The Self Set

I'm sharing a psychology concept that can help you re-wire your brain to build confidence and let go of insecurities. In this episode, you'll understand why you're more likely to remember criticism rather than compliments from other people. I share one practice way you can learn to love yourself and embrace who you want to be.

Do you ever feel like you're the ONLY who feels the way you do? You think you're the only one falling behind, failing, feeling anxious, feeling lost. You're not. There are so many other people who feel the way you do. The best way to remove the shame and to know that you're not alone is by sharing your honest struggles and getting real about how you feel. In this episode, we're getting real about how we feel, reminding ourselves that we're not alone, and breaking down HOW to be honest with others about our experiences and how to encourage others to do the same.

When you're stressed or upset, what do you tend to automatically do to comfort yourself? Maybe eating greasy food or scrolling IG for a couple of hours. In this episode, we're going to get honest about our go-to ways to cope with our emotions. We're also going to learn about the psychology of coping mechanisms and why we get hooked on habits that we know are negatively impacting us down the road. Plus we'll find a psychology-backed strategy that may help us switch to healthier coping mechanisms.

Here are four words my therapist said that changed my perspective around my negative or insecure thoughts. This question allows us to reframe our fears, question our thoughts and take back control over our mindset and emotions. Thoughts can be convincing, but thoughts aren't facts.

Self-Reflection Journal Prompt: Consider a recent insecure thought you've had (ie. "my coworker doesn't like me") Now question that thought and ask yourself "what if that's not true?" Find the evidence to support the opposite.

In this episode, I'm sharing why I'm not a fan of traditional self-help advice - especially simple advice like "just love yourself" or "follow your passion." This perspective shift may remind you that there's a different way to look at the advice you've heard so many times before. 
I'll also share what you can expect in upcoming episodes of The Self Set. Unique perspectives, psychology strategies, and self-reflection journal prompts.
