Episode Details

Millions of thoughts run through our heads every day, and most of us never question whether they're true. We just assume they are, because they're ours.

Sana talks with coach and podcast host Anthony Johnson about telling the difference between what's happening now and an old wound resurfacing, and which one is actually running the show.

About the Guest:

Anthony Johnson is a coach, speaker, and host of the podcast Living Your Spirit with Anthony. His work explores how thoughts and emotions shape how we experience ourselves.

Key Takeaways:

• A reaction bigger than the moment calls for is often an old wound resurfacing, not the situation itself.
• A simple gauge: does this thought feel good or bad in your body; that's a clue to whether it's true.
• People close to you push the exact buttons you need pushed to grow; that's the process, not proof something's wrong.
• Meditation and breathwork don't need to be perfect; one longer exhale than inhale can calm you in the moment.
• Acknowledging a hard emotion out loud, without rushing to fix it, is often what helps it pass.
