If you’re familiar with the work I share here, you’ll know that it’s impossible for us to control other people or the world around us. The only thing we have control of is ourselves and our minds. The harder you grip and try to control someone or something, the more it will squirm away from you. The best news here is that you are wrong about what needs to happen for you to feel better, and I’m sharing what you can actually do instead.

Too often, we believe that the thoughts we have are unchangeable, and so we try to control everything outside of us to try to feel better, which is impossible. Instead, what I’m offering you today is a technique called neutral thoughts that will guide you in actively choosing thoughts that serve you.

Welcome to the first episode of this limited series! I’m doing this mini-series to help you all through the overwhelming stress and anxiety you might be experiencing right now, and over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing lots more tools to help you get centered and productive during times of uncertainty.

Join me this week to discover how you might be disempowering yourself by not embracing the agency you have over your own life. There is no right or wrong, failure or success. You can have any adventure you want, and there is no wrong story to write.

I know that a lot of you are experiencing a lot of uncertainty and anxiety around the news about COVID-19. This bonus episode I’m bringing you today is a recording of a webinar I did for my Clutch students around this on how to apply thought work to everything that’s going on right now; to help you manage your mind around the distress you might be experiencing.

Self-improvement shame is what I see almost all of my students go through, and it’s something that hinders your growth, which can be extremely frustrating, especially when what you’re looking for is transformation. Although you’re trying to fix your self-perceived flaws by using these tools, what you might actually be doing is layering on more shame and judgment in the process. My goal today is to help you uncover why this happens and how you can stop it in its tracks.
