Ep 171 – How to Stop Giving Meaning to Set Backs: Empower Yourself! (13 mins)

Do you tend to over-catastrophise situations, or feel guilt too easily? You might layer on ‘meaning’ to all sorts of situations but there’s a much simpler way! Stay in control, feel better and more free with this strategy today!

I went to my yoga class last night… it was heaven. My yoga studio overlooks the beach, the sun was still low in the sky and I could hear the waves lapping the beach as I stretched and relaxed at the end of my class.

My yoga instructor, Annie, was whispering deep and meaningful suggestions to the room and then she said, “Sometimes a thing is not good; it’s not bad; it just is.”

And despite the fact I wasn’t supposed to get distracted, I did. What a thoughtful idea.

If you know you tend to layer on meaning to difficult situations (or your interactions with other people perhaps) and it can have a detrimental impact on your emotions and wellbeing, you will LOVE this discussion. x

Something important I said today:

Maybe it’s just an objective situation that just happened and nothing more. Maybe you don’t need to apply any emotion to it at all!” (Rebecca Allen, Host, Her Ambitious Career podcast)
