The Power of Mindset in Personal Growth
Mindset is the foundation of transformation. It shapes how we navigate challenges, embrace opportunities, and ultimately create the life we desire. In a recent episode of *The Wild Sage Society* podcast, host Marcie Walker sat down with Alexis Nelson, founder of Latitude Wellness, an intuitive life coach, and Holy Fire 3 Reiki Master. Together, they explored the profound impact of energy healing, the importance of shifting limiting beliefs, and how personal growth often requires stepping into discomfort.
The Role of Intuition in Healing
For many of us, personal growth starts with a nudge—a quiet whisper from within that urges us to explore something new. For Alexis Nelson, that whisper led her to become a Holy Fire 3 Reiki Master. She didn’t plan for it, but she trusted her intuition and took the leap.
This is a powerful lesson in following inner guidance. So often, we seek external validation or wait for the "perfect" plan before making decisions. But Alexis’ journey reminds us that sometimes, growth begins when we simply say yes to what feels aligned. Intuition is not about knowing all the answers upfront; it’s about trusting that the next step will reveal itself.
Energy Healing & Mindset Work: A Holistic Approach to Transformation
Personal growth is more than just shifting your thoughts—it’s about addressing the whole self. Alexis integrates Reiki, sound therapy, and mindset coaching to create a holistic healing experience. Why? Because energy is stored in the body, not just the mind.
Our thoughts influence our emotions, and our emotions influence our energetic state. When limiting beliefs take hold, they don’t just affect our mindset; they manifest as tension, fatigue, or even illness. Energy healing works by releasing these energetic blocks, allowing for a deeper transformation beyond mindset shifts alone.
If you've ever tried affirmations or mindset work but still felt stuck, it may be time to explore healing on an energetic level. True transformation requires addressing both the conscious and unconscious aspects of ourselves.
Breaking Through Fear & Limiting Beliefs
Many people unknowingly operate from outdated programming. These beliefs—often formed in childhood—shape how we see ourselves, our potential, and what we believe is possible. Alexis emphasizes that self-awareness is the first step in breaking free from these unconscious patterns.
Ask yourself: *What narratives am I holding onto that no longer serve me?* *What fears are keeping me from stepping into my full potential?*
One of the most powerful ways to shift limiting beliefs is through reframing. Instead of seeing fear as a stop sign, see it as a doorway to expansion. When fear arises, it often signals an opportunity for growth. Rather than avoiding discomfort, we can learn to move through it with awareness and self-compassion.
The Power of Shadow Work
Shadow work is the process of uncovering and integrating the hidden aspects of ourselves—the parts we've repressed or ignored. While this can feel uncomfortable, it is one of the most powerful tools for self-growth.
Alexis and Marcie discuss how shadow work allows us to reprogram outdated beliefs, break free from conditioned patterns, and cultivate self-trust. By facing our unconscious fears and wounds, we reclaim our power. Rather than being ruled by our shadows, we can integrate them into our personal growth journey.
As Marcie wisely states, *“Discomfort is the currency of growth.”* The more we lean into the work, the more we expand.
The Importance of a Safe Healing Space
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Alexis highlights how crucial it is to create a safe space—both energetically and psychologically—where true transformation can take place. Whether through coaching, therapy, or self-guided practices, a healing container allows us to process emotions without judgment.
For those navigating personal growth, this means:
✔ Setting boundaries that protect your energy
✔ Seeking out spaces where you feel seen and supported
✔ Creating daily rituals that foster emotional and mental well-being
When we feel safe, we can fully surrender to the healing process and embrace growth with an open heart.
Actionable Steps to Shift Your Mindset and Energy
Ready to step into your next level of personal growth? Here are some practical steps inspired by this episode:
🔹 Self-Awareness Exercise – Pay attention to your recurring thoughts. Are they empowering or limiting? Start practicing discernment by questioning whether these thoughts support your highest potential.
🔹 Create a Healing Container – Journaling, meditation, and working with a coach or healer can help you process emotions and shift limiting beliefs in a safe space.
🔹 Explore Energy Work – Experience the benefits of Reiki, sound baths, or other energy-based healing practices to release stagnant energy and reconnect with your intuition.
Final Thoughts: Your Mindset Shapes Your Reality
As Alexis beautifully puts it, *“Clarity starts with awareness, but alignment comes from trusting yourself.”* Personal growth is not about reaching a final destination—it’s about continuously evolving, trusting the process, and embracing each step of the journey.
The way you think influences the way you live. If your thoughts create your reality, the question to ask yourself is: *What am I choosing to think today?*

The Missing Piece: Why Clarity Alone Isn’t Enough
Many of us strive for clarity, believing that once we “figure things out,” everything else will fall into place. However, as Sharon emphasizes, clarity alone isn’t enough—alignment is the true key to unlocking momentum. Without alignment, even the most well-laid plans can feel forced and unsustainable.
She explains that misalignment often manifests as exhaustion, frustration, or a sense of emptiness, even after achieving what we thought we wanted. The solution? Understanding and integrating your personal strengths, values, and processing styles into your life and business strategies.
Notable Quote: “Clarity gives you focus, but alignment gives you momentum.” – Sharon Spann
Recognizing When You’re Forcing vs. Flowing
We’ve all been there—pushing so hard to make something happen that it starts to feel like an uphill battle. Sharon highlights the importance of recognizing when we are forcing an outcome versus when we are in a state of natural flow.
Forcing often feels like constant resistance, while flow feels like things are unfolding with ease and synchronicity. One way to shift into flow is to pause and ask yourself: Am I pushing this because I think I should, or because it genuinely aligns with me?
Actionable Step: The next time you feel like you’re forcing something, take a step back. Ask yourself, What would ease and flow look like in this situation? Releasing control can often open the door to greater opportunities.
Introducing the D.A.I.S.E. Framework
One of the most impactful parts of this episode is Sharon’s introduction of her D.A.I.S.E. Framework, a five-step process for achieving clarity and alignment:
- Discover – Identify your true strengths, values, and unique gifts.
- Align – Ensure that your goals, actions, and strategies are in sync with your authentic self.
- Ideate – Brainstorm possibilities without limitation, allowing creative solutions to emerge.
- Strategize – Develop a plan that is both practical and aligned with your values.
- Empower – Take action with confidence, knowing that your path is rooted in authenticity.
Sharon explains that this framework isn’t about rigid steps—it’s a fluid process that allows for evolution and refinement over time.
Notable Quote: “The best strategy that is misaligned is almost no strategy at all.” – Sharon Spann
Understanding Your Personal Processing Style
A fascinating insight Sharon shares is the idea that we all have different processing styles—visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. Understanding how you process information can significantly impact how you communicate, make decisions, and structure your workday.
For instance, a visual processor might benefit from vision boards and diagrams, while an auditory processor might retain information better through spoken conversations or voice memos. Kinesthetic processors, on the other hand, may need to physically engage with something to truly understand it.
Actionable Step: Reflect on how you best absorb and retain information. Experiment with different learning and planning techniques to find what works best for you.
Are You Stuck or Just on Pause?
One of the most eye-opening discussions in this episode is the distinction Sharon makes between being “stuck” and being “on pause.”
Being stuck implies a deeper resistance—perhaps an internal fear, misalignment, or a belief system that needs to be addressed. Being on pause, however, can simply mean that the timing isn’t right or that you need more information before moving forward.
Sharon encourages listeners to ask themselves: Am I truly stuck, or am I just waiting for the right moment.
Actionable Step: If you feel stagnant, write down your biggest hesitation. Is it fear, timing, or a lack of clarity? Identifying the root cause can help you determine your next move.
Practical Steps to Move Forward
Sharon provides practical, actionable steps for listeners to start integrating clarity and alignment into their lives:
- Self-Assessment Exercise: Identify an area in your life or business where you feel resistance. Is it due to a lack of clarity or misalignment?
- Pause Before Forcing: When you feel yourself pushing too hard, stop and ask: Am I forcing this? Consider what a more aligned approach might look like.
- Try the D.A.I.S.E. Framework: Walk through Discover, Align, Ideate, Strategize, and Empower to create a roadmap tailored to your personal strengths and values.
Final Thoughts
Sharon Spann’s insights serve as a powerful reminder that success isn’t just about setting goals—it’s about aligning those goals with who you truly are. Whether you’re a high achiever feeling unfulfilled or someone searching for the next step, this episode provides invaluable tools to help you shift from force to flow.

There is a quiet moment that happens for many women somewhere between their late thirties and early fifties.
You are standing in your kitchen, maybe after another restless night, and you realize:
"I don’t feel like myself anymore."
The vibrant woman you once knew feels distant.
Your energy is inconsistent.
Brain fog clouds your focus.
Your confidence, once easy and intuitive, now feels harder to access.
You wonder, "Is this just how it is now?"
Let me offer you a different perspective.
Midlife isn’t a crisis. It’s a calling.
An invitation to rise into the most powerful, wise, and clear version of yourself you have ever known.
And it begins with understanding what is truly happening — not just on a physical level, but on a deeply emotional, energetic, and spiritual level too.
The Truth About Midlife Transformation
Mainstream culture tends to pathologize midlife, especially for women.
You hear words like "decline," "aging," or "loss."
But in many ancient traditions, midlife was revered as the beginning of true wisdom.
The phase where a woman sheds outdated roles and expectations and steps into her sacred authority.
This shift is not a breakdown.
It is a breakthrough.
Your body, your mind, your soul — they are all signaling that it is time for a deeper alignment with who you really are.
The fatigue, brain fog, hormonal swings, and emotional turbulence are not random. They are messengers.
Messengers asking you to listen more closely. To stop pushing, stop performing, and start reclaiming your authentic vitality.
Why You Feel Disconnected Right Now
There are real, biological reasons why women feel out of sorts in midlife.
Hormonal changes during perimenopause impact everything from sleep quality to cognitive function.
Cortisol levels, often elevated from decades of stress, erode resilience.
Nutrient absorption shifts, leading to subtle deficiencies that impact brain health, mood, and energy.
And societal pressures often push women to override their natural rhythms — grinding through exhaustion without ever pausing to restore.
If you feel disconnected from yourself, you are not alone.
And you are not broken.
You are standing at the threshold of a powerful transformation.
And there is a path forward that honors your body, your mind, your spirit — and the woman you are becoming.
The Archetypes That Guide You Through Midlife
In the work I do with women inside the Women’s Holistic Health Coaching and Mentorship program, we often return to the wisdom of the Sacred Feminine.
The four major feminine archetypes — Maiden, Mother, Wild Woman, and Crone — offer a map for this phase of life.
Each archetype holds lessons and gifts:
- The Maiden teaches courage and curiosity.
- The Mother offers nurturing and creation.
- The Wild Woman ignites freedom, passion, and intuition.
- The Crone embodies wisdom, mastery, and deep presence.
Most of us were never taught how to honor these phases within ourselves.
Instead, we were taught to fear aging, chase youth, and ignore the inner voice calling us deeper.
But when you understand that midlife is the portal from Mother to Wild Woman and ultimately to Crone, you can move through it with grace, vitality, and power.
This journey is sacred.
It is yours to claim.
Common Symptoms Are Not Random
If you have been experiencing any of the following, know that these symptoms are not isolated issues. They are interconnected signals asking for attention.
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue or "energy crashes" throughout the day
- Sleep disruptions, especially between 1-4 a.m.
- Mood swings or emotional sensitivity
- Digestive issues, food intolerances, or bloating
- Increased anxiety or sense of overwhelm
- Disconnection from joy, passion, or purpose
Many women are told these symptoms are just a part of aging.
But the truth is, with the right support, they can be significantly improved — often reversed — through holistic, root-cause healing.
That is exactly what we focus on inside the Women’s Holistic Health Coaching and Mentorship program.
What Healing in Midlife Looks Like
Healing in midlife is not about going back to who you were in your twenties.
It is about becoming who you are meant to be now — with the depth, experience, and soul wisdom you have earned.
It looks like:
- Clearing the mental fog and reclaiming sharp focus and creativity.
- Having the energy to engage fully with life — without caffeine or willpower.
- Feeling emotionally balanced and resilient, even when life gets intense.
- Trusting your body’s messages and needs, instead of overriding them.
- Connecting to an inner sense of purpose that feels magnetic and clear.
This is not wishful thinking.
It is the result of aligning your nutrition, your mindset, your daily rhythms, and your spiritual connection to your deeper self.
This is the path we walk together starting June 20, 2025 — the Summer Solstice — inside the Women’s Holistic Health Group Coaching and Mentorship Cohort.
Why the Summer Solstice Is the Perfect Time to Begin
The Summer Solstice represents the peak of the light cycle.
It is the moment when the Earth is at the height of her outward expression — vibrant, full, illuminated.
Symbolically, it mirrors what happens when a woman says yes to her own becoming.
Starting your transformation on the Solstice aligns you with the energy of expansion, visibility, and conscious growth.
It is a powerful way to say:
"I am ready to step into the full light of my life."
If you have been waiting for a sign, this is it.
Nature herself is offering you a portal for transformation.
What We Will Cover Together
The Women’s Holistic Health Coaching and Mentorship program is a 12-week journey designed to address the root causes of fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalances, and emotional overwhelm.
We focus on three key pillars:
- BRAIN | FOCUS: Clear brain fog, restore clarity, and rebuild mental resilience.
- NOURISH: Align your nutrition with your natural cycles to support hormone balance and vitality.
- RESILIENCE: Strengthen your emotional, physical, and spiritual core to move through life’s transitions with ease and strength.
You will have access to:
- Weekly live group coaching sessions.
- Three private 1:1 coaching sessions with me.
- A digital vault of workbooks, nutrition guides, and self-hypnosis recordings.
- A supportive community of like-minded women on the same path.
You will not just survive midlife.
You will thrive in it — with more clarity, vitality, and confidence than you thought possible.
Your Invitation
You are not meant to navigate this transition alone.
You are not meant to "push through" or settle for feeling disconnected and depleted.
You are meant to rise.
You are meant to feel vibrant, clear, and strong.
You are meant to embody the Wise Woman you are becoming.
If your heart is stirring as you read this, know that the next step is simple.
Enrollment for the Summer Solstice Cohort of the Women’s Holistic Health Coaching and Mentorship is now open.
Spots are limited to ensure a high-touch, personalized experience for each woman.
We begin June 20, 2025.
This is your time.
Your calling is here.

The Weight of Unspoken Emotions: How Suppressing Your Feelings Leads to Mental Fatigue
The Silent Drain of Emotional Suppression
For most of her life, Sarah was the kind of person who kept everything inside. She prided herself on being strong, logical, and unshakable. When anxiety bubbled up, she pushed it down. When disappointment crept in, she convinced herself to “move on.”
But over time, something shifted.
Sarah started experiencing chronic exhaustion, brain fog, and a constant feeling of heaviness—as if she were carrying an invisible weight. She wasn’t sleeping well, her motivation had plummeted, and even simple decisions felt overwhelming.
At first, she chalked it up to stress. But through deep inner work, she realized the truth: her mental fatigue wasn’t just from doing too much—it was from feeling too little.
By suppressing her emotions for years, her nervous system had been in survival mode, expending massive amounts of energy just to keep everything locked away. And that’s what so many of us do.
We tell ourselves:
🚫 “I don’t have time to feel this right now.”
🚫 “It’s not that big of a deal—I’ll just move on.”
🚫 “If I let myself feel this, I’ll fall apart.”
🚫 “I don’t have time to feel this right now.”
🚫 “It’s not that big of a deal—I’ll just move on.”
🚫 “If I let myself feel this, I’ll fall apart.”
But emotions don’t just disappear when we ignore them. They stay in the body, draining our energy, fogging our minds, and reinforcing fear-based decisions.
If you’ve been feeling mentally exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in hesitation, this might be the missing piece.
Today, we’re diving into:
✔ The science behind emotional suppression & mental fatigue
✔ How unprocessed emotions keep us stuck in fear-based decision-making
✔ Sarah’s journey from emotional shutdown to clarity & confidence
✔ Proven strategies to process emotions and regain mental energy

The Science of Suppressed Emotions & Mental Fatigue
Why Do We Suppress Our Emotions?
From a young age, many of us were taught—directly or indirectly—that certain emotions are “too much.”
- Don’t cry, be strong.
- Don’t be angry, just let it go.
- Don’t be sad, look on the bright side.
So we learn to stuff our emotions down, intellectualize them, or avoid them altogether.
But here’s the problem: Suppressing emotions takes an enormous toll on the brain and body.
How Emotional Suppression Triggers Mental Fatigue
🔬 Neurologically, suppression drains cognitive resources. Research shows that suppressing emotions activates the prefrontal cortex (PFC)—the same part of the brain responsible for problem-solving, focus, and decision-making. When the PFC is overloaded with “keeping emotions in check,” there’s less energy left for clarity, creativity, and logical thinking.
🧠 Chronic suppression dysregulates the nervous system. Unprocessed emotions keep the body in a low-level stress response, leading to brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
⚡ Stored emotions create physical tension. The body holds onto unprocessed anger, grief, and anxiety, leading to tight muscles, headaches, digestive issues, and even chronic pain.
How Suppressed Emotions Lead to Fear-Based Decision-Making
When we suppress emotions instead of processing them, our brain stays stuck in survival mode. This means:
✔ We avoid making big decisions because deep down, we fear dealing with what they might bring up.
✔ We overthink every choice because the brain is already overloaded.
✔ We default to what feels safe and familiar, even if it’s not what we truly want.
✔ We overthink every choice because the brain is already overloaded.
✔ We default to what feels safe and familiar, even if it’s not what we truly want.
This is why suppressed emotions don’t just make us tired—they shape the way we move through life.
Case Study: Sarah’s Journey from Emotional Suppression to Mental Clarity
When Sarah started private 1:1 coaching and hypnosis, she wasn’t looking for emotional healing—she was looking for “productivity tools” because she was exhausted and unmotivated.
But within just a few sessions, it became clear:
💡 Her mental fatigue wasn’t a time-management issue—it was an emotional energy issue.
By processing unspoken emotions, releasing stored tension, and shifting her internal narrative, Sarah noticed:
✔ Her energy started coming back—not because she was doing less, but because she was carrying less.
✔ Her brain fog lifted, and decisions that once felt overwhelming became clear and obvious.
✔ She no longer felt emotionally numb—instead, she felt alive.
✔ Her energy started coming back—not because she was doing less, but because she was carrying less.
✔ Her brain fog lifted, and decisions that once felt overwhelming became clear and obvious.
✔ She no longer felt emotionally numb—instead, she felt alive.
She had been spending years fighting against herself—but once she started working with her emotions instead of suppressing them, everything changed.
How to Process Your Emotions & Restore Mental Energy
Like Sarah, you can break free from emotional suppression and reclaim your mental clarity. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Recognize the Signs of Emotional Suppression
If you’re constantly mentally exhausted, overthinking, or struggling with decision-making, ask yourself:
- Do I avoid difficult conversations to keep the peace?
- Do I feel like I don’t have time to deal with my emotions?
- Do I struggle to name what I’m feeling?
💡 Action Step: Spend 60 seconds checking in with yourself daily.
Ask: What emotion am I feeling right now? Where do I feel it in my body?
2️⃣ Create Space for Emotional Processing
Emotions are energy in motion—they need to move. When we don’t let them, they get stuck.
💡 Try This:
✔ Move your body (shaking, dancing, stretching) to release stored tension.
✔ Journaling prompt: “What emotions have I been avoiding, and why?”
✔ Breathwork exercise: Inhale for 4, exhale for 6—letting go of emotional weight.
✔ Move your body (shaking, dancing, stretching) to release stored tension.
✔ Journaling prompt: “What emotions have I been avoiding, and why?”
✔ Breathwork exercise: Inhale for 4, exhale for 6—letting go of emotional weight.
➡ Action Step: Choose one practice to release stored emotions this week.
3️⃣ Shift From Fear-Based Decisions to Intuitive Choices
Fear-based decisions often feel like:
🚨 Anxiety, tightness, or urgency in the body.
🚨 A need to control or overanalyze every outcome.
🚨 Choosing what feels “safe” over what feels right.
🚨 Anxiety, tightness, or urgency in the body.
🚨 A need to control or overanalyze every outcome.
🚨 Choosing what feels “safe” over what feels right.
💡 Try This:
✔ Before making a decision, check in with your body. Does this choice feel like relief or resistance?
✔ Name the fear. What are you afraid of happening? Is it real or a past wound talking?
✔ Remind yourself: You are safe to trust your decisions.
✔ Before making a decision, check in with your body. Does this choice feel like relief or resistance?
✔ Name the fear. What are you afraid of happening? Is it real or a past wound talking?
✔ Remind yourself: You are safe to trust your decisions.
➡ Action Step: Practice making one small decision from a place of trust instead of fear this week.

Breaking the Cycle: How Negative Thought Patterns and Isolation Keep You Stuck in Fear-Based Thinkin
Breaking the Cycle: How Negative Thought Patterns and Isolation Keep You Stuck in Fear-Based Thinking
The Silent Struggle of Isolation and Negative Thinking
For years, Mary thought she was simply an overthinker. She analyzed every situation from every possible angle, replayed past conversations in her mind, and feared she was always saying or doing the wrong thing. At the same time, she began pulling away from friends and social interactions—partly because she feared judgment, partly because she felt like no one truly understood her.
What started as self-protection turned into self-isolation.
Instead of breaking free from the anxiety that haunted her, Mary became trapped in a cycle of negative thought patterns and lack of social connection—two of the biggest reinforcers of fear-based thinking.
This is a reality for so many people navigating anxiety and self-doubt. The more we listen to our fear-based thoughts, the more we withdraw. And the more we withdraw, the harder it is to break free from those very thoughts.
But the good news? You can rewire your mind and reconnect to the world again.
Today, we’ll explore:
✔ How negative thought patterns reinforce anxiety and fear-based decisions
✔ The link between social disconnection and stress
✔ Mary’s transformational journey from self-isolation to confidence
✔ Science-backed strategies for rewiring negative thought loops and rebuilding connection
✔ How negative thought patterns reinforce anxiety and fear-based decisions
✔ The link between social disconnection and stress
✔ Mary’s transformational journey from self-isolation to confidence
✔ Science-backed strategies for rewiring negative thought loops and rebuilding connection
The Science of Negative Thought Patterns & Social Isolation
Why Negative Thought Loops Keep You Stuck
Your brain is constantly interpreting the world based on past experiences and thought patterns. When negative thinking dominates your internal dialogue, your brain creates a cognitive bias—meaning you unconsciously look for evidence to confirm those negative thoughts.
- Example: If you believe people don’t like you, you’ll focus on moments that reinforce that belief (a text left on read, someone forgetting to invite you somewhere) and ignore any signs to the contrary.
- Example: If you think you’re going to fail, your brain will focus on past mistakes instead of successes, reinforcing inaction.
The Isolation-Anxiety Loop
Humans are wired for connection. But when we’re overwhelmed with anxiety and self-doubt, we often isolate ourselves. Unfortunately, the more disconnected we become, the worse our fear-based thinking gets.
✔ Social disconnection increases cortisol (the stress hormone), keeping the body in fight-or-flight mode.
✔ Lack of social support reinforces the belief that "I'm alone in this," deepening negative self-perception.
✔ Without external feedback, negative thought loops spiral unchecked.
✔ Lack of social support reinforces the belief that "I'm alone in this," deepening negative self-perception.
✔ Without external feedback, negative thought loops spiral unchecked.
This is what happened to Mary. As she pulled away from social settings, she lost the support and perspective that could have helped her challenge her fears.
Case Study: Mary’s Journey from Isolation to Confidence
Mary joined private 1:1 coaching and hypnosis after spending years trapped in self-doubt. She constantly worried about how others perceived her, overanalyzed social interactions, and convinced herself that people didn’t want her around.
She knew she wanted to reconnect—to people, to joy, to a sense of ease within herself—but every time she tried, her fear-based thinking would pull her back.
Through deep mindset work, nervous system regulation, and hypnosis, Mary learned:
✔ How to challenge the cognitive distortions fueling her anxiety.
✔ How to reconnect with safe, supportive people instead of isolating.
✔ How to trust herself and others again.
✔ How to challenge the cognitive distortions fueling her anxiety.
✔ How to reconnect with safe, supportive people instead of isolating.
✔ How to trust herself and others again.
Her biggest breakthrough? Learning that her thoughts were not facts.
By rewiring her brain for confidence and connection, Mary was able to rebuild relationships, trust herself in social settings, and break free from the fear that had once dictated her every move.
How to Break Free from Negative Thought Patterns & Social Isolation
Like Mary, you can shift from self-doubt to self-trust, from isolation to connection. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Rewire Your Negative Thought Loops
Negative thought patterns can be unlearned. Your brain is constantly forming new neural connections—so the more you challenge limiting beliefs, the weaker they become.
💡 Try This:
- Name your negative thought. Example: “Nobody likes me.”
- Ask yourself: Is this fact or fear? What evidence do I have?
- Reframe it. Example: “I am loved, and I am working on building deeper connections.”
➡ Action Step: Write down one recurring negative thought and practice challenging it daily.
2️⃣ Reconnect with Safe Social Spaces
Fear makes us believe that withdrawal is safety. But true safety comes from connection.
💡 Try This:
- Start small. Reach out to one supportive person instead of forcing big social outings.
- Join a group aligned with your interests. Community heals isolation.
- Practice receiving. Let people show up for you instead of assuming they won’t.
➡ Action Step: Identify one way to reconnect this week—whether it’s a conversation, a support group, or an event.
3️⃣ Regulate Your Nervous System in Social Settings
If social situations trigger your fight-or-flight response, your nervous system needs reassurance that you’re safe.
💡 Try This:
- Before a social event, step into sunlight, take deep breaths, and ground yourself.
- During interactions, focus on body language and facial expressions instead of anxious thoughts.
- After, reflect on positive moments instead of analyzing perceived mistakes.
➡ Action Step: Practice one grounding technique before your next social interaction.
