How Your Worst-Case Scenario Thoughts are Stunting Your Growth - EP199
Have you ever read a text from somebody that said, "we need to talk," and automatically, your mind started spinning?
Your body reacts, and BOOM, it's off to the races. You begin spiraling out. Envisioning scenarios of losing everything, being homeless, your life as you know it destroyed.
All these images were conjured up from just a few words on a screen and now, in your mind, you're living out your worst-case scenario.
You've been triggered!
Your body may react with adrenaline spikes and be ready to pounce, or maybe you go down the anxiety trail and panic or shut down.
Either way, you're caught in a spiral cycle, with your body reacting in a way that's meant to keep you safe. But it’s just keeping you stuck.
So, what can you do?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we walk you through where these reactions originate from and how they can cause energy blocks that can keep you from growth.
We'll discuss how you might unintentionally be reinforcing the story that you're stuck. And we'll talk about how you might be projecting your triggered thoughts onto your partner.
Listen in for insight on how you can bring awareness into the moment instead of falling into your old patterns of numbing out. Plus, we’ll look at how you can gain the tools and resources you need to stop spiraling.
