STRESSPROOF Podcast

If your old way of thinking got you INTO burnout, then how do you need to think during burnout?

When we aren't managing our thoughts it's easy to start wondering, "What's wrong with me?", especially when we KNOW, intellectually, that nothing is THAT bad.

And we start searching for obscure articles on google trying to find the answer for why we feel terrible despite having a perfectly good life.

Ironically, because this action presupposes that something is wrong, we end up perpetuating feeling terrible when the truth is, nothing is wrong and all we had to do was manage the thoughts in our brain!

In many of the cases I've seen, the reason why we feel like there is something wrong with US, is because we've unintentionally started suffering without a hard circumstance.

This looks like asking all the wrong questions that inevitably have terrible answers for circumstances that haven't occurred yet. Such as the future promotion, potential relationship, finances, etc.

Listen as I explain why we need to create a new circumstance so that we can work from the facts instead of suffering in our own thoughts.

What if I told you that the reason why we seek approval is because we don't approve of our own self first?

Think about it, if you 100% believed in yourself, ideas, product, and services, it wouldn't matter what anyone thinks because you believe in yourself first.

On the other hand, if someone else's thought is supporting YOUR THOUGHTS of disapproval or doubt of what you have to offer the world, then to the unmanaged brain, it becomes second nature to constantly seek the people who DO approve so that we prove to our own selves that what we have to offer is valid and worthy.

The only problem is that there will always be someone who disapproves.

Listen to this episode where I share what approval is and how to stop seeking it so that you can stop spending your precious time and energy on other people, and invest it in yourself instead.

This one simple mindset shift might be the difference between staying STUCK in fear, worry, and doubt, to getting back into the ZONE and into alignment.

Most people who remain struggling and stressed center their attention on the "Why" questions and thoughts. And once we overstay our welcome in the "Why", we end up in massive resistance that holds us back from showing up as our future selves who ultimately holds the solution. Because let's be honest, your future self isn't wondering "why", they are taking aligned action because they see the solution!

Listen as I share one simple mindset shift that will help you to re-frame your specific situation so that you can show up as confident, free, and as the author of your own life.
