    Chasing Thoughts | S03 E05: Chasing Down Beliefs

    Explicit

    In this latest episode of the Chasing Thoughts podcast, Mindy and Keith dive into the beliefs we’ve adopted throughout our lives—those handed down by our parents, teachers, and experiences. Many times the beliefs we’ve adopted are founded in fear, and that fear multiplies and grows in the silence of our hearts until they become the monsters of our worst nightmares. But the fear that formed into the creatures which control us so easily, were born to protect us. In reality, they are our friends and we need to build a better relationship with them. When we confront our fears it leads to a moment of awareness, and that awareness allows us to develop new ways of dealing with those fears, so that they once again take their proper place in our lives, instead of being the controller of our lives. Join Mindy and Keith as they discuss ways to break free from those fictional beliefs that no longer serve us 🧠💡 and learn how to follow what feels lighter and more expansive. It’s an empowering conversation about aligning with what uplifts us, no matter what life throws our way 🌱🌟.
