Summary

Do you ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts that feel impossible to break? It’s easy to get caught up in self-doubt, frustration, or fear, believing those thoughts as truths. But what if, in that moment, you could choose a different path? In today’s episode, I’m revisiting the Choose Again Method, a simple and powerful technique to help you shift negative thinking and build a more positive mindset.

This method is based on the idea that we don’t have to accept every thought that crosses our minds. The Choose Again Method involves three simple steps that help you choose a thought that feels better. It’s not about ignoring difficult emotions or forcing yourself into positivity; it’s about taking intentional steps to shift your thinking in a way that aligns with what you truly want. This method has been a game-changer for so many of my clients, and it can be just as impactful for you.
