Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I like the idea of challenging, of challenging thoughts, right? But the thing about

challenging thoughts is that the first step is that we have to write down the

limiting thoughts that have been there.

We have to write down the emotions that have been associated with those limiting thoughts.

And then we have to challenge those thoughts, like actively challenge them.

There's so many of us that are walking around this world

not having challenged a lot of those initial ideas

that we've created around ourselves

regardless of where they came from.

They could have been from a parent who told you you're you know you disappoint me

you're not good enough right and that manifested into a mental representation of

themselves as not being good enough right But we have to look at the

root and then challenge the root and then also like work on the emotional

piece. An emotional piece I like the work around emotions to be like very body centered because emotions are very

situated in the body and so it's a mind practice and that we're writing all these things down

but it's also a body practice.

It's an integration. It is. Always. You got to integrate it.

I definitely have had my fair share of imposter syndrome of wondering if I you know if if I meet the mark if I've been in spaces where I've been the only person that looks like me

I'm a black Latina right I'm from the working class. I've entered a lot of elite spaces

You know for, you know, for education, you know, I got an Ivy League education for my doctor and I was very much, you know, not seeing myself mirrored in a lot of these spaces.

So it definitely like made me wonder a lot.
