144. Dr. Cindra Kamphoff on Managing Fear and Reframing Adversity


Listen Later

In today's episode, we're discussing how to reframe adversity and manage fear.

Cindra has numerous tools that she talks about for reframing adversity. One that I liked, in particular, is asking yourself "why is this happening for me?", instead of "to me". This helps to view challenges in light of the growth opportunities. She also suggests asking yourself questions like:

  • What is the opportunity here?
  • How is this situation a gift?
  • What is amazing about my life/family?
  • What can I be grateful for?

Cindra shares facts about fear to highlight that fear is universal and that we can choose to act courageously.

In this conversation, Cindra also provides actionable steps for:

  • Overcoming negative bias
  • Developing mental toughness
  • Ways to train your mind daily with Grit Priming Exercises
  • Dealing with fear

I hope you'll enjoy listening to this episode and putting these strategies into action for yourself.

I want to thank Naked Nutrition for their ongoing sponsorship of this podcast. They make great dietary supplements without artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors. Only the purest ingredients - and everything is made in the USA.

I've been taking their Vanilla Whey Protein Powder for several weeks now and can confidently say that it's the best protein powder I've ever had: it tastes great and I know I'm not ingesting what I don't need. I've used a lot of different protein powders over the years and this is definitely my favorite.

I love that this protein powder has only 3 ingredients and the whey is sourced from grass fed cows' milk. For those looking for a plant-based option, Naked Nutrition has vegan protein powders as well.

I've also started taking their Naked Greens supplement, which is basically a powder of different vegetables, grasses, and leafy greens. It certainly tastes like grass (that's the point, I think) but I like the fact that I'm giving my body an extra dose of veggies.

Check out all their products and let me know what you think once you try them out!
