In this episode: Unpacking the boxes we put ourselves in How we think about our external circumstances Reframing the thoughts that don’t serve us I’m so excited you are here today for this short little pep talk because we are gonna talk about a man who got himself stuck in a refrigerated box car. Which might sound like I’ve lost my mind, but I promise, there are some juicy takeaways from this story. We are talking about happiness & the boxes we put ourselves in for what our potential happiness is based on external circumstances beyond our control. This is such an interesting concept that really affects us all, and I can’t wait to hear what you think, so let’s dive right in!   Quotes: “How are you letting your external circumstances affect your thoughts? And then, is that causing you unnecessary panic?” “I believe, you are too damn smart to let thoughts that aren’t serving you circle around in your head all day, because those thoughts might be keeping you stuck.” “You and only you are ultimately responsible for your thoughts, which drive your perception of the world and the behaviors that you choose.” “Let’s be the women who refuse to let our external circumstances get more weight in our life than they deserve.”   Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?
