Empowered by Darkness

Shifting limiting beliefs can be especially difficult when our immediate reality doesn’t provide us with proof that we can attain our heart’s desires. And while there’s self-worth work to be done here, as well as maybe relational trauma work and unconscious beliefs needing to be analyzed spanning back to childhood, you can do one thing today that will radically shift your perception. That is searching for what proves your pain-informed beliefs wrong. Let me show you how easy doing this can be by sharing some examples of my own journey.

What are you currently distracting yourself with? My go-to distraction would always be downloading the dating app and swiping. Whether it was because I felt lonely, overwhelmed with my healing journey, in a self-hatred spiral, or just feeling completely unlovable, the app was what I perceived as a healing balm. In reality, it was a stepping stone toward falling back into codependency and powerlessness.

This episode breaks down the science of distractions as I’ve learned it in my path: antecedent, behavior, and consequence. Each part of this process matters, but you’ll especially see how knowing one’s antecedent is a game changer. There’s no need to continue normalizing the distraction if it’s doing you more harm than good. Take it from someone that’s been there: you can find a more lasting healing balm that feels just as, if not, more soothing than the distraction.
