Episode 97: How to Stop the Downward Spiral and Take Control of Your Life

In this episode of the Evolve Beyond Limits podcast, we’re diving into the concept of "spiraling up" or "spiraling down" and how it impacts personal growth. Life always throws situations our way, but how we react can either hold us back or push us forward. By understanding how our emotions and stories influence our decisions, we can break free from those stuck cycles that keep us feeling powerless.

Using real-life examples (like that dreaded “late payment” text), we’ll walk through the difference between spiraling down—where negative thoughts and self-doubt take over—and spiraling up, where we see situations as neutral information and take action aligned with who we want to become. You’ll also learn a simple journaling exercise to help recognize your patterns and start shifting them.

If you're ready to take control of your reactions and build momentum toward growth, this conversation is packed with practical insights. Watch until the end for actionable steps you can start practicing today to reframe challenges and move toward your goals. Don’t forget to share if this resonates! Let’s keep evolving together.
