Description
Podcast #445 Talking Back to Your "What If's" If you have ever worried about backsliding in life, things not working out or that the good things in your life are too good to be true, this podcast episode is for you. In it you'll learn the how to talk back to your "what if's" and how to stay positive about being able to design your life, trust God's goodness and look at life as an adventure to be explored.   In this episode of The Confidence Podcast we're talking about:   ·       What your "what if's" are really saying about your thoughts ·       How to reframe your negative and fearful "what if's" into positive and powerful ones ·       Intentional thought creation and belief curation and affirmation ·       How to trust what you've learned and how you have grown ·       Believing in the decisions you make and have made   ANNOUNCEMENT   The Art of Asking.  Buckle up for a month of coaching that will scale your confidence for sure! June is "Ask Month." Yep, together, we are going to master the art of asking. Because, remember, you don't get in life what you hope for, or even what you deserve, you get what you are confident enough to ask for.  This applies even in your own self-asking and self-reflection. How you ask yourself what you want from life will determine how you design your life and ultimately live it out. Asking is a powerful thing, but too many of us tip-toe around it. And we end up missing out on what is actually available to us. I'll be doing some spot coaching throughout the month on the "art of asking," and will be doing it in multiple contexts - relationships, financial, career, sales, and more. Get excited because the more you practice asking, the better you will be at it. Together, we're practicing 30-Days of Asking with our 30-Day Ask Challenge.

I found myself falling in love with her podcasts after the first 5 minutes with her inviting attitude and love for Jesus. Since then I have binge listened to so many of her episodes. They bring me so much joy and have helped in my own struggles with confidence. I recommend this podcast to anyone looing for a dose of confidence or just something to brighten their day.    STEP ONE: Reframe the "what if" into what it really is > a direct, fearful thought.   1.     Turn the what if into a thought. 2.     Ask yourself if that thought serves you. 3.     Pick a new thought that you want to make serve you instead.  Let's play a game of "positive what if's." How does it work, you ask? For every negative "what if" is holding you back, I want you to pause, and write down the ultimate positive example of what COULD happen. I'm talking, best-case-scenario, most optimistic, intentional thought belief you can think. Most of the time our negative "what ifs" are costing us more than we possibly realize. It's time to break the pattern.  So tell me, how are you going to turn a negative "what if" into a positive one today?   Samples:
