Having a book exist out in the physical world is a surreal experience. I’m super proud of this book and the amount of work it took to write, market, and sell it. However, it also feels anticlimactic, and I’m telling you why on this episode.
In this last episode of the Feminist Mindset Principles Series, you’re going to learn how to use the concepts and tools we’ve explored so far to become the future version of yourself, and how this evolution creates a better future for the world. I’ve come to see this process as creating my feminist future self, and I’m showing you how to start.
Learn why you can’t just hope or promise to be different and expect it to magically happen. I’m showing you why we tend to jump to this place of delusion, how your thoughts and feelings are influencing your actions, and what you must change today if you want to take different actions in the future.
Learn the one crucial skill you need to learn in order to successfully change your beliefs and two of the biggest brain blocks to look out for. I’m showing you why it feels challenging to start believing something new, why coming up with new powerful beliefs is great for your brain health and self-concept, and how to start building new neural pathways in your brain.
Discover why unpleasant emotions in your body don’t actually translate to your reality, and how our brains make negative emotions feel worse than they are. You’ll learn what happens when you’re in emotional resistance, and how to turn the dial back down on your negative emotions so they become more tolerable or even disappear altogether.
You’ve probably heard of the idea that not all of your thoughts are true or that you don’t have to believe everything you think. But I want to take it one step further. I want to flip the assumption that any of our thoughts are true. And we’re thinking, what if they might all be lies or they might all be wrong? And if so, then how do we decide what to think? That’s what I’m going to get into in this episode. Hold on to your metaphorical hats because it is a wild existential ride.
