Wealthy Optimist Podcast

Ever had thoughts on a loop that seem out of your control? Struggled with fears or anxious thoughts popping into your head that send your mind spiralling? In this episode I break down how you can think about what you're thinking about - and no, it's not as confusing as it sounds! It's called metacognition. The literal act of thinking about your thoughts.  I give a few examples of how you can do this, and we briefly talk about how you can use this as a tool to stop obsessive thought patterns and become more self-aware, which will lead to a more positive life as you have healthier thought patterns.  To read more about metacognition visit: https://wealthyoptimist.medium.com/its-not-the-thoughts-that-hurt-you-but-thinking-that-you-can-t-control-them-b58889c9c4ee #metacognition #obssessivethinking #thoughtprocesses

We can experience so many different emotions throughout the day, and letting our emotions rule us is a surefire way to feel the worst. To stop yourself from getting trapped in a loop or stuck in a certain emotional state, there are many ways you can use activities and actions to shift your mindset fairly quickly.  In this episode, I share with you several ways that you can take a negative emotion, like anger, and shift it to release yourself from its grasp before it becomes overwhelming. Learning how to self-regulate your emotions is essential for living a happier, more stable life.

I was talking with one of my good friends, Whitney, today and she mentioned that maybe I am depressed because I am feeling situational depression - not actually clinically depressed. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that she was bang on the money. I had been so caught up in my cycle of stress that I forgot I even talk about this in my book, 'Positive Power: 12 Steps to Mastering Your Mindset'!   The situations we put ourselves in can make or break us. We can move to a new city thinking it will be the right thing for us, but it ends up taking us farther away from what we actually wanted. We can spend time with friends who we thought were fun, but actually, drain us of our energy because they don't align with our goals.    This podcast is all about how to notice when you're being affected by your situations, how to take an inventory of that, and then how to shift it, shake it off or let go of any situations that aren't serving your life purpose.    For more information or to book a one on one session with me, drop me a line at thewealthyoptimist@gmail.com or visit www.wealthyoptimist.com    Love Sarah xoxo    #situationaldepression #anxietytherapy #mindsetwork
