Even a former “most positive student” can hit a negativity streak. Even a well-practiced gratitude journaler can catastrophize. Even the most spiritual among us can spiral into negative self-talk. Indeed, even the host of who has a front-row seat to the life-changing nature of thankfulness, has days where the mind runs wild and the thoughts self-betray.

I want you to see me as selfless and sweet-natured–never stubborn or snappy or overly sensitive–and assume pride never drives me to curate your impression of me. But the truth is, pride can slide into our best of intentions, subvert our peace, and sandwich itself between us and other people....

256 - How to Dethrone Your Inner Control Freak the Easy Way
Ripple-Effect Faith with Twyla Franz
I’ve got a thing with control. I like to paint it as a virtue because self-control sounds less harsh. Like less of a problem. But it actually isn’t. Your need to feel in control might come out in different ways than mine. Perhaps you vocalize more than internalize. Perhaps you extend your controlling efforts externally rather than internally. But it’s the same thieving trio–fear, pride, and shame–eroding your peace, dimming your light, and keeping you in a rut.

254 - It’s Time to Oust Your Self-Doubt and Reclaim the Truth About You
Ripple-Effect Faith with Twyla Franz
Self-doubt surfaces quickly when it’s thinly veiled behind borrowed confidence and temperamental self-esteem. Maybe this is your story. To others, you appear secure, but you feel deeply insufficient inside. You can take the lead, finish the work, maintain a high standard of excellence, and pass as having it together. But you can’t outrun the voice that whispers, If only they knew how little you know, how long you’ve been in this role, or how lost you feel . . . If only they knew how un-brave and undeserving you actually are . . . If only they knew how meticulously you mask the...
