123. Habits of Thinking: Two Painful Thoughts to Watch For Jun 12, 2024

Show notes

We all suffer from painful, recurring thoughts from time to time. But I've noticed in my professional work (and even in my personal life) there are two especially common thoughts that plague our psyche and create so much day-to-day stress: 1) "I should know better" and 2) "I should be further along than I am right now."

These thoughts can impact us on a monthly, weekly, or even a daily basis. Whether they are a part of your subconscious or conscious mind, if we believe these thoughts it can be terribly difficult to convince ourselves there's truth to anything different. That's why, on today's episode, we're exploring this duo in-depth so we can address them proactively.
