Summary

While working with a therapist treating my eating disorder he taught me that thoughts affect your feelings, and your actions. With that in mind, I have sort of an unpopular opinion, a belief that has been true for me, that life's circumstances are not completely neutral. So while our thoughts are vital, a year like 2020 taught us that circumstances matter, especially when things become so out of our control. I do believe we still have a choice to make about how we show up in the midst of our circumstances and encourage you to take control of your own story. Tune in for a few examples of how this has played out for me and the way I use my thoughts and agency to stay true to myself despite my circumstances. About a few other things...

0:00.0	are you ready for a growth spurt? Well, I've caught one for you today. One to two times a month,
0:12.9	I'll give you a short message that I am calling a growth spurt that will help you narrow in on our
0:18.8	focus of the month in ways that are bite size and super applicable right away. So let's jump on in.
0:25.2	Have you seen this kind of trend happening on Instagram stories where the influencer or whoever
0:34.6	you are following shares an unpopular opinion? And usually there are things like Cheetos are gross
0:40.4	or down to an abbey was the worst show on television like something like that. Well, today I have
0:46.6	an unpopular opinion for you. And this is totally, like I said, an opinion. It's my perspective,
0:53.5	it's definitely my lived experience and it's something I want to teach a little differently
0:59.3	about today in ways that maybe you're not accustomed to hearing. I'm going to back up by just saying
1:04.8	way back when I started my eating disorder recovery when I was 20 years old and going to a
1:11.4	college counselor to work on my eating disorders. He taught me something there that has become a
1:18.1	tool that I have used for over 15 years since and there has been 16 years. I can't keep track.

1:32.3	cognitive triangle is the way that you think affects the way you feel and your feelings affect
1:38.6	the way that you behave. That's the cognitive triangle. You might have seen this cognitive triangle
1:44.4	or the thought, the line of thinking that your thoughts affect the way you feel which affects
1:48.4	your actions with life coaching and their own framework. They have their own way of explaining
1:54.2	how your thoughts affect your feelings and it's often taught as independent of your circumstances.
2:01.1	Your thoughts can affect your feelings and then affect your behaviors.
2:05.6	Now, this is where my unpopular opinion comes in. I do want to say that this absolutely
2:11.2	can change your life when you acknowledge how much power your thoughts have and they do
2:16.6	and how you can learn to control them, which you can, not 100%, but it is something that you can
