Think Like the You You’re Becoming

In this heartfelt and zesty episode, Sheri Flake dives into one of the most transformative (and tricky!) mindset shifts of all: thinking like the version of you that you want to become. With wit, warmth, and wisdom from decades of therapy work, she unpacks why we’re not our thoughts—and how to separate from them using meditation, mindfulness, and sneaky brain hacks. This episode includes a powerful guided mantra meditation using Ham Sa (“I am that”), and even features an original song, “Joy,” by her band 13 Stories, written 18 years ago with this very message in mind. ✨ 🌟 Key Learning Points:

You are not your thoughts—you're the one noticing them. Meditation helps you see that thoughts are just options, not truths.
Convince your toddler brain. Use affirmations with emotion and storytelling to make your beliefs feel real and sticky.
Flip the 'what ifs' to serve you. Instead of catastrophizing, play out best-case scenarios with emotional clarity.

📣 Mentions & Shout-Outs:

💻 Byron Katie’s “The Work” — Mind-shifting reframing tools.
📖 Bhagavad Gita translated by Stephen Mitchell — A poetic and soulful sacred text.
🎶 “Joy” by 13 Stories — Sheri’s song featured by Wayne Dyer on Hay House Radio.
🎤 Wayne Dyer’s Inspiration Show on Hay House — For the spiritual spark plug vibe.
🧠 Tip: Label your thoughts (“future,” “worry,” “planning”) to make them easier to release.
🦋 Butterfly "what-ifs" — A sweet metaphor for gently redirecting anxious or repetitive thoughts.
