Positive Thinking Mind

Today I want to challenge a belief that so many of us fall into—especially in the world of personal growth.  You are not broken. You don't need to fix yourself like a busted machine.  Instead, what if the real transformation begins when you stop trying to cut out your flaws and start integrating all parts of yourself—yes, even the messy ones?  

People talk about reprogramming your mind like it's updating an app. “Just install some affirmations, visualize your dream life, and boom—you're reprogrammed!” If only it were that easy. The truth is, your mind isn't a machine. It's more like a garden. And if you want to grow something beautiful, you've got to consistently pull the weeds and plant the right seeds. Rewiring your subconscious takes time, intention, and a few key shifts. Here are 7 practical ways to get started.  

Are you tired of feeling lazy, stuck, or constantly unmotivated? In this video, I'll walk you through five real steps to help you get your energy back, take control of your day, and actually start building the life you want.   Build Confidence. Be Happier. Think Positive. Feel Better – | https://bit.ly/ptmYT

Every single day. With every thought, every word, every mental loop. So today, we're talking about how to take that steering wheel back. Let's Start Here: You're Already Brainwashing Yourself It sounds dramatic, but it's true. You don't need a cult leader or a shady YouTube rabbit hole to be brainwashed. You're doing it yourself—just by what you repeat. Every time you think, "I always mess this up," or "I'll never figure this out," it's like carving a groove in your brain.   Want to go deeper? I made a free guide called *Tips for a Positive Mindset* that shares 7 simple ways to shift your thinking and feel better—starting today. You can download it here

Ever catch yourself replaying that one awkward moment over and over—even after a great day? Or focusing on the one criticism instead of all the compliments? That's not you being overly sensitive. That's something deeper… and it's messing with more of your life than you realize. In this video, we're diving into negativity bias—how it quietly shapes your thoughts, decisions, relationships, and self-worth. And more importantly, how to break free from it.  

Struggling to stay consistent? Feel like you're always starting over? You don't need more motivation—you need self-discipline. In this video, I'm breaking down the real reason success feels out of reach for so many people. We'll talk about how to stop quitting on yourself, why comfort is costing you more than you think, and how to finally build the habits that stick.  

I just want to tell you something, you're already enough. Not because you hit a certain goal.  Not because you said all the right things today.  Not because you managed to keep it all together. You're enough simply because you're here.

Today, I want to share a few tiny truths that helped me breathe easier, stress less, and stop being my own worst critic.  Maybe they'll do something for you too.  

Six months.  That's all it takes to turn everything around.  It's not some gimmick, not a feel-good fantasy—just real, focused effort applied in the right way.  If you've ever felt stuck, like your life is on autopilot, this is your wake-up call.  You don't need a perfect plan, unlimited time, or luck.  You need commitment, a clear direction, and a willingness to go all in.  Today, I'm giving you the exact steps to make sure six months from now, you barely recognize the old version of yourself.  

Remember when you started this year with a fire in your chest, ready to make 2025 different?  If you're like most people, that fire started fading by the end of January.  Life got busy. Old habits crept back in. The excitement wore off. But here's the thing—it's March, not December. You haven't lost the year.  You don't need a fresh start, you just need to keep going.  The reason most people fall off track isn't because they lack motivation—it's because they're still carrying the same weight that held them back last year. So before you try to push forward, let's clear some space.  Seven things that are slowing you down, stealing your energy, and keeping you stuck.   

Today, we're talking about something that can completely change the way you experience life—self-reflection, and questioning what you're thinking.  This isn't just another mindset trick or a productivity hack.  It's about learning to question the thoughts and beliefs that shape your reality, so you can stop being controlled by them and start making real, conscious choices. The real change started when I stopped adding and started questioning.   

Have you ever had anxiety hit you out of nowhere?  Anxious for no reason? One minute you're fine, and the next, your heart races, your stomach feels uneasy, or your thoughts are spinning.  It's overwhelming, and naturally, you start thinking, “What's wrong with me?” or “Why am I feeling this way?”  "Why am I anxious?" Let's break this down together, I'll share with you why this happens and what you can do about it with some simple techniques.   In this podcast:

When someone you trust turns their back on you, it feels like the ground has been pulled out from under you. You might be feeling that sting right now—the kind of hurt that shakes you at your core. A friend, someone you thought had your back, betrayed you, and now you're left questioning everything: your judgment, your trust, maybe even yourself. ______________________________________

Today, we'll be practicing a box breathing technique for anxiety. I have anxiety and I find this technique very helpful in relieving it and calming myself to where I'm more comfortable. If you've never done it before, no worries—I'll guide you through each step. ______________________________________

In a world filled with social media highlights and constant streams of achievements, it's important to find peace within ourselves and focus on our personal growth rather than constantly comparing ourselves to others.  ______________________________________

Overcoming fear is one of the most freeing experiences.  Fear can sneak into different areas of life and make us feel stuck, uncertain, or even powerless.  We can never eliminate fear; it's 100% impossible to do. But there are ways to cope and minimize what you're feeling. Here are 5 ways to start overcoming fear in a real, practical way. ______________________________________

Emotional wounds can take a long time to heal, but patience and effort make the process possible.  Think of caring for yourself like treating a physical injury—acknowledging the pain, giving it attention, and working on it until it mends. When I look back at my own experiences, one thing stands out: I used to avoid dealing with emotional hurt.  I would distract myself or push it down, thinking that would make it go away, but it didn't.  The longer I ignored it, the worse it felt.  ______________________________________

If you're having a tough time getting some rest, you're not sleeping at night, and anxiety is taking a toll on your ability to relax and sleep well.  You're not alone in this; many of us have been there. As soon as you lie down, your mind starts racing.  You worry about everything or replay the mistakes you made.  

Today, I'm excited to share five journaling strategies that have helped me manage anxiety in my own life.  I've found these strategies helpful, and I use them regularly. Here are two journals I use.  The Five Minute Journal - https://amzn.to/4dECtOd Worry For Nothing Journal - https://amzn.to/4dHzgxr  

Are they a narcissist or just a jerk?  How do you tell the difference? One of the most pivotal skills we can develop as we journey through life is understanding the people around us, especially those who challenge us.  Today, I want to guide you through a crucial distinction: identifying whether someone is displaying signs of narcissism or simply acting like a jerk.  This isn't just about labeling; it's about equipping you with the knowledge to protect and empower yourselves in your relationships.  

When you constantly need to justify yourself, you give away your power and place your worth in someone else's hands. But here's the thing—your self-worth isn't dependent on what others think of you. It's about how you see yourself and your confidence in your decisions.  

Have you ever wondered if your partner might be emotionally immature?  Are they always blaming others and deflecting responsibility? Do they lack empathy and not understand what you're going through? These questions often sneak into our minds, especially when we encounter certain behaviors that don't match the mature, responsible adult we hope to share our lives with. So, let's dive in and explore what emotional immaturity looks like in a partner.    *** Join The Confidence Key! ***

Today, I'm tackling how to stop the worry cycle head-on. Do you worry or ruminate? Unfortunately, my brain turns on at 2 a.m., and I start thinking and worrying, which leads to not sleeping. Worry is like a constant hum in the background of our daily lives.  But what happens when it gets louder, drowning out peace and clarity?  The Worry Cycle Let's jump into how to stop the worry cycle—what it is, why it happens, and how it affects us.    *** Join The Confidence Key! ***

Bitterness and resentment can invade our lives, often stemming from past grievances, unmet expectations, and perceived unfairness. Imagine carrying a backpack filled with stones, each one representing a grudge, a disappointment, or a past injustice.  With each step, the weight digs deeper, pulling you down, clouding your joy, and staining your relationships. This is what harboring bitterness and resentment can feel like a burdensome load. These feelings can undermine our happiness and disrupt our relationships if left unchecked. With all this negativity eating away at us, it's tough to let go, release these negative emotions, and move on. Let's go over some strategies to help you navigate away from bitterness and embrace emotional freedom.   *** Empower Your Life! ***

I want to chat about something that's been on my mind lately. It's about this habit some of us have, including myself, of bending over backward for people who don't seem to care. You know what I'm talking about. Pouring our energy into relationships or situations where the care and effort aren't reciprocated. First, let's acknowledge that it's natural to want to be liked and to make people happy. It shows you have a big heart.  But here's the thing: there's a fine line between caring and overextending yourself for those who barely acknowledge your efforts. Think about it. How often have you found yourself trying to win over someone's approval, changing aspects of yourself, or going out of your way to accommodate them, only to be met with indifference?  *** Empower Your Life! ***

We all have days where the weight of our responsibilities, unmet goals, or life's unpredictabilities make us feel low.  Such days can be challenging, especially when we lack the motivation to push forward.  However, remember that feelings of sadness or demotivation are just phases, and with the right strategies, you can navigate through them.    *** Empower Your Life! ***

You're not alone. We've all experienced moments of social nervousness.  It's that feeling of unease before a big presentation, the butterflies in your stomach when meeting new people, talking to co-workers, going on a date, or worrying about being judged in social gatherings.  But guess what? You can conquer it!  I'll walk through five practical steps to help you reduce social nervousness and feel more confident and relaxed in social situations.    *** Empower Your Life! ***

Isn't it something that we can get caught up in our heads, especially during conversations? It happens to the best of us. We find ourselves replaying dialogues, dissecting every word, and imagining a thousand different outcomes. This overthinking loop can be a party crasher, not just in our personal hangouts but also at work meetings, making those interactions way more stressful than they need to be. But guess what? There's a way out of the maze.    Eliminate Negativity and Empower Your Life, Come Join Me Today! https://positivethinkingmind.com/courses/   CONNECT: ➡️ Newsletter ➡️ Facebook ➡️ TikTok ➡️ Instagram *** SAY THANKS

If you want to reduce your emotional reactivity and get upset when things don't go your way, or at least how you think they should go, I've got some simple rules that could do wonders for you.  And no, it doesn't take much energy or willpower; it's all about raw, unfiltered honesty with yourself. Here are 10 ways to help you be less emotionally reactive:  

In simple terms, codependency is a behavioral pattern where one person relies excessively on another for emotional or psychological support.  It's when our sense of self-worth or emotional well-being intertwines with someone else's actions or feelings. It's natural to care about our loved ones and want the best for them. However, where we need to draw the line is when our happiness starts to rely solely on theirs.

Rumination can make you feel powerless, but there are some things you can do to break free and start feeling more in control. 

Learned helplessness and its grip can be as confining as any physical restraint, and the psychological implications of learned helplessness can manifest in many forms. If you've ever felt trapped in your own life, feeling unable to change your circumstances, emotions, thoughts, or outcomes, you've encountered this. There's a silver lining when it comes to learned helplessness! If you're even remotely feeling stuck or feel that achieving your goals seems impossible, there's still hope.  

One minute, you're laughing over coffee and sharing inside jokes, and the next, it's like your friend has turned into a ghost.  Poof—vanished.  Texts go unanswered, calls are ignored, and you're suddenly left wondering what happened. The pain you're experiencing can be just as agonizing, if not more than being ghosted by someone you're dating.  You're left grappling with a whirlwind of questions: Did I mess up? Do they hate me now? Will we ever talk again?

Do you constantly need to validate your actions and decisions based on other people's approval?  Do you stop yourself from doing something because you're waiting for their green light? Well, you're at the right place because, in this episode, we'll discuss how you don't need anyone's approval to feel good about yourself.  

Picture this, a successful person, always put together, with a list of achievements that goes on for miles.  But beneath that shiny exterior, there's a persistent hum of worry and concern that's never quite silenced.  This is the world of someone living with high-functioning anxiety. Typically we think of anxiety as panic attacks or clear avoidant behaviors; high-functioning anxiety paints a different picture. On one side, there's success, accomplishments, and composure.  On the other, a constant undercurrent of anxiety, a loop of worries and what-ifs that are always playing in the background.  

We have many reasons to worry, and a certain amount of worrying can be helpful as it directs our attention to issues that need to be managed.  However, when worry leads to constant anxiety, things have gone too far to be helpful.  We've all heard that we should breathe deeply when feeling anxious, but there are other possible solutions you may have never considered.  Try these ideas to deal with anxiety in a way that works for you.
