Mastering your inner dialogue
Saboteur voices, those nagging whispers of self-doubt and negativity, often hinder our performance and happiness. Stemming from our primitive survival brain, these voices can be remnants from past experiences, trauma, or childhood.
“This won’t work out.”
“You’re not good enough,”
“You need to achieve more.”
“You’d better keep people happy.”
“You’re missing out.”
“You’re an idiot.”
They fuel stress, anxiety, and a range of negative emotions.
Navigate challenges with right-brain empowerment
Our left brain, designed for survival, tends to focus on threats, causing stress and limiting our perspective. Contrastingly, the right brain embodies empathy, compassion, curiosity, exploration, and innovation—key elements in navigating life's challenges. By reducing self-doubt, over-perfectionism, and procrastination, the right brain fosters less stress and more happiness.
Cultivate mental fitness
Understanding the concept is one thing, but actively accessing the right brain requires practice and repetition. Just as physical fitness demands consistent effort, mental fitness involves breaking free from left-brain dominance.
Top tips for mental fitness
Create a circuit breaker for left-brain stress responses by pausing for two minutes to focus on one of your five senses with full attention throughout the day. Try sensory exercises like feeling your toes, tuning into distant and nearby sounds, or focusing on your breath by placing a hand on your stomach and feeling the rise and fall.
Reframe your mindset
Following a circuit breaker exercise, identify and release saboteur voices. Reframe your thinking:
View outcomes as opportunities for growth.
Seek knowledge or skills to overcome challenges.
Connect with experienced individuals.
Prioritize tasks and consider delegation.
Grow your mental fitness
With practice, mental fitness flourishes, offering command over your mindset, reduced stress, heightened focus, and increased happiness.
