Speaker 2: Hey everyone, Jessica Laine here. Welcome back to that girl Energy,

12
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:38,479
your daily dose of inspiration to kickstart your day with

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,439
a positive bang. Ever, wake up feeling like you're already behind,

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,079
like there's a mental weight pulling you down before you

15
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:48,200
even get out of bed. I'm talking about those pesky

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,679
negative thoughts that just seem to creep in, whispering doubts

17
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:55,600
and anxieties in your ear. Today we're tackling those head

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,719
on and learning how to let go of the negativity

19
00:00:57,799 --> 00:01:00,159
so you can embrace the good vibes and rock your day.

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,960
You know that feeling when you're crushing it everything feels

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,400
amazing and you're radiating that unstoppable energy. That's what we're

22
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:12,519
aiming for today. Let's get into it. First off, Acknowledging

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,959
those negative thoughts is super important. It's like giving them

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,719
a little spotlight so you can see exactly what's going on.

25
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,200
We tend to ignore or suppress them, but that just

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,519
lets them faster and grow stronger. Recognizing them, even if

27
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,000
they feel uncomfortable, is the first step to reclaiming your power.

28
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,920
Now I know what you might be thinking. Easier said

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,719
than done. It's like trying to swat away those pesky

30
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:40,200
flies that just keep buzzing around your head. Trust me,

31
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,799
I get it. But there are some seriously powerful tools

32
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:47,280
we can use to combat these negative thought patterns. Think

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920
of your mind as a garden. You wouldn't want weeds

34
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,359
taking over, right, so you need to pull them out

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,680
and nurture the beautiful flowers instead. That means actively replacing

36
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:01,560
those negative thoughts with positive ones instead of saying I

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,159
can't do this. Try This might be challenging, but I'm

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,199
going to give it my best shot. You're shifting your

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,120
mindset from a place of doubt to a place of possibility.

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,479
It's like giving yourself a mental high five and saying

41
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:19,599
you got this. Another powerful trick is practicing gratitude. Take

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,199
a few moments each day to appreciate the good things

43
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,800
in your life, big or small. Maybe it's the sunshine

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,120
streaming through your window, a delicious cup of coffee, or

45
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:32,800
a heart warming conversation with a loved one. Focusing on

46
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:36,000
what you're grateful for helps shift your perspective and cultivates

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,360
a sense of contentment. Remember, letting go of negativity isn't

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,240
about being Pollyanna all the time. It's about cultivating a

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,800
more balanced and realistic outlook. We all have bad days,

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,800
but it's how we handle those challenges that truly matters.

51
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,280
When you find yourself caught in a negative thought spiral,

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,000
take a step back, breathe deeply, and remind yourself of

53
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:02,719
your strength and resilience. You are capable of amazing things. Ok,

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,159
let me share a real life example with you. Remember

55
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:09,199
that big presentation I mentioned last week, the one that

56
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,280
had me feeling like I was about to launch into

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,719
orbit with anxiety. Well, instead of letting those nerves take over,

58
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:19,599
I took a few deep breaths, visualized myself rocking it,

59
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,120
and focused on the value I wanted to bring to

60
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:26,039
the audience, and you know what, it went amazing. I

61
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:30,280
nailed it, felt confident and received so much positive feedback.

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,360
The point is, even when faced with challenges, we have

63
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,520
the power to choose our response. When we let go

64
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,439
of negativity and focus on positivity, we open ourselves up

65
00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:45,240
to a world of possibilities. So what's your take away

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,840
to day? Remember this, you are in control of your thoughts.

67
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:52,919
Choose to focus on the good, practice gratitude, and embrace

68
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,280
the power of positivity. And don't forget to share this
