We all have self-defeating thoughts. But it’s up to YOU to decide how to respond. Are you going to let those thoughts rule your life? Or are you going to get out of your own head and shift your perspective on the bad things that happened in the past—or could happen in the future? On this episode of Destined to Be, we share our top strategies for getting out of your own head, explaining how having a clearly defined vision of the future can shift your perspective on things that happened in the past (versus getting stuck reliving them). We explore the power of active meditation, describing how being present in whatever you are doing eliminates the fear and overwhelm attached to our automatic negative thoughts or ANTs. Listen in for insight on getting into a state of gratitude and learn how to make your problems smaller by helping someone else with theirs!
