EP 22 Negative vs Positive Thoughts and Reactions

Are you stuck in a cycle of disappointment? Are you feeling like you're living in a negative head space and/or complaining more lately? Or are you reacting to someone who's sharing their negative energy with you very generously? This is your episode! 

Negativity would love to steer and will try to if you don't combat it with thoughtful and logical control. You are human, and things will upset you understandably. BUT, you do not have to let negatively lead. YOU are leading. You can do things differently.

This episode will teach you how to challenge yourself to do things with a method I call logical response vs emotional reactivity. This handy tool will help you find awareness and eventually gain more control over how you react to people and situations.

Joy and positivity CAN lead with gratitude, the power of being present, and using the LR v ER tool. 

*Full discloser, during this episode, my window was open and the wind was blowing 65 degree summer air. It was bliss, and I couldn't bring myself to close to window. See if you can hear it, and allow it to soothe you as well.*

In this episode, I will also point out that living in a negative head space is typically an indicator that some or several needs are being neglected. It's often simple or basic, like needing more sleep or needing to eat a proper meal. Again, something to bring awareness to first and then CHOOSE better for yourself.

Disappointment, pessimism and negativity will always find you, but you don't have to always give in. Managing your expectations is a real thing. You'll learn that here.

I share personal stories of family dynamics on a vacation and of parenting, per usual, to drive these points home! Let me know if you can relate!
