Negative Thought Patterns

All of us have them, those automatic negative thoughts that derail us from achieving greater abundance. Is there a way to truly stop negative thoughts and change our negative thinking patterns?

By ignoring them, you’re repelling the abundance that is meant for you.

We’ve all done it…use distractions as a way to avoid the chaos going on in our minds. 

We use:

  •  Wine 
  • Food
  • Netflix 
  • Social media 
  • Other people’s problems 
  • Shopping 
  • Drugs
  • Work 

The list is endless really. 

While this usually gives us some form of relief, it’s only temporary, and that nasty voice comes back again.

Sometimes these thoughts pop into our minds like popcorn on steroids, and other times they sit there like a pond of sludge, feeling impossible to clear and weighing us down. 

Your first instinct is to avoid those thoughts by ignoring them, but by doing this; they never get properly treated and addressed. 

I’ve been doing some heavy somatic trauma healing, and now my inner critic is trying to convince me that “I don’t have it in me to accomplish my goal this year.”

Our egos are so cunning manipulative, and relentless…I’ve tried to push this thought away, pray it away, demand it goes away…and it keeps coming at me with more strength.

I remembered what I teach my clients after coaching a client through a negative thought spiral this week (funny how they happen):

Calmly and lovingly reply to these thoughts with “I appreciate your opinion, and this isn’t true for me.”

Are feeling facts?

Just because something FEELS true doesn’t mean it is. FEELINGS are not FACTS. 

Go plug your brain into this episode and we’ll clean out your mind trash.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind.
But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
