The way you talk to yourself creates your reality. According to my guest, your greatest life problems stem from the lies you are telling yourself. For example, if you tell yourself that you 'can't' do something, you won't. Because if you don't believe something is achievable before you even start, you are not going to work half as hard for it. My guest for today is Marisa Peer, who has been a previous guest (episode 164) of this show, where she delved deep into Rapid Transformational Therapy. In this episode, she talks about her new book, Tell Yourself a Better Lie. In addition, she shares the importance of positive self-talk to build your life into what you want. She also talks about how to stop destructive criticism in your life, the importance of self-praise and self-worth, how to step out of your comfort zone, and how to rewrite your life's story. Tune in!
