We've all heard that we should "think positively" when something in our life goes sideways, or when we hit a wall and start asking ourselves, "Why is this happening?" But we all also know that throwing a few good thoughts on top of your problems doesn't make them go away. Positive thinking works - but only if you know how to think positively in a way that your brain actually buys into. This is where coaching comes in. In this episode Coach Stephanie will use her current example of a never-ending spring sickness to highlight the process of going from "Why is this happening to me?" thinking, to the much more useful, "How is this happening FOR me?". This simple process will help you get out of negative or defeatist thinking (which happens to all of us now and then), and bring yourself back to a place of empowerment and energy, so that you can solve whatever problems are in front of you (because you can!).
