown: 00:02:01

so good. I have my face in the shade and my back in the sun and

Unknown: 00:02:04

it just feels so amazing. I hope you're gonna experience that

Unknown: 00:02:09

someday soon, if not today. All right, let's dive into today's

Unknown: 00:02:15

episode. Today I want to talk about the way your brain, your

Unknown: 00:02:21

mind loves to be addicted to anxious and negative thinking.

Unknown: 00:02:30

And the reason why the mind is addicted to negative thinking,

Unknown: 00:02:36

and anxious thinking is that at some point in your life, it has

Unknown: 00:02:40

learned and when I say it, I mean the mind or your ego, that

Unknown: 00:02:49

this world is not safe, that we can be hurt, we can feel

Unknown: 00:02:56

disappointed, we can be rejected, we can be utterly

Unknown: 00:03:03

scarred and wounded. And this world is not a safe place. And

Unknown: 00:03:09

it can be circumstances or it can be specific people that have

Unknown: 00:03:14

hurt you in the past. And so your mind remembers this pain

Unknown: 00:03:22

and will try everything, everything, everything,

Unknown: 00:03:27

everything at a high cost to protect you from future pain. So

Unknown: 00:03:35

it will come up with anxious thoughts and negative thoughts.

Unknown: 00:03:38

You know those thoughts of doubt and suspicion? Thoughts that

Unknown: 00:03:43

yeah, you can trust this world you cannot trust people because

Unknown: 00:03:49

it wants to protect you. Well imagine your mind your ego, like

Unknown: 00:03:55

over protective parent or guardian. And they take care of

Unknown: 00:04:03

you and tell you do you want to go outside and play in the

Unknown: 00:04:08

garden? Well, I think you should stay inside because outside of

Unknown: 00:04:13

this house. Outside of our gates, there is harm and threat

Unknown: 00:04:19

waiting for you. And you keep you know wondering about the

Unknown: 00:04:24

life beyond the gates of your house beyond or on the other

Unknown: 00:04:28

side of the door, the entrance door and you keep asking hey

Unknown: 00:04:33

today I want to do this today. I want to experience that and your

Unknown: 00:04:37

guardian keeps saying no we shouldn't be doing this. Let's

Unknown: 00:04:41

stay inside let's stay on the couch and maybe read a book or

Unknown: 00:04:46

watch TV because this is a safe place to be this is a safe place

Unknown: 00:04:51

where you will not get hurt. So I think you're getting you're

Unknown: 00:04:55

getting my point here your mind acts like a guard In trying to

Unknown: 00:05:01

protect you at the same time, keeping you in a very confined

Unknown: 00:05:06

space, mind, space, emotional space, and space where it is

Unknown: 00:05:12

very hard to connect with other people, new people, or to

Unknown: 00:05:18

experience new things in life and to grow and to learn and to

Unknown: 00:05:26

expand to love. So your mind keeps you in that small space of

Unknown: 00:05:31

anxiety and negativity because it wants to protect you, because

Unknown: 00:05:36

of a past pain, like wound disappointment. Now, if you can

Unknown: 00:05:44

cut through this in the future, and learn to discern what is

Unknown: 00:05:49

really a threat, and what is my, you know, default system, trying

Unknown: 00:05:55

to protect me from but that might not need protection from

Unknown: 00:06:00

any more, then you can live a life in self control in love,

Unknown: 00:06:09

and openness and curiosity and engagement with the people and

Unknown: 00:06:16

environment around you. So I think my message today is that

Unknown: 00:06:23

you become a detective of your thoughts, and you no longer

Unknown: 00:06:28

identify with your thoughts. And it's hard for me to say that

Unknown: 00:06:33

there is good thoughts and bad thoughts, thoughts, because they

Unknown: 00:06:36

all serve a purpose. But when it comes to anxious limiting

Unknown: 00:06:40

beliefs in the future, I want you to question these thoughts

Unknown: 00:06:48

first. So it can be thoughts of judgment, it can be, like all or

Unknown: 00:06:53

nothing thoughts, like, always or never, right, this person

Unknown: 00:06:59

always is late, this person never cleans up after

Unknown: 00:07:03

themselves. This party I'm not going to attend, because it's

Unknown: 00:07:08

always boring. When I go somewhere. I'm not going to go

Unknown: 00:07:13

to the grocery store, because it always makes me anxious. Like,

Unknown: 00:07:17

these thoughts are repetitive, and are annoying and are

Unknown: 00:07:24

limiting. And I want you to dissect these thoughts in the

Unknown: 00:07:29

future. And to question them as if it was, you know, an over

Unknown: 00:07:37

overly, overly smothering parent or a friend who is always

Unknown: 00:07:44

questioning things and always read when you come up with an

Unknown: 00:07:47

idea. Oh, let's do this that Yeah, but no, I don't think so.

Unknown: 00:07:52

And then they share their limit limiting beliefs. So to

Unknown: 00:07:58

personify right to turn into a person, your negative thoughts,

Unknown: 00:08:04

your anxious beliefs, and to really ask and wonder, really,

Unknown: 00:08:12

is it always the case? Right? Is it always boring when you go to

Unknown: 00:08:19

parties and gatherings? Are you always anxious when you go to

Unknown: 00:08:25

the grocery store?

Unknown: 00:08:28

Are all women. Scary and not worth of trust? Are all men

Unknown: 00:08:35

cheaters. So it's very easy to identify these limiting beliefs

Unknown: 00:08:41

and thoughts because they're usually very radical. And

Unknown: 00:08:45

they're usually very one sided. And once you give them a little

Unknown: 00:08:50

bit more attention, or dissect them question them, you will

Unknown: 00:08:56

find out very quickly that no, it is not always the case. No,

Unknown: 00:09:01

it is not never. And no, there is other angles to approach this

Unknown: 00:09:09

scenario. Or when it comes to a person. We can ask questions

Unknown: 00:09:13

before making assumptions and conclusions about a person with

Unknown: 00:09:17

limiting beliefs and anxiety. We can ask questions, right? If

Unknown: 00:09:23

you're about to date a new person, and you were very hurt.

Unknown: 00:09:28

In the past, your mind will come up with some fabulous ideas on

Unknown: 00:09:33

how to get rid of that person and why they are not

Unknown: 00:09:35

trustworthy. Because you're putting yourself out there

Unknown: 00:09:38

again, you're doing something brave, and your mind will try to

Unknown: 00:09:42

keep you in a situation where you can't potentially get hurt

Unknown: 00:09:46

again. But what that does if you follow it without questioning

Unknown: 00:09:51

it, is that you close yourself up to new experiences and you're

Unknown: 00:09:57

shutting yourself down. I'm in front of love, in front of

Unknown: 00:10:03

goodness, goodness that could happen to you. So to discern and

Unknown: 00:10:10

to question and to ask, and to maybe even write down all the

Unknown: 00:10:17

stuff that comes up. And then when you look at the stuff that

Unknown: 00:10:20

you're writing down to see all this is my heart speaking, this

Unknown: 00:10:25

is me speaking from a place of trust, love, courage, curiosity

Unknown: 00:10:32

and engagement. And then maybe you can read further. And then

Unknown: 00:10:36

you can notice Oh, and this down here is my overly smothering ego

Unknown: 00:10:43

and mind that drags everything under the dirt and sees only the

Unknown: 00:10:50

negative only the bad, wants to be aggressive and assertive, and

Unknown: 00:10:54

always feels as not enough. This is my herd in a child that steal

Unknown: 00:11:01

things that are not lovable. And that way you can become the

Unknown: 00:11:07

master of your thoughts. And no longer the victim of your

Unknown: 00:11:14

erratic and negative thinking and conclusion making an

Unknown: 00:11:18

assumption making it is so so important to allow space and

Unknown: 00:11:24

time and silence to get behind your thinking. How do you

Unknown: 00:11:31

process this world? How do you engage with people relate to

Unknown: 00:11:36

people, and if you don't like what you see, if you constantly

Unknown: 00:11:41

have an outcome, or scenarios that you really don't like, then

Unknown: 00:11:47

you have to go down to the bottom. And notice your thinking

Unknown: 00:11:53

patterns, especially the negative and the anxious ones,

Unknown: 00:11:57

because those are the ones that keep you caged in. All right, my

Unknown: 00:12:04

dear friend, this is the message of today. As always, I'm excited

Unknown: 00:12:09

to receive feedback from you, or episode requests. And as I

Unknown: 00:12:15

mentioned, at the beginning of the episode, I have a physical

Unknown: 00:12:19

location now called the year experience. Check it out in the

Unknown: 00:12:24

show notes, where I invite people who went through divorce

Unknown: 00:12:28

and heartbreak and, you know, rough phases in their life to

Unknown: 00:12:34

come on out and to work on themselves to liberate

Unknown: 00:12:38

themselves from past pain, in order to step into the present

Unknown: 00:12:43

and the future, with a confident and courageous heart. And, yeah,

Unknown: 00:12:51

that is it for today. I'm sending you out into the rest of

Unknown: 00:12:55

your day, beginning of the day, end of the day, with so much

Unknown: 00:13:00

love, and I'm excited to connect with you very soon again. Take

Unknown: 00:13:06

care. Bye bye
