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 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've got to integrate it.

I definitely have had my fair share of imposter syndrome, of wondering if I, you know, 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 education.
