043. You Can't Choose Your First Thought, But You Can Choose Your Second | Monday Mindset Shift
Description
Struggling with automatic negative thoughts even when you're working on self-love and personal growth? You're not alone, and you're definitely not broken.
In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that changed everything for me as a recovering chronic worrier with terrible self-esteem. We'll explore why those automatic thoughts show up (spoiler: you can't control them!), and more importantly, how to use your power of choice in the second thought to build self-trust, reduce shame, and regulate your nervous system.
Whether you're battling "I'm not good enough," "I'm so ugly," or "I'll never figure this out," this simple but powerful practice will help you take back control of your inner dialogue.
Topics covered:
- Why 80-90% of our thoughts are the same as yesterday
- The shame cycle that keeps us stuck in negative patterns
- How to question automatic thoughts without judgment
- Building self-trust through conscious thought choices
- The nervous system benefits of this practice
- My personal journey from self-criticism to self-compassion
