Episode Details

Ever catch yourself spiralling into worst-case scenarios? You're not alone. In this episode, we explore a transformative question that can shift your perspective and calm your overthinking mind.

I share a personal story about our family trip to the Gold Coast, where pre-trip anxieties threatened to overshadow our vacation. By embracing this simple mindset shift, the experience turned out better than imagined.

You'll also hear a humorous yet insightful client story involving horses and drug testing, illustrating how this one mindset can redirect our thoughts from panic to calm.

We delve into the science behind this approach, discussing:

• Negativity Bias: Our brains' tendency to focus on the negative, especially pronounced in ADHD.
• Cognitive Reframing: A CBT technique that alters our perception to reduce anxiety.
• Neuroplasticity: How practicing new thoughts can rewire our brains for positivity.

Discover practical ways to apply this mindset shift in daily life, from tackling new projects to handling difficult conversations.
