Summary
Did you know that our brains are wired to default to worst-case scenarios? When we allow a worst-case mindset to take hold, this can hold us back from taking risks and making changes necessary for an extraordinary life to unfold.
Host Tonya Leigh challenges listeners to play the role of their angel's advocate by focusing on best-case scenarios. Tonya shares her personal experience of making big changes in her business and how focusing on best-case scenarios has helped her overcome fear and create a better life. She explains the pain-pleasure principle and how visualizing best-case scenarios and associating pain with staying in the current situation can motivate us to take action. Tonya emphasizes the importance of self-image and how our expectations shape our future. She encourages listeners to imagine and believe in best-case scenarios, take action to confirm their beliefs and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

| 0:00.0 | Most people spend a lot of time playing Devil's Advocate, but in this episode I want to challenge you that it's time to play a different role. |
| 0:10.0 | I call it your angels advocate. |
| 0:12.8 | This is the role of looking for, finding, and focusing on best case scenarios. |
| 0:19.0 | So, let's dive in. |
| 0:27.0 | Welcome to the School of Self Image, where personal development meets style. |
| 0:30.0 | Here's your hostess Master Life coach, Tanya Lee. |
| 0:35.0 | Hello, friends. |
| 0:37.0 | I am recording this at 6 PM, and it feels like it's like 11 PM. It feels like I should be in my PJs getting ready for bed. I am so |
| 0:47.9 | confused as to why we fall back this time of year with our clocks. I don't like it. Anybody with me? I do not like these early dark days. I like having my sunshine, my sunlight, but nevertheless I'm not |
| 1:07.0 | complaining, well maybe I am a little bit, but I can't change it so instead I'm just recording a podcast. I usually do these |
| 1:16.2 | podcasts earlier so I might be a little loopy because that's what happens later in the |
| 1:21.4 | day for me but I have had such a full week when I say full, |

| 1:41.1 | but I have decided to make some really big changes within the business and if you're in the membership I will be sharing what those changes are |
| 1:50.0 | but it's been exciting and also challenging in a good way and also scary. And so today's |
| 2:00.4 | episode is just as much for me as it is for you, |
| 2:04.5 | because I want to talk about best case scenarios. |
| 2:09.8 | How much of your time would you say that you spend thinking about best possible |
| 2:16.9 | scenarios, best possible outcomes? The majority of people that I asked that question too when they really think about it, it's very little time. |
| 2:26.0 | Without managing our minds, we automatically go to the worst possible thing that could happen. My brain wants to do this too. But what I know to be true is that if I didn't manage that part of my brain, I wouldn't do anything outside of the known. That's the thing with the |
| 2:45.7 | brain. It doesn't want to change. And so it is going to try to scare you from |
| 2:51.5 | making changes, taking risks, going out there and doing things you've never done before, |
