When life throws a curveball, it's not the event itself that knocks us down, but the relentless negative thought loops that follow. I'm Carla Hudson, and I've battled through the grief of losing both my parents in quick succession. By sharing my personal journey and those of my coaching clients, this episode guides you through the murky waters of negativity bias and demonstrates how to reclaim the steering wheel of your mind.
We all face moments when fear and anxiety take the driver's seat, leading us down a path of panic and overwhelm. It's a cycle that's as common as it is crippling.
But what if I told you that the key to breaking free lies within your own perceptions?
Throughout the episode, we dissect the way our perceptions shape our reality and explore strategies to shift our mindset from negative to neutral—or even positive. I open up about navigating my personal losses and how I chose gratitude over despair, providing a beacon of hope for anyone caught in the throes of sorrow.
Finally, we confront the dread of the coming day—a symptom of a mind caught in the clutches of negativity. This episode offers a lifeline, a reminder that it's never too late to hit the reset button on your thought patterns. For those who feel ensnared in the quicksand of their own thoughts, I extend an invitation: reach out for a one-on-one coaching session or join my virtual coaching program, Next Level. Together, we'll break the chains of negative thinking and lay the foundations for a life brimming with fulfillment and purpose.
