They say that your thoughts become your beliefs, which become your actions. Our words are our thoughts verbalised, so we need consideration of the words and phrases that become part of our vocabulary. Those that we just seem to accept and adopt into our lives.

I’ve been thinking about boats recently. And until a few weeks ago, I didn’t realise how often they’ve featured in my life, and maybe yours too. Specifically, these three idioms:

‘We’re all in the same boat’

‘Missed the boat’

‘Don’t rock the boat’

This episode is a sample of my monthly e-letter The RemindHer. There I do a written version of what I do on the podcast, as well as letting you know about the latest things I’m trying, doing, succeeding and failing at on my own journey of self-doubt to self-trust. If you’d like to receive the RemindHer, you can sign up here. And, if you sign up in the next fortnight, you’ll receive a free audio guide ‘The Halfway Point’ which is a journalling session I created to help you write a letter to your future self.

Want to spend a bit more time mulling this over? Head to the blog post for a few journal prompts to accompany today’s episode.
