In this episode: Breaking through the doubt cloud Looking for evidence that you CAN Choosing your own “hard” Catching yourself in the moment of doubt Our brain’s job is to protect us & keep us safe - it’s literally how we are wired - especially if you are ever pushing for a goal that you have previously been disappointed by. You know what I’m talking about, when your mind will actually simmer down your own excitement for something so that in case you miss the goal, the fall won’t be as hard. Well, it’s time to say BUH-BYE to that part of our brain because we’re not here to live a lukewarm life where we aren’t pushing for goals that scare us, am I right? I recently navigated this exact scenario in real time, very quickly, and I definitely wanted to share some insight into HOW I changed my mindset to STAY excited using what I call the ANCHOR experience.   Quotes: “It’s never been the issue that you’re not capable, it’s been the issue that you haven’t managed your mindset.” “We have to expect that the first time is the hardest because it’s the most unfamiliar, we’ve never been there.” “That distance between where you are now and where you wanna go, that’s going to give you a powerful tool of resiliency.” “At the end of this life, we are not going to be proud of the things that came handed to us on a silver platter that were easy, we don’t brag about the easy things. We are proud of ourselves for the things that we did when we didn’t think that we could.”   Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?
