Summary

Did you know that about 85% of the things we worry about never actually happen? And of the 15% that do happen, they rarely turn out as bad as we think. Mind-blowing, right? 😲 We'll chat about those sneaky automatic negative thoughts that like to play the 'doom and gloom' soundtrack in our minds, jumping from a simple worry to the end of the world in a heartbeat. But don't worry, we're going to tackle this together! This episode is packed with real-life examples and personal stories to show just how much catastrophizing can affect us – from chronic pain to ADHD misdiagnoses. But here’s the good news: we can overcome this! We’ll talk about shifting our focus to what we WANT, embracing uncertainty, and taking those baby steps towards our dreams. 🚀 Remember, it's all about replacing those negative thoughts with positive ones and not letting fear hold us back. So, let's start imagining the best possibilities and make small, consistent strides in the direction of our goals. If you find this episode helpful, share it with someone who might need to hear it. And if you haven't already, check out my book "Level Up: How to Get Focused, Stop Procrastinating, and Upgrade Your Life" for more insights into taking action and transforming your life.

0:41.0	our reality from what's actually truly happening and how that holds us back
0:46.2	more than anything else.

0:55.9	catastrophizing different areas of your life so that you stop holding yourself
1:00.6	back but also give you some tools to get yourself out of it
