Detach from the outcome, Surrender to the (mofo) process

Dawn also touches on the idea of surrender and having faith in oneself. Keywords Detachment, outcome, process, goals, dreams, promotion, self-improvement, growth mindset Sound Bites "That person who relentlessly went after their goal, no matter what.

Keywords perception, mindset, emotions, thoughts, interpretation, reality, experiences, rewiring, neural pathways, choices, personal growth, trauma, societal expectations, high school, bullying, healing, childhood trauma, personal development, perception, reframing, journaling Takeaways Changing our perceptions and rewiring our minds takes effort and practice. Making choices that align with our true selves is essential for personal growth. Bullying and past traumas can have a lasting impact on our mindset and self-perception. Societal expectations can lead us down the wrong path, and it's important to listen to our true desires. Childhood experiences, particularly between ages 3-21 have a significant impact on our adult lives. Addressing and healing childhood traumas is important for personal growth and well-being. Our perception of events determines how we feel about them, and we have the power to reframe our thoughts. Journaling can be a helpful tool for remapping our thoughts and perceptions. Sound Bites "The meaning or thinking we give an event is what determines how we ultimately feel about it." "The reality is neutral. The event is neutral. It's the meaning, the thinking that we, the meaning that we place on the event that impacts how we feel." “There is a whole bunch of bullshit being sold at very high prices within personal development…and its dangerous.” *********************************************************** If you enjoyed this episode, please make sure to subscribe on Apple or Spotify.
