Do you ever find yourself feeling discouraged? Or have thoughts like... "It's too late for me to do this" "I'm not good enough" "Everyone else is better at it than me so why should I even try" The words we say to ourselves on a daily basis have a huge impact on us. Say something enough times and you'll start to believe it and act it out. In this episode, I talk about how we disempower ourselves and what we can do to change that. Change your thoughts and you'll change your reality.
