It is important to be aware of these pitfalls because so much of what you worry about never happens, and even when those things do happen, you almost always handle them better than expected. This knowledge can help you get out of thinking traps and shift your mindset to more beneficial processes.\n\n1.Taking things personally \u2013 Without context or clarity, it is impossible to know why people say or do the things they do. As such, personalizing and allowing yourself to draw conclusions based on your limited understanding of why that person cut you off on the highway can lead to self-sabotage.\n\n2.Black and white thinking \u2013 Recognizing that multiple truths can exist in the same situation for different people is essential to healthy interactions. Sometimes it is not clear cut, so you need to be flexible and open to hearing other perspectives before you jump to conclusions.\n\n3.Minimizing success \u2013 Laser focusing on failures is not only bad for your own wellbeing, but it has negative impacts on those around you. When you are caught in a cycle of minimizing your successes, you are not able to genuinely accept praise or compliments and eventually people will stop giving them. This doesn\u2019t mean that you should become narcistic, but work to find a good balance between humility and pride in your accomplishments and strengths.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Mental Health Awareness month\n\u2022Self-sabotage\n\u2022Mindset shifts\n\u2022Thinking traps\n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttps://kimiwalker.live/squad \nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/\nhttps://web.facebook.com/kimiwalker\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimiwalker \nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/KimiFitWell","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/066d31ff-6fdd-4188-b97d-93c55653df41/9c164c8cba071cdf25f7407196a1215d.jpg"}
