Summary
Powerful motivational minisode on tap for you guys today! Yes, you read it right: I want you to turn off the thought faucet!
One of most destructive things keeping us from our goals and our highest potential is the way we leave reality, retreat into our minds and manufacture worries, problems, concerns, doubts and fears.
Not only does this generate a state where we feel anxious and powerless, it also takes us out of the moment, preventing us from seizing opportunities to take action in the direction of our goals.
In this motivational minisode I want to help you identify strategies to successfully turn off the thought faucet but I also want you to understand and accept a few powerful realities:
- Your thoughts are not facts
- You are not your thoughts
- You are the thinker - you are in control
