Summary
In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael continue the discussion on self-sabotaging thoughts and behavior, this week focusing on helplessness and how it prevents us from fulfilling our potential. Tune in as they explore how taking actions – big or small – that go directly against our helpless beliefs empowers us to create positive change in our lives.
We can diminish our belief that we are helpless by choosing to change our mindset and truly opening ourselves to solutions – even when the solution isn’t what we thought it would be. – Monica Berg
