Clarity on Fire

Side Chat: When to trust (& when NOT to trust) your own thoughts


Listen Later

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

Just quoting some casual Hamlet at you today! But hey, the Bard was right—most of what we perceive as good or bad, right or wrong isn't set in stone. How we decide to label things matters.

And maybe it's not so much our thoughts that are the problem, but our thoughts about our thoughts.

On that philosophical note we're diving into a brand-new Side Chat. Listen in as we get into…

  • A conundrum a client brought up recently—should she heed the impulse to burn everything down and start over, or mistrust that desire?
  • Signs your thoughts are untrustworthy and unhealthy
  • And what to do if you can't figure out whether to trust your thoughts or not

Leave a comment after you've listened to share how this mind-bender resonated with you!
