Summary

Change is difficult and terrifying in general. To make a huge, dramatic shift in your life is terrifying because what you do is so based on your identity and that's probably the hardest part about that experience. There's more to it than just quitting a job and starting something new; it's about answering the question, "Who am I now?" It's all about the identity and the most difficult fear to overcome is regret. - Dr. Cortney Warren

Doesn't it drive you crazy to not know why events, whether good or bad, happen in life?

Well, here's the answer: just don't even think about it because we don't know why things happen and we never will. It's actually better for us if we just accept something and move on by focusing on our present reality.

In Wellness Force Radio episode 177, Clinical Psychologist, Researcher, TEDx Talk Speaker, and Author of Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception, Dr. Cortney Warren will share why the only certainty in life is change, how to observe and accept yourself without judgement, and how you can develop the psychological strength to change your life despite feelings of fear.

By the end of this episode, you will be able to uncover which of your thoughts are actually lies in order to end self-deception once and for all.

When you are ready for change, you are ready to grow.
