In this episode of Thoughts We Share, we dive into the science behind negative thinking and why our brains often default to the worst-case scenario. We explore how procrastination is linked to fear and self-doubt, and why so many of us stay stuck in the story of who we “used to be” instead of stepping into growth.

You’ll learn practical tools to:

    •    Understand why your brain leans negative

    •    Break free from procrastination cycles

    •    Let go of old versions of yourself

    •    Rewire your thoughts for a more positive, forward-focused mindset

If you’ve ever caught yourself asking “what if I fail?”this conversation will help you shift into “what if it works out?”.

In this episode we discuss how we hold ourselves back from becoming newer better versions of ourselves, because we are afraid of what is to come. We talk about limiting beliefs, grieving our old selves and shedding past relationships and memories that we want to hold on to so dearly but we know for a fact that we need to let them go.

If this sounds like something you need to hear, listen to our podcast and share your thoughts with us.

In today's episode we discuss an interview we watched of Yvette Nicole Brown on the Woman of Impact Show with Lisa Bilyeu where she spoke on how she got married for the first time at the age of 53. We speak on the most dreaded question of our generation ' When are you going to get married?' and the effects of that question and how it leads to settling, pressure and losing sight of your values.
