info_outlineIn this episode, as we approach the end of 2024, I dive into the often challenging process of self-reflection that many of us face at this time of year. It's common to find ourselves caught in a cycle of overthinking and self-criticism, questioning our achievements and feeling like we haven't done enough. I share my personal experiences of being my own harshest critic and how this mindset can hinder our growth and success.
I explore the idea that we tend to be most critical of the very things that showcase our unique gifts and talents. I discuss how this self-doubt can stem from external influences, such as discouraging comments from others, which we internalize and allow to shape our self-perception. By over-analyzing our shortcomings, we create barriers that prevent us from moving forward.
I emphasize the importance of shifting our mindset from one of shame and judgment to a more neutral perspective. Neutral language is a tool for self-reflection, encouraging listeners to recognize their patterns of self-criticism and to replace negative self-talk with curiosity and understanding. This shift can help us break free from the fog of doubt and allow us to see our strengths more clearly.
I also touch on the significance of recognizing our emotional responses and how they can impact our ability to expand in our personal and professional lives. By focusing on our body and the present moment, we can release overthinking and align ourselves with our true potential.
I encourage you to celebrate your achievements from 2024 before setting new goals for 2025. Acknowledging our wins, no matter how small, is crucial for fostering a mindset of abundance and growth. By honouring our journey and recognizing our strengths, we can set ourselves up for success in the coming year.
