If we want to set ourselves up for success, we need to develop the skill of identifying and planning for obstacles.
The most common obstacles are our thoughts.
Some thoughts are minor annoyances, ones we can quickly see through and move past.
But some are Kryptonite thoughts, thoughts that when we think them instantly weaken us, sap us of hope and belief, and leave us feeling powerless.
Kryptonite thoughts can cause us to spiral in self-doubt, fear, shame, embarrassment, anxiety, depression. If we're not aware of them, they can incapacitate us.
Kryptonite thoughts feel more powerful because they cut through our protective armor and hit us where we feel most vulnerable.
But, like any thought patterns, they're habits. In some cases, they're deeply ingrained habits because we've believed them for so long.
We all have them.
But here's the thing.
Kryptonite thoughts are still just thoughts, which means we get to choose whether we keep them or discard them. They're still just sentences in our heads that have no power over us unless we make their presence mean something that creates an emotional charge or causes us pain.
In this episode, I share a few ways we can challenge Kryptonite thoughts so they stop holding us back in life.
If you're doing the work to loosen your most debilitating thoughts, you'll want to also listen to Episode 32 of the podcast: Choosing Motivational Quotes With Intention.
