You Have Climbed Mountains [Episode 76]

You have climbed mountains! In this episode, I talk about the dialog in our own minds that can adjust our thinking to be able to shift from "I am being beat up" to "I have climbed mountains!" The skill of having a Thriving Mindset is something that we can develop with the right tools.

Key Points from this Episode:

• Every time we reach a mountain peak, we find a beautiful view and can stop to recognize the strength we have displayed to get as far as we have.
• Sometimes faith alone isn't enough to keep us positive. It's one piece of the puzzle.
• Gratitude is one piece of the puzzle.
• Identifying our cognitive patterns and distortions is a piece of the puzzle.
• Connect with people.
• Celebrating our milestones and progress helps us having a Thriving Mindset.
• Planning for the struggles that we know will be coming our way makes the struggles easier. When we decide who we want to be ahead of time, it makes a major difference.
• Ask God what He wants you to do that day.
• Pick the section that you are struggling with the most and start with that if answering all the questions is overwhelming to you.
