Can't Get Rid Of The Negative Inner Voice? You Are Not Alone

Esther Mbabazi Episode 6

We dive into the fascinating realm of understanding our thoughts and questioning the narratives we've been fed. Have you ever stopped to consider that thoughts are neutral, and it's us who assign them meaning?

We often get caught up in certain thought patterns because of ingrained beliefs and societal influences. But here's the kicker: our brains are wired to seek evidence that supports these beliefs, regardless of their accuracy.

We explore how unresolved questions or negative self-perceptions can hold us back, thanks to an evolutionary bias toward negativity meant to keep our ancestors safe. This tendency, amplified by past experiences and traumas, can create a skewed self-narrative that sabotages our progress and self-esteem.

But fear not! I'm here to remind you that failure is a natural part of the journey to success. By asking ourselves the right questions and reframing our thoughts, we can break free from the shackles of self-doubt and societal standards of perfection.

Let's challenge the notion that there's a one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Your value as a parent isn't defined by external standards or media portrayals. It's time to reclaim your individual authority and embrace the messy, imperfect, yet beautiful journey of motherhood.

So, join me as we unravel the mysteries of our minds and empower ourselves to rewrite our narratives, one thought at a time. Remember, you're not alone on this journey, and together, we can navigate the twists and turns of motherhood with grace and resilience.
