Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough and this is episode 335. I hope you're doing very well,

my friend. Now, today is Friday and I hope you are doing really, really well. If not,

hopefully this podcast will be able to give you a bit of an insight in how you can retrain your mind to be

able to react differently. You see, when anything happens in your life, the first decision that

you make, the first thing that happens is something which is unconscious. It is where you will automatically make a decision and most of the time your mind and body will carry it up.

Now the problem here is if you are in a place of issue or conflict, so if you're experiencing worries, if you're experiencing

doubts or anxieties or fears or low self-esteem, any of those things, what do you think

your decision is usually around?

Or the type of equality of a decision.

More often than not, if you experience those conflicts,

you will be making decisions unconsciously on

the thing that you don't want to happen, right?

So we know anxiety is focusing on all the things you don't want to happen.

We know that low self-esteem creates that poor self-image,

and if you have a poor self-image you will be creating

a decision based on the self-image you have about yourself or your identity. Now if you have an

identity of being totally worthy and good enough then the decision you make is going to be

very congruent in the best outcome for you. But if your way of seeing yourself or the

issue or the conflict is present in your mind at the time when something happens to you, that decision

will be based on that. You see, your perception of yourself, the perception of what you're capable of, will dictate

and evaluate what you will do in that situation.

Which is a big issue, right? We do not want that.
