154 Expand Your Mindset


Listen Later

Today I talk about how to expand your mindset. Growing up as a highly sensitive person, most of us weren’t taught how to effectively work with a nervous system that overstimulates so quickly and easily. As a result, we often default to what I call “either/or thinking”.

 

“Either it’s perfect OR it’s a disaster.”

“Either I do only what I want right now or I’m stuck doing what I don’t want forever.”
“Either everything is easy and successful, not challenging, or I’m sad, stuck, stressed, angry, a failure, not having fun, and don’t know my purpose.”

 

Sound familiar?

 

Either/Or thinking is a learned behavior as a result of missed attempts to manage anxiety. And a very common experience for those of us who are highly sensitive.

 

This means – Good News Alert! – it can also be unlearned.

 

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to unravel yourself and expand your mindset from limited either/or thinking to access a both/and mindset instead – opening up a whole new world of possibilities and creative solutions.

 

“Either/Or thinking is the opposite of the process of re-return and recommitment.” – Heather Dominick
