I want to talk about sneaky negativity. Have you ever noticed how some thoughts don't sound

negative, but they leave you feeling smaller? Thoughts like, I should be further along. I'm just

being realistic. I'm fine. I'm just tired. They're not dramatic. They're not overtly or are obviously negative or harmful,

but they tightly and quietly get inside of you. They tighten your chest. They drain your momentum.

They dim your energy. The day feels harder. And then you don't even realize it's happening.

And that's what sneaky negativity does.

It's the negativity that doesn't look like negativity at all.

And it looks sometimes like logic.

It looks sometimes like being grown up.

It looks like you're just stating the facts like you're tired.

And yet, these subtle, sneaky,

negative thoughts might be the exact reason why your confidence feels lower than you want it to,

why your goals feel harder than they should, and why your mind feels heavier when life

looks, quote unquote, fine. You might find that you are actually the most negative person in your life,

and when we do that, we can then change it. This is not to call you out to make you feel bad,

but to empower you by exposing the thoughts that are actually holding you back. We're going to get

rid of those sneaky thoughts and replace them with powerful ones because you cannot

create a positive life from a negative mind. You're listening to the Confidence Podcast, your go-to
