When Good Things Happen, Why Do We Brace for the Bad?


Listen Later

I used to believe that for every good thing that happened to me, something bad had to happen as well to even it out, like a universal balancing system. Every time something good was going to happen, I always thought to myself, “What will the payback be?” In my years of experience working with and talking to women, I have learned that lots of women live with this fear, often for a long time.

Listen in as I talk about why we have this fear, acknowledge that you’re not crazy for having it, and how to shift out of this kind of thinking so you can live your life with freedom instead of fear.

In this episode I discuss:
  • How fear keeps you from taking risks -  and how this protects and hinders us
  • How negativity bias is a symptom of adrenal overload
  • The role of the amygdala in fear
  • How your brain remembers threats
  • How negative emotions get attached to positive emotions
  • What happens when we go into fight or flight mode
  • What intuition really is
  • How to get out of this fear
  • The power of neuroplasticity
  • The importance of being aware of your feelings
  • How to use cognitive disruption to shift from fear to freedom
  • Why I love taking deep breaths
  • The value of journaling
  • How to practice forgiveness
